<span class="gmail_quote">Hi all,<br><br>There will be an "Intro to OSM" presentation at HOSUG next week. Posted here on the off-chance that others in Southern Ontario might be interested. The user group annonuncement is quoted below.
<br><br></span><span class="q"><span class="gmail_quote"></span>This is an email from 'HOSUG - The Hamilton Open Source Users Group'<br><br></span><span class="q">We've got a great lineup for you at the next HOSUG meeting on Tuesday, December 12th from 7:00pm - 10:00pm. Once again we're in the Variety Room, next door to the Staircase Cafe Theatre -- see the website for directions and parking details.
<br><br>Richard will introduce us to the awesome Open Source geographic data project called "Open Street Map", which he describes as "a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them; the project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive or unexpected ways." He plans to demo the steps in collecting, categorizing and contributing data to OSM.
<br><br>Stephen will talk about wireless networking with a focus on HostAP. If we encourage him, Stevo says he will even perform a live cracking of a wireless connection!<br><br>See you on Tuesday night!<br><br></span><a href="http://hosug.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
