Lanyrd has a great website designed for mobile devices (and a dedicated app) so this will be ideal for conference delegates wanting to check the schedule.

Re: [Talk-GB] Find My Nearest Cash Machine
I don't really see the point of this thread. UK cash machine data is fairly dense in OSM, i very rarely find any that aren't already mapped. Can't we just extract OSM cash machines? This will spur us on to map them better in OSM in areas that are lacking, which will lead to a better OSM dataset anyway.

Does this mean that the fantastic postcode mapping by blackadder is now going to be removed: http://blog.mappa-mercia.org/2011/02/whats-in-postcode.html Or has he done enough to create a derived work which is exempt from the licence?

Re: [Talk-GB] - Map layer with OS Locator comparison from ITO

We're now able to get a lot of data for free from OS, I don't think it's unreasonable to report the odd error back to them so they can improve their map. +1 +1 Just to say that I was in discussion with the research guys at the OS about this last week and the status reports which we hope to have online next week will include a section of 'not:name's for each district which they have expressed interest in reviewing. The only small issue could be over licencing, however I don't believe that they would ever want to act on a report in OSM without checking it first on the ground so it will purely be treated as a clue for their purposes. Peter, Having used the data in a number of vastly different areas in terms of completion, i have noticed that as a measure of completeness there are a few flaws. I have done name updates in remote Scotland Wales where the OS Locator missing names tiles provide an incredibly valuable resource - mapping to the same extent as a huge number of nonamed roads. However, when attempting to get Cambridgeshire up to the top of the list for this measure of completion, i have noticed a large amount of really tricky difficult to diagnose OS Locator noname extents. In areas where there has been a huge amount of pedal power mapping by some very enthusiastic mappers in the Fens north of Cambridge, the data in OSM here is generally of a very high quality, for this reason i would dispute many of the OS Locator missing name polygons. I would assume that a number of these are down to the 'historical' nature of OS data place names. There are a number of local names for stretches of A B roads, which i would think are probably not signposted or have not even used in the locality for a long time - these may be covered by historical name tag (which i think does exist in places). For that reason i would be hesitant to put too much faith in the level of accuracy using this measure when completeness becomes something like 90 - 95%. I still think that for the majority of places which have huge swathes of noname roads we have a very useful resource here when used with a bit of common sense and I think you have provided a valuable resource/workflow for those who are always on the lookout for measures of OSM completeness (in the UK). Another point - has anyone made moves to compare the data in the other direction i.e. comparing OSM roads names with OS Locator - i have come across a number of 'new villages' (new roads within the last year or two) which i would assume are not in the OS Locator dataset. I guess this ties in with the feeding back of data to the OS - maybe they should run this using their budget to help guide their surveyors.

If we find an error in OS Open Data, rather than tag our own data to say someone else has got it wrong, why not just report it to OS. After examining the postcode data for my area recently I found a couple of errors, reported them to OS who have replied saying there is indeed an error and they will send someone out to re-survey the street.
