Re: [Talk-GB] Spread the OSM message (Steve Chilton)
Hi, OpenGlasgow are working with Shawlands academy http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/55.83064/-4.28332 I have just been teaching the teachers how to use Openstreetmap. They are forming a project where they get the pupils to explore their community. It has just started but they have funding etc and should be finnished by the summer, I shall forward the details of the conference to them. I would be willing to join up for some Glasgow mapping.
