[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Invite to all mappers in Birmingham/West Mids for April 2nd

[Brian Prangle]

Hi everyone

This is the text of a message I'm in the process of sending to every
contributor. I've done about 25 so far

First of all a big thank you for contributing to the map of Birmingham and
environs – we completed the metropolis at Christmas 2008. A small group of
dedicated mappers meet monthly at the Queens Arms pub in Newhall Street
Birmingham (yes it is mapped!). What we’d like to do is for as many people
as possible who have contributed to come to our April meeting on Thursday
April 2nd from 7pm onwards. As a thank you we’re trying to print the map
onto something like a mug or a T-shirt (or perhaps just a paper copy) as a
souvenir of your pioneering effort.

(You can of course always turn up to our March meeting on Thursday March 5th
!)

We keep in touch via Talk-gb-westmidlands at openstreetmap.org, so if you’d
like to keep in touch with what’s happening  you can subscribe to the list.

We also have our own wiki page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mappa_Mercia and our very own
website www.mappa-mercia.org.  Here we co-ordinate mapping activities- you
might like to contribute to one or some of the mini-projects we have created
for 2009 – the largest is to attempt  completion of the Black Country!

Now we’ve got  a map we need lots of community involvement to keep it
updated so any efforts you can make to promote OSM in however small a way
will help.

Look forward to seeing you on April 2nd
