Hi fellow Linux users :) I wanted to tell you about an OpenStreetMap party being held after the Open Bridge Conference.
OpenStreetMap is "The Wiki Map of the World." Join the fun in creating and using the best map around. Worldwide, there are over 120,000 people contributing to OpenStreetMap. Do you like computers, GPS, maps, Free Software or in to GIS? You'll love OpenStreetMap. Make a map of your trip. Use a map created just for cyclists, hikers or geocachers! At our events we loan out GPS units for you to go out and trace your routes. We rejoin and show how to upload your data and make the map richer! You can also learn how to 'armchair' map but using aerial data and the internet. We'll be meeting at the downtown library in the US Bank room from 12pm-4pm on Saturday the 20th. For more information please visit the wiki at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Portland%2C_Oregon To RSVP: http://tinyurl.com/mapportland If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Happy mapping, Hurricane -- Hurricane McEwen Community Ambassador skype: hurricanecloudmade twitter: hurricanemcewen
