Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping Party Edinburgh
Is this still planned to go ahead for tomorrow? I don't see any recent updates on the wiki. ~ Callum On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 10:44 AM, Bob Kerr < openstreetmapcraigmil...@yahoo.co.uk> wrote: > Hi, > > We will be having a mapping party on Saturday 3rd July all welcome. > > We will be mapping the Zoo and Corstorphine Hill > > Details here > > http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Edinburgh/MappingParty/2010-07 > > > ___ > Talk-GB mailing list > Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb > > ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] Edinburgh Meetups: Glasgow Central Scotland
Hi Bob, Sounds like a good idea. I organized a meetup in Glasgow back in Feb '08. There were a few Edinburgh people came through but in the end there weren't as many people came as had posted to the list or on the wiki (there were only 4 of us in the end I think). Despite the poor turnout was good to put some faces to the edits. Since then I've not done much mapping but am going to start to try to get back on top of things. I'd try to make it along to anything organized in Glasgow.

I'll try and be there for just after 7. Meet in the family area to the left of the main entrance as you are going in (same place as scotlug does(!)).

May I propose (a slightly unoriginal choice of ) Counting House on George Square; it's central, close to train station for Edinburgh folks, and cheap. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=55.861&lon=-4.252&zoom=17&layers=B0FT As for mapping - Glasgow city center is mostly mapped in terms of streets but doesn't have too many POIs; so if you want to do some mapping before hand maybe grab some on the way there I've put a page up at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/WikiProject_Scotland And linked off the current events on the Main_Page -- Callum ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb

Edinburgh had a meeting last year There is a ScotLUG meeting that night and there are quite a few Glasgow based mappers (5 i think) that will at that so couldn't make an osm meet. This was mentioned on IRC the other night and other dates were discussed - 27th / 29th (?) Someone want to go ahead and make a decision then we can ping a few other local people that might not read talk-gb? -- Callum ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb

What were you guys thinking for a meetup - just some beers rather than a mapping thing? I'd be up for meeting up with some local mappers. When/where were you thinking of? -- Callum ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
[Talk-GB] Scouts Mapping in Central Scotland
Hi All, I was speaking to someone involved with the Scout Network in Scotland, which is an organisation for ex-Scouts aged 18-25. He suggests a joint mapping weekend/party somewhere in Central Scotland between the Scouts and some OSM contributers. With some of us to give a talk on the project and a demo of how to go about mapping/editing. (They have there own supply of GPS) A brief discussion suggests that this might be better based at a larger town which is pretty blank on the map, rather than in Glasgow/Edinburgh - which for the most part - have their centers mapped quite well now. Falkirk came up as a possibility but anywhere central could work out. I understand they have access to accommodation for themselves in quite a few places - not sure of the exact details of this though. Any Glasgow/Edinburgh/Central Scotland people interested in this? -- Callum ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
