Hi Steve, I'll spread the word locally with the OSM community about SoC event in Glasgow and see if anyone can give a presentation.
I like to think a lot of the map data is 'hidden' in Glasgow. What we miss in buildings etc we make up for in bus routes, cycle parking and 3D tags :-P But yes, a mapping party is always appreciated! There's a fair few notes on the map just around the university which could make a nice break for attendees to look at? But if you want to pick an area and go map - that would be great. Put it on the wiki and get the local mappers can support. BTW There is a Glasgow OSM meetup is on the 18th August: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Scotland#Welcome Thanks, Tim > From: talk-gb-requ...@openstreetmap.org > Subject: Talk-GB Digest, Vol 89, Issue 15 > To: talk-gb@openstreetmap.org > Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:00:02 +0000 > > Send Talk-GB mailing list submissions to > talk-gb@openstreetmap.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > talk-gb-requ...@openstreetmap.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > talk-gb-ow...@openstreetmap.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Talk-GB digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
