>concentrating on collecting and presenting the data rather than
>shipping it out to the wider world; addressing uses of the data could
>increase the potential audience severalfold.

>A few specific topics/workshops under this theme could include:

>- Getting the data into a format you can use
>- Route-planning with OSM data
>- Licence musts, must nots and myths - what CC-SA means for your map/mashup
>- Mapstraction?
>
>and, of course, all the cartography stuff could fall under this theme, too.

>It might be interesting to run with this and have a challenge of

>Let's get Tony Wilson as a guest speaker. Or maybe Shaun Ryder. ;)
