A roundup of plans for this weekend in Wolverhampton. I will be at LUGRadio [1] live all day Saturday. Speaking about OSM at 3pm but plan to do some mapping during the morning as a method of producing an informal map of the venue. If you want to help me/meet up give me a call and I'll come out. The event is sold out so you won't get in unless you already have a ticket.
Because the Saturday venue doesn't have exhibition space we can't put on an OSM display of any kind. Therefore the proposal is to move the mapping efforts primarily to Sunday's OggCamp [2] at the nearby Connaught Hotel. I'll announce that a mapping event/party will be on the list for Oggcamp during my Saturday talk (and to those I meet and greet on Saturday individually) so I would expect a good showing, especially if the 4 lads discuss OSM in their live radio show as they did last time. On Sunday the doors open at the Connaught at 10:30 but I'll be at the hotel from 10:00 with the anyone else who can muster the energy (clocks change don't forget) in order to think about where to map and how to organise anyone that wants to have a go. I'll have a dozen GPS's available and will print a few walking papers sheets out for use as well. We should have wifi access at the Hotel. Hope to see as many of you as possible over the weekend. LUG groups have traditionally been a strong source of both mappers and coders for the project so I'm sure it will be worthwhile. Hope you can come and enjoy the informal fun.
