[Talk-us] Open Source maps and Community Mapping in Seattle this Weekend!

[Brandon Aguirre]

This is a last-minute announcement!

Do you have an interest in open source technology and a free online  
mapping resource that gives you unrestricted access to geographic data  
for research and analysis???? Come join me and hear about  
OpenStreetMap and how you can get  started mapping your favorite  
places today!

I'll be at Online Coffee Company on 14th and Pine Saturday the 15th  
and Sunday the 16th to talk about OpenStreetMap and how you can get  
involved with mapping your communities, bikeways, hiking trails, park  
paths, hidden gems and other points of interest using OpenStreetMap.

I can loan you a GPS for the day and you can go out mapping, then I'll  
show you how to load it onto OSM!

Check our wiki for the details and let me know you are coming either  
on upcoming.yahoo.com or meetup.com...

If you are tired of online maps that seem more like pictures of paper  
maps than real resources... you'll love OpenStreetMap!
