Brighton Workshop 2006
The Brighton Workshop was a past event which took place in Brighton on September 9th 2006.
This was the day before dConstruct, a one day Web 2.0-ish development conference. The idea was to introduce some of the bleeding edge web developers to OpenStreetMap, as well as get locals and old-OSM-hands involved in collaboratively mapping Brighton.
