Hi,
OpenGlasgow are working with Shawlands academy
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/55.83064/-4.28332
I have just been teaching the teachers how to use Openstreetmap. They are forming a project where they get the pupils to explore their community.
It has just started but they have funding etc and should be finnished by the summer, I shall forward the details of the conference to them.
I would be willing to join up for some Glasgow mapping.
Cheers
Bob

Hi Steve,
I'll spread the word locally with the OSM community
about SoC event in Glasgow and see if anyone can give a
presentation.
I like to think a lot of the map data is 'hidden' in
Glasgow. What we miss in buildings etc we make up for in bus
routes, cycle parking and 3D tags :-P
But yes, a mapping party is always appreciated! There's
a fair few notes on the map just around the university which
could make a nice break for attendees to look at?
But if you want to pick an area and go map - that would be
great. Put it on the wiki and get the local mappers can
support.
BTW There is a Glasgow OSM meetup is on the 18th
August:

Thanks,
Tim
