Hello Everyone, I'm going to tentatively set the details. Feel free change anything. Just don't take too long because I want to send invitations to other groups and lists.
Date: Saturday, 26 March 2011 Time: 10am to 4pm for me (Nic). Everyone else is free to come and go at any time. Venue: Karoo Cattle and Land at the Irene Mall. I only suggest it because I know it worked well for the Ubuntu release parties. Any other suggestions welcome, even in Midrand or Johannesburg. Without routing: http://osm.org/go/k2UHaKxav-- With routing: http://goo.gl/8fCO7 Contact number: 083-765-9503 Internet: I (Nic) will set up an uncapped hotspot named "openstreetmap". Who should come: 1. Anyone who is interested in maps. I will show you how to edit OpenStreetMap, put it on your website / GPS / phone. 2. Anyone who is interested in augmented reality. I will show you Layar, Sky Map and a few other things. 3. Anyone contemplating buying a GPS or smartphone. I may end up saving you a few bucks. 4. Anyone who thinks Android is about more than gaming or rooting. Johan, thanks for your offer. But I think holding it at a restaurant is a bit easier with people coming and going.
