Re: [Talk-GB] London venues

[Jez Nicholson]

Hi Phil,

We are very close to confirming a venue and date.

The date will be pushed out into later June as we have to give 45 days
notice for an AGM, and to give people a chance to arrange transport, etc.

Regards,
 Jez

Re: [Talk-GB] OSMappers meeting in Norfolk

[Jez Nicholson]

Hi Nora,

As a mapper and OSMUK Director I would love to see you succeed. I am
interested in how we enhance OSM all over the UK. I'm wondering whether
partnering with an existing meetup such as NorDev to do a talk might shake
some mappers out of the woodwork? or generate some new ones? Or whether
Norwich could do with a Maptime or CodeClub? Or whether OSMUK could help?

Anyway, does anyone have any advice on 'finding you tribe' for real-life
OSM meetups?...or is it a case of starting with one person and building
slowly?

Regards,
  Jez

[Talk-GB] West Mids May meetup

[Brian Prangle]

 Hi everyone

Our May meeting is scheduled for Thursday this week and we're in Coventry
this month. Mapping first from whenever you can get there: we've chosen the
area around  Far Gosford Street
which looks in need of
improvement (lots of retail premises missing so fits in with our UK
Quarterly Project). So that we don't trip over each other and duplicate
effort let us know what you intend to do.If you've got another area of
Coventry you'd like to map that's OK too.
We'll meet for chat eats and drinks at the Botanist(not mapped yet!) in
Broadgate in the City Centre  from 8

Regards

Brian

Re: [Talk-GB] How would tag or name this wall crossing?

[Paul Berry]

Now that I know the name for them you'll soon see that usage spread out
across the rest of West Yorkshire :)

This is one of them, hiding in Leeds:
