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

When: 19:00 Friday 3rd July 2009

Where: Pizza Caffe, University of Queensland, St Lucia

The Plan

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

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

21:15/21:45/22:15/22:45: Catch the city cat to #BTUB

The Map

No mapping required! But if you *want* to, there's plenty of things to add on the UQ campus:

  • missing road names
  • building names
  • amenities (like where exactly is the pizza caffe?)
  • sporting facilities
  • foot and cycleways

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

If you want a printable map suitable for making notes on, you can get one from http://walking-papers.org/print.php?id=csnr6gdq .
