[ELECTRON] [ELECTRON_ANN] OpenStreetMap party at Electron Club Sat 22 May

[Fozy 81]

Hi -Please circulate...


The Electron Club is hosting a OpenStreetMap party on Saturday 22 May and you are invited! 


OpenStreetMap is a free, open source map of the world that can be contributed, edited and used by anyone anywhere (like wikipedia). Mapping parties are social events where experienced and new mappers can meet to share and learn more about the project. The event is free and open to all. 


We hope new mappers, Green Map-ers, old mappers, map hackers, art cartographers, community action geographers, common good mappers, new media locators, geo-locating photographers, cyclists, hikers and anyone who has ever taken a wrong turn will be interested.
