Come to Bradford, West Yorks, tomorrow for OpenStreetMap’s first ever Mapping Pub Crawl, courtesy of the West Yorkshire Linux User Group. It will be very casual, and informal, no GPS needed. From the email:
We will rendevous at the following locations and times:
6.00 p.m. ‘The Cock and Bottle’ BD3 9AA
7.00 p.m. ‘The Beehive’ BD1 3AA
8.00 p.m. ‘The Fighting Cock’ BD7 1JE
The idea is to plug a hole the map, and get fairly inebriated at the
same time.It’s entirely informal, with no planning and no expectations.
See you there!
WYLUG seems to have been bitten by the Open mapping bug, recently, they had a very good presentation and talk about OSM, then they organised a micro mapping party last Sunday for Leeds. Eight enthusiastic folks turned up, myself included, and I helped map the famous Jimmy’s Hospital, and the area towards town, see it on the map (when it recovers from the ongoing slashdotting!), now Bradford, which is disgracefully empty in coverage, hence no links to the pubs. Wonder if any of my mapping ex-colleagues from the Council will come…

Only just seen this and I’ve already got plans for tonight so er, no, I’ll foward to others in the team.
Aww, another time, perhaps. Bradford should still have loads of unmapped areas after tomorrow 🙂 .. but maybe not for long?
Speaking of which can we have our GPS unit back?
of course!
