Birmingham group meets tonight. Will discuss and give some feedback afterwards. We did get some local press interest following the press release and the odd article written here and there. Also several of the local Birmingham bloggers pushed it out. We have a radio interview lined up for next month. My initial view is that it takes time and effort to get the map noticed and it's important to find local groups who are enthusiastic enough about what has been achieved to help spread the word. Appealing to the general public is more difficult, but something we are exploring.
