Hey guys. I just thought you'd like that we (the NetBeans GUI Builder  
team) showed Open Street Maps on stage at JavaOne in front of about  
 >200 people. We did a demo where we built a database application  
live on stage that combines famous sites in London with photos from  
WikiPedia and the JXMapKit running Open Street Maps. And we did the  
whole thing with a single line of actual code. Everything else was  
visually assembled in less that 5 minutes. I told the audience that  
we were using OSM which is "literally created by guys on bikes with  
GPS trackers. It's amazing".   Everyone was very impressed. Thanks  
guys and keep up the good work.
