Paul, Your in luck: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Gilroy_Mapping_Party ; http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-OpenStreetMappers/ Now that the bay area list was deleted the meetup is really the best place to fine events (although I do make sure its on the wiki as well). This is in conjunction with a local sierra club group.

I am not familiar with the gory details but the original poster wrote: Unfortunately, the particular area I'm working on does not have Terraserver/USGS urban imagery available.
