Hi Andrew,
Re Finding interested people for an Open Street Map event:
I suggest reaching out to the GeoRabble folks and ask them when they
have their next speaking night.
You could give a 5 minute pitch to attract people interested in setting
up a mapping event.
https://georabble.org/
I'm also CCing the Austrailan QGIS users group where you will likely
find a few interested GIS folks.
Cheers, Cameron

I've been keen to organise a workshop in Sydney around OpenStreetMap
and looking to make it happen later this month.
1. To help get more people involved with OSM, as both:
a) contributors and,
b) consumers
2. Provide an opportunity for people to share what they are up to with
OSM both:
a) mapping related and,
b) things being built with OSM
3. Provide a place for the local OSM community (both mappers and
consumers) to network and socialise
Perth has http://geogeeks.org/
Melbourne has https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/Maptime-Melbourne/
Brisbane has had some mapathon/mapping parties recently
I'm thinking of something similar in Sydney mixed between talks,
socialising and hands on workshops.
To this end "Maptime" is one brand to run it under, and at least
initially I've been talking with someone else who want's to run a
Maptime event in Sydney to run one around OSM.
Is anyone else interested in seeing this happen? I'm interested to
hear from anyone who's also keen on this.
At this stage it will be a weekday evening in the CDB (we have two
venue options for around 15-20 people in a workshop setting) sometime
the week of the 20th. I was planning on doing an intro to OSM, but is
anyone interested in giving a short talk, demo or workshop as part of
this?
