Hi Florian,

Welcome to the Mappa Mercia community! And thank you for taking the time to
introduce yourself.

We have a Twitter account, which I manage:

   @mappamercia


The UK has some accessibility mapping projects like this one in which I'm
involved:

   http://www.toiletmap.co.uk/

Coventry also has an active Wikipedia community, with regular meets and
museum collaborations. For example, their next event (sadly before your
arrival) is:

I hope you enjoy your time in the West Midlands and look forward to meeting
you,
