[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

I know Edinburgh is fairly easy to get to. I could do a talk/demo if your looking for someone. I'm 21 by the way, so in the same age range. -- Gregory [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.livingwithdragons.com ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb

Somewhere on the train between Glasgow and Edinburgh, would probably work out well, At a quick glance Livingston and Falkirk might to good places to start. People with cars could head out a little futher afield if neccessary. I'm also more than happy to do a talk in the run up to any event. Anyone in Edinburgh/Glasgow up for some beers in the next few weeks? Cheers Chris ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb

As one of the longest term OSM people in Scotland (sorry about boasting), I'd better go on the record saying that I wouldn't be there. I have some major issues at the moment, which is also why I've done very little mapping recently. -- Bruce Cowan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb
