London-based mappers: If you were envious at Steve8 getting to go to hot-and-sunny Antigua to do some OSM mapping, then why not do some OSM mapping in hot-and- sunny East London on Wednesday evening. I can't promise views of emerald-green seas, or indeed any seas at all, but hopefully the views of Victoria Park, Tredegar Square Gardens and the Olympic Stadium will make up for it. More details and bag a slice at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London/Summer_2009_Mapping_Party_Marathon If we run out of slices, someone can have my slice 7, which has a "unique" (and currently unmapped) feature in the middle of it, or slice 6 which has the aforementioned stadium view. There are quite a few unmapped (not just unnamed) streets in the area - the eastern edge borders the Olympic development site so there's a lot of new housing and roads appearing in some parts. The OSM data for Bow will then be used in a special orienteering race in early September - this will, I believe, be the world's first orienteering event based on a map derived from OpenStreetMap data. If you can't make it for the mapping but are free later on, we will be heading to the Morgan Arms pub. Ollie
