There is still time to get a poster up for the Open Day, on Saturday
after the conf. Even just a couple of A4 pages with stuff on. Any graphos about?

Or any ideas about what we should put on a poster about OSM and mapping in AU?

Absolutely. there are google maps that have tags on them, but I don't think
that it allows you to organise the data at all well.

Should be at the Linux Australia AGM or the Keynote on the Friday, IIRR.
It varies, but its usually late in the week.
