Hi, I aim to start fairly slowly, My aim is to get a regular meeting in Edinburgh, I think there may be enough people and interest to have a pub meeting once every two months. I am starting by getting people to add[[Category:Users_in_Edinburgh|YOUR USER ID HERE]] on to their user page, this gives me a rough list of those that are in Edinburgh and may be interested. Shaun told me about the excellent http://www.itoworld.com/ Osmmapper http://www.itoworld.com/static/osmmapper to find out who has been editing recently and I have e-mailed them. Once we meet up which I think will probably be the first Tuesday in September then we can decide the details. I am hoping that if we have meetings every two months then I can do the same in Glasgow and we can alternate months It may be a little time before I get to Glasgow but if you know of a good location to meet at there I will post it to the Glasgow project page. Cheers Bob

I organized a meetup in Glasgow back in Feb '08. There were a few Edinburgh people came through but in the end there weren't as many people came as had posted to the list or on the wiki (there were only 4 of us in the end I think). Despite the poor turnout was good to put some faces to the edits. Since then I've not done much mapping but am going to start to try to get back on top of things. I'd try to make it along to anything organized in Glasgow.
