Hi Just thought I'd interrupt the twitter-like pace of this list lately [1] and mention this.
As I keep reading in feeds [2], linux.conf.au 2010 is on in Wellington early next year. We've discussed before how "cool" it might be to put up a paper, tutorial or display there [3], if _only_ we could get it together. Well, there are two days left. I'm writing this on the off-chance some motivated individual might have a spare few hours to put together something, anything, for this conference by Friday. (I would actually have liked to put together a proposal for a mini-conf on open data, but alas that deadline passed a few weeks back. ~:) I think OSM's profile in the FOSS community is a little dim. Would someone like to put some words together to go about addressing this? If you do, best to let the list know of your intent to do so. You might even get some helper elves. Urgh. A tutorial on getting traces/whatever on the ground, using them to edit the map, and then what can be done with that data, seems the most compelling content to me. What's not to love about it? Cheers [1] Yes, the signal to noise ratio of late is a real issue for me!
