The OpenStreetMap project will celebrate it's fifth birthday on Saturday 22, August 2009 and you are welcome to help celebrate! We can all agree that OSM is very mature for a five year-old, so bring no gifts. Hopefully there will be no tantrums. ;-)
I'm co-hosting an OSM birthday party extravaganza, on the afternoon of the 22nd. We'll have fun, catch up with each other, debate the intricacies of various amenity tags, and we'll all get to enjoy refreshments including birthday cake suitable for a five year-old. We'll have a little coaching available for those new to mapping / tagging. (Thank you off-line editors!) Where: 77 Finch Avenue East, Just steps from the Finch Avenue subway station. Ample street and underground parking. When: from 1pm to 4pm, Saturday 22 August 2009 Why: Birthday cake! OSM is five! Bring: Optionally bring your laptop if you plan to work on mapnik rendering, OpenJump RoadMatcher configuration or general GIS geekery. We'll have wifi. Who: All current OSM contributors (and curious newcomers) are welcome. RSVP: Please! RSVP off list, or by adding your name to the wiki. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
