Southbank Meetup August 2009

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)
The Map
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 .
