 dear all,
 
 Pls forgiveness if this is old news/missed in digest, but heard today 
 that the new VectorMap District OS dataset is expected out tomorrow, 
 however OS are unable to make any announcement about it due to 
 pre-election purdah. Suppose it will quietly appear at 
 https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/opendatadownload/products.html
 
 Wonder if there'll be building level detail, decent coverage of green 
 space etc.
 
 cheers,

The data looks quite interesting especially with all the layers.

Can anyone advise the best way of playing with ESRI data?

They are shapefiles unless I am mistaken. That means that you can find tools
like ogr2osm, shp-to-osm, polyshp2osm to manipulate them if you need to.
Shapefile are pretty much the lingua franca in geomatics.
