> Friday, was able to present a map he created using the Maperitive tool to
> Coventry's Public Rights of Way officer. At the same time I have been
> following up with people I was able to meet during last years CityCamp
> Coventry event. So far this reaches to getting CCC to use our map tiles
> (see below), small steps but at least it gets OpenStreetMap into the
> vocabulary of council employees.
