In Birmingham Open Mercia are running an event to collect and add data to a
community regional datastore.

We hope some Mappa Mercia people can come.
I can go. I can talk someone at Geolytix about SOTM beforehand.

re: OFCOM consultation on Postcode Address File
The Open Data User Group makes the case for an open addressing dataset.
This blogpost makes the general case and considers three likely options
for the future of PAF
The Open Data User Group has produced several reports arguing for the
creation of a National Address Dataset to be released under the Open
Government Licence. This would include the Postcode Address Files.

Hi Jeremy and Mappa Mercia people
I spoke with Bob Barr (AGI) about this recently and whilst he was enthusiastic
about a Midlands UK SOTM bid he shares the concern that if the dates are not
closely aligned with FOSS4G we risk diluting attendance at both events.

Hi Brian and everyone
Does that mean there would be no use for the aerial survey which BCC
commissioned and which was subject of an FOI?
Which is the most up to date source?

there is another approach, which is to download the data for all companies in

So the search returns *named* allotments? That would explain why we

Good news. Thanks Brian and Andy.
Would it help if we had an editing day to get people together and update a lot
in one go? It would share the work, and less experienced people could
contribute and learn something at the same time.

Tutorial session booked
Counting on a few experienced mappers to show new people the basics.
Confirmed with Nick Booth we can run OSM tutorials at the Birmingham Social
Media Surgery.
17.30 to 19.00 Tuesday 9th March
7 Cannon Street B2 5EP
we could continue at a cafe with wifi afterwards.
A bit
I was thinking about a blog which ran stories about OSM in use, maybe covers
related GIS stories.
Aimed at new users and interested webdevs. Also PR stories like the one we did
for WM Observatory
Can have multiple contributors.
Any use?

If local bloggers know about OSM and start using embeds it will have a big

Hi all
I suggested to Brian that if we had a tutorial for beginners we could get edits
for the gritting map done and encourage some Birmingham bloggers to start
using OSM. We are going to meet on Saturday afternoon in central Birmingham. I

Agree about PR value of timely information. Thanks Christoph, Andy, Brian.
Meanwhile, I'm posting the updates to Twitter.
Is there a way for new and inexperienced mappers to participate in updating the
