Next month is Wikimania, the annual global conference of the 
Wikimedia Foundation. This year on July 17-19 it takes place at 
the new library, Bibliotheca Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt, 
http://wikimania.org/

OpenStreetMap is an open content project that does not belong to 
the Wikimedia Foundation, but apart from that there are many 
similarities.  The interest for OSM is great within the Wikipedia 
community, and the conference covers all kinds of open content 
projects.

I'm going to the conference, but I'm not giving any presentation.  
Is anybody giving a presentation on OpenStreetMap at Wikimania?  
Is anybody else than me going to be there?  Are there any 
brochures that I can bring?

Should I bring my GPS and try to map parts of Alexandria?  Is that 
a safe hobby in Egypt?  Does anybody have any experience?
