Southbank Meetup August 2009

This will be a friendly meetup of openstreetmappers in Brisbane, hopefully with a few interested newbies thrown into the mix.

When: 19:00 Friday 21st August 2009

Where: The Plough Inn, Southbank, South Brisbane

The Plan

19:00: Have steak and drinks, talk about OSM

20:30: Do a little mapping (for those interested)

No mapping required! But if you *want* to, there's plenty of things to add at Southbank:

building names
shops and restaurants in South Brisbane
footways in the Cultural Precinct
missing footways
missing amenities (water fountains, toilets, playgrounds, seats, shelters, etc.)

For people new to mapping, I'd (DavidDean) be happy to give a demo of some field mapping after we've had a nice steak and a few drinks!

If you want a printable map suitable for making notes on, you can get one from http://walking-papers.org/print.php?id=h54nggq4 .

Anybody is welcome. Please RSVP to David Dean using the contact details below, or just add your name here if you have the technology:
