OK It looks like I've persuaded Emilie Laffray to do the talk at Open Knowledge conference (if she's still happy with that?) Thanks to her for taking on that task. Turns out it's only a 15 minute slot. They'll be lots of other interesting topics and people there I'm sure, so you might like to go along to cheer on Emilie / help answer questions, but otherwise...
We still need a couple of people to be in charge of a Brixton mini-mapping party thing. Let me know please Or otherwise there's the Wiltham Mapping party that Saturday too! Great stuff Ed. While I'm at it, there's a whole bunch of UK stuff happening THIS Saturday (17th) : * Birmingham mapping party: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mappa_Mercia#Micro_Mapping (nothing 'micro' about it!) * Haslemere mapping party: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Three_Counties_Mapping_Party * Crisis Camp London: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Crisis_Camp_London - I'm the only OSMer going so far, but they'll be "other" people there +pizza. ----- Original Message ---- From: Ed Loach <[email protected]> To: Harry Wood <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Wed, 14 April, 2010 21:53:27 Subject: RE: [Talk-GB] Open Knowledge Conference and Spacemakers Brixton Harry wrote: > On Saturday 24th April there are two really interesting (but > unrelated) possibilities for bringing OpenStreetMap to new > audiences.

And the third new audience: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Witham/201004_Mapping_Party It looks like I'll be doing the Witham talk. If it goes well I hope to try and pass the idea on to other Mensa groups around the country as a different sort of meeting and see if I can get similar talks run in OSM quiet zones.
