Nick,
I would be interested to join a meeting on Android phones. Won't be much of a
contributor in development, but we sure can use the technology to ease data
capturing and cleaning. If we get a group together, I can offer a venue at the
University of Pretoria to meet.
Best,
Johan

Hi OSM community of Africa,
Sorry that I post in English but I can't write I your language :/
I guess some of you might notice that I created a map of local user groups
http://usergroups.openstreetmap.de
using a bot crawling templates out of the wikipages
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:User_group
I already tried to get in contact for the most nations but there seem to
be no local group that meets regular in Africa, or?
regards
Matthias

Not in South Africa, no.
Perhaps Mikel Maron has organized some kind of user group in Kibera ?
But it will not be a typical user group.

Speaking of meeting up: Anyone in Gauteng interested in meeting to
discuss the present and future of OSM on Android ?
I count at least 5 OSM apps that have been released for Android during
the last 2 months alone (KeypadMapper, MapQuest, Navit, Nick
Whitelegg's project and Gosmore). Anyone who haven't see augmented
reality type apps will surely be impressed.
