[OSM-talk] Meetup in Stockholm and Gothenburg

[Mikel Maron]

I'd love to make it (I've been doing a bit of mapping up in Skelleftea when I'm visiting there with my wife), 
but will only be in Stockholm for a short time on the night of July 30th. Have fun!

Subject: [OSM-talk] Meetup in Stockholm and Gothenburg


After more than one year of Swedish activity in OpenStreetMap, 
most Swedish contributors have never met in real life.  I'm 
suggesting that we simply join the "wiki-fika" series of informal 
cafe meetings held by the Swedish wiki user community.

Since there is not (yet) any Swedish chapter of the Wikimedia 
Foundation, I took the initiative last year to organize a series 
of cafe meetings.  These "wiki-fika" have since been happening at 
irregular intervals in Linköping, Stockholm, and Lund, organized 
by different people.  They are not specific to Wikipedia, but 
users of susning.nu and other wikis are welcome too.  And since 
OSM is a map wiki, this makes a lot of sense.

Wiki-fika are announced at http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WT

Currently, two meetings are scheduled:

Sunday July 16, Stockholm,
Anders Reimers väg 8-10 (Reimers holme),
lat=59.319, lon=18.025
http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html?lat=59.319&lon=18.025&zoom=14
starting at 3 pm (15:00)
This is an all-evening grill party.  Bring your own food.

Saturday July 22, Gothenburg,
place and time not decided yet.

I think one or two OSM contributors can add a lot to any such 
meeting.  It's the right place to present OSM to people who are 
already into wikis.
