Mapping the Latimer Road area May 6, 2009
London, England W10 6SZ
Fancy some urban outdoor action after work, why not join us out in West London for another evening "mapping party"?
OpenStreetMap is an editable map of the whole world, which is being built largely from scratch by the community and released with an open content license.
This Wednesday we'll be aiming to fill a little gap in our data around Latimer Road (West London, also quite near White City) before meeting in the pub. It is open to everyone whether you are already an active member of the openstreetmap community or just curious to find out more about the project. Have a go at mapping (e.g. with a pencil & a printout), or just come along and join us in "The Station" pub!
We're meeting in the pub at around 8pm. Newcomers welcome! When you arrive in the pub look out for people with GPS units/ maps. Also make a note of this: Contact: Shaun McDonald 07879610632
Before that though, we'll be arriving in the area at around 6:30 to do some mapping. If you're interested in joining in with that, check the website details

Being close to the BBC offices in White City, I'm trying to work out the best way to promote this event to BBC folk. I imagine there's lots of technical people and technology journalist type people at the BBC who may find it interesting
