[Talk-GB] OSM mapping parties/events in London in November
Hi All, Sorry to burst into the conversation here, but I organize the Geo DC meetupshttp://www.meetup.com/Geo-DC/in Washington, DC, and I am going to be in London for vacation on Nov 4-6 and again Nov 18-19, and I was wondering if those dates might overlap with any chances to socialize! I'm very new to OSM, but I just attended State of the Map US a few weeks ago, and I'm excited to learn more and meet more of this really interesting community. Are there any meetups or mapping parties planned, or would anyone be interested in meeting up for a drink then? One thing that I know for certain I'll be doing is heading to SoHo to check out the [site of the] Broad Street pump and the John Snow pub. No idea if the pub is any good, but John Snow is a pretty interesting character, so I'm excited to follow up some of the reading I've done recently by actually walking around the neighborhood that saw the worst of that particular cholera outbreakhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1854_Broad_Street_cholera_outbreak . Anyway, just wanted to see if there way any interest. Cheers! Kathleen Danielson ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

The John Snow is reasonable - it's a Sam Smith's pub these days so nothing special except that the beer is cheap. We have used it once or twice for meetups, but not recently.

If you are in other parts of the UK between those days you may find other areas with social meetings too.

Kathleen Language really not likely to be a barrier where you are going! PS: should have said - a really good book on the whole Snow/cholera thing is: http://www.theghostmap.com/ Cheers Steve From: Kathleen Danielson [mailto:kathleen.daniel...@gmail.com] Sent: 31 October 2012 15:53 To: Philip Barnes Cc: OSM Talk GB Subject: Re: [Talk-GB] OSM mapping parties/events in London in November Nope-- between those days I'll actually be in Amsterdam, Brussels, Bruges, and Paris.

Re: [Talk-GB] OSM mapping parties/events in London in November
Hi Steve-- I think you're probably right. I mostly just wish my own language skills were better! Thanks for that link as well-- I actually just read that book, but hadn't know about the website! As someone who has studied a bit of geography, public health, and urban planning, I've always been fascinated by John Snow! Thanks, everyone, for all of your advice and encouragement! Hope I'm able to meet up with some of you while I'm in town!
