important to you. All Welcome. You do not need to be a techie to get 
involved. The world is your OSM.

workshops and give lightening talks throughout the day(s).

We hope to attract mappers, hackers, artists, journalists, cyclists,
cartographers and any organisations interested in participating in the
OpenStreetMap project.
