Quite right to. I almost did a post about Norfolk this evening,
fantastic recent progress and the thought that it might make a good
location for a summer mapping party and as a focus for various
sit-at-home mappers as well.

We are pleased to have Norfolk CC as a customer for whom we are
producing public transport publicity information and I think we could
persuade them to use OSM if it was of a consistently high standard
across the county.

We have been doing some armchair work (or actually office-chair work)
in Norfolk ourselves over the past month and I also made a
presentation on OSM at a recent ReWireed Norfolk event which was well
received.

If anyone did fancy organising a mapping party at some suitable
location in Norfolk during the summer then ITO would be happy to
supply drinks, pizzas etc to keep people's energy levels up!
