I've got (at least) two events for you next week: There's a "Missing Maps Project" humanitarian mapping event on Tuesday, and for a change I'm actually telling you about this *before* it has sold out! These events are a lot of fun. Bring a laptop. Join in with mapping, learning or teaching. Sign up now to find out why they keep getting booked up so fast! https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/missing-mapshot-june-mapathon-tickets-17028513743
Or if you want to make the most of the nice weather... On the evening of Wednesday 3rd June join us for some mapping around Caledonia Road. This is an area near Kings Cross, and we'll be meeting at the Thornhill Arms pub, which is a little walk (or a 91 bus) up from Kings Cross here on the map: http://osm.org/go/euu4zYtr~?m= 6:30 - Meet outside the Thornhill Arms. Harry will be loitering wearing his white OSM polo shirt 6:45 - Set off mapping on your own or with the guided tour 7:30 - Return back and go inside the Thornhill Arms pub. Consume beers & Food. Discuss plans to map the world! 11:00pm - closing time. ...It always happens. You can go ahead and map an area by yourself. You don't even need to meet us at the meeting place in fact. Just choose a slice of the cake with the following link: http://mapcraft.nanodesu.ru/pie/507 We're doing detailed mapping of building outlines, building heights, addresses, and any missing shops or other POIs we can spot. Guided tour? If you're new to this, you might prefer to go with me while I walk and talk, describing the kind of data we collect for OpenStreetMap. Email me (reply to this) in advance to let me know if you're interested in it. Sometimes nobody is, so then I'll shoot off mapping on my own. Otherwise it's useful to count up who's found us and who to look out for. Also take my number with you O7979815O13 Alternatively just meet in the pub at 7:30. Hopefully we can get a table, although this pub might be quite small. Sign up on lanyrd if you like: http://lanyrd.com/2015/openstreetmap-june-cally/ (Not everyone does. We expect a merry bunch of between 5 and 15 people attending) So two back-to-back events. That's fairly advanced notice by my standards. So no excuses! I expect to see you all at both of these events next week :-) If you want a triple-whammy, and you're based in a south-easterly direction, Nick Allen (Tallguy) has been running a series of OpenStreetMap events in Swanley. These are on Mondays. Let him know if you're interested. As always, these things are all listed on the wiki page: http://wiki.osm.org/London ...and tweeted about https://twitter.com/OSMLondon Harry _______________________________________________ Talk-gb-london mailing list Talk-gb-london@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-london
