I'm going to Åkersberga for a short consulting gig this wednesday-thursday
(the day after tomorrow), and saw that it's very lacking in OSM. If anybody
would like to meet up on wednesday evening I'm interested.
Note, though, that I won't have a bike with me. Also note that I'm bringing
one of our new employees to teach how we do installations, so he may not be
interested at all. I'm going to ask him tomorrow.

Not very far north, but how about Motala? It fits the other criteria pretty
well.

Sounds good to me. If anybody is interested in a pretty small mapping party 2
hours from Stockholm, I have a couple of suburbs of Linköping that severely
need mapping. I think a one-day mapping party would be sufficient if we e.g.
start 10am and finish around 6 or so with a lunch and a coffee break in
between.
