I’m just trying to figure out how many local guides there are in Canberra.
Comment if you are a Local Guide in Canberra and your level.

Nice to meet you Hugh, I am Praveen from Canberra, Level 7. I was looking for Local connect meet up.
Hugh, my name is Paul Smith and I am a Level 6 guide.
Hi,
I’m also from Canberra. My name is Karen and I’m a level 6 guide.
Hi Karen! Just checking if either of you are contemplating applying for the free trip to Connect Live in November?
Hey Paul, I am very much interested, due to my overseas trip for the last month I haven’t been able to work on the application processs. How about you? I read online that we need to come up with a minute video introduction and is it due by May 1st?
I’m just polishing my submissions up now. Will make a final decision based on how happy I am with them
Wow, good luck. I wish I had realised it was due so soon. I am almost inspired enough to stay up all night and do a video. I could pull something together using Quik (from GoPro) and all my saved pictures & videos around Canberra, and a quick talking head intro.
What software do you use?
Paul
A couple of things 
@aradhyapraveen the submissions are due at 10:00 am tomorrow.
Would any of you be interested in having a local meetup so we can swap ideas, tips, tricks etc @aradhyapraveen @smithy241 @hugh_hagan ?

I was actually going to try and organise a meetup about the submission, but too late now. Would be keen to have one anyway.
You can show us the video you submitted to inspire us at the very least!

Yes. All the best to whoever is able to submit if you are chosen, you will be representing us all from Canberra.
Im happy to meet up and share ideas or tips, I will be back in Canberra by the end of this week and will be available next week for a catch-up, any place in mind?
Thanks
praveen
I am not back in Canberra until the 20th. Perhaps we should organise a meetup for late this month, or early June?
Did we want to share our meet-up on the meet-up site?

Definitely we need to share it. You should be the person to submit it, as it might help with your application for the trip. We can help, but since you are the go gettem person who actually managed to submit an entry, you can probably handle it all easily yourself 
.
Hi All,
@austelechick , like Hugh mentioned it will give a better chance to your application if you organise the meet up, if you want we can have one sooner than June and one after. Just so you have a log of the meet up soon.
Please let me us know if there is something we could do for meet up.
Thanks,
Praveen.
Hey - I am back in Canberra now. We really should do this to give you a better chance of being chosen!
Have you received anything back from Google about your application?
Paul
Yep, Luke here. Live in Canberra and currently on Lvl 8
Hi - I’m wondering if anyone with a higher local guides rank can try updating the “Stromlo Forest Park Memorial” to be its proper name of “ACT Bushfire Memorial”

I’ve tried submitting it but Google always says it couldn’t verify the edit.
I just released your post from spam quarantine. Our filter is working to protect the community and you from unwanted content, but sometimes it can be triggered by something and remove a legitimate post.
Moderators are patrolling the quarantine to release the good post so, if your post has been rejected, don’t post it again. Simply tag a moderator (check here and here).
For more information you can read: Why was my Connect post marked as spam?
I would like to suggest to write a new post on Connect in How-tos category to find answer of your questions, because this is bit an old post, so its better to write new one.
Thank you.
