I'm unfortunately not going to make it down there, but I reckon there  
should be some interested people around.


What would probably be a good idea for next year, would be to get the  
university grounds and surrounding POIs mapped well - particularly  
with coffee shops, pubs, restaurants and other things LCA attendees  
will be interested in. I think that if we could show people some  
decent maps with useful-at-LCA places on it, people might keep them  
around and maybe become more interested in OSM.

I've been doing bits and pieces of the area recently - but while I  
know the area well, the Yahoo imagery is quite old. Not living in  
Tassie any more makes it harder. I did one of the residential  
colleges  where LCA attendees might be staying, but the imagery  
doesn't have the University Apartments, the new dining hall or admin  
buildings (all from 2003). Not that Christ College seems to have  
worked out well once rendered, all the building names are in weird  
places.
