[OSM-talk] Mapping weekend in southern Sweden

[Lars Aronsson]

Here's a reminder that I'm trying to get together a mapping 
weekend in Växjö, Sweden, two weeks from now.  This will be the 
*first ever* OpenStreetMap mapping weekend outside of Britain.

However, so far it looks like becoming a disaster, as only me and 
one more person have signed up.

Note that even though Sweden is 1590 km long, Växjö is not a 
remote location, only 56°52′N.  You can leave Copenhagen by train 
at 16:03 on Friday and be in Växjö at 18:38.  If you leave 
Stockholm by train at 15:20, you arrive at 18:54.  Bus 836 from 
Swebusexpress.se leaves Gothenburg at 15:20 and arrives at 19:15.  
I'm aiming for a meetup downtown at 19:30 on Friday evening.  A 
train from Berlin Hbf at 12:21 Friday lunch is in Växjö at 23:40.

Everybody pays their own costs and makes their own reservations.  
We're staying at a youth hostel and everything is kept at a very 
affordable level.

Be warned that the 2nd ever OSM mapping weekend outside of Britain 
will be much further north in Sweden, at 59°37′N.  That location 
caters to visitors from Finland and Norway rather than Denmark.
