[OSM-talk] Intro to OSM in Hamilton Ontario

[Interlug]

Hi all,

There will be an "Intro to OSM" presentation at HOSUG next week.  Posted
here on the off-chance that others in Southern Ontario might be interested.
The user group annonuncement is quoted below.

This is an email from 'HOSUG - The Hamilton Open Source Users Group'

We've got a great lineup for you at the next HOSUG meeting on Tuesday,
December 12th from 7:00pm - 10:00pm.  Once again we're in the Variety Room,
next door to the Staircase Cafe Theatre -- see the website for directions
and parking details.

Richard will introduce us to the awesome Open Source geographic data project
called "Open Street Map", which he describes as "a project aimed squarely at
creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone
who wants them; the project was started because most maps you think of as
free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding
back people  from using them in creative, productive or unexpected
ways."  He plans to demo the steps in collecting, categorizing and
contributing data to OSM.

Stephen will talk about wireless networking with a focus on HostAP.  If we
encourage him, Stevo says he will even perform a live cracking of a wireless
connection!

See you on Tuesday night!
