What : OpenStreetMap mapping party
Date : Sat 27 Sep & Sun 28 Sep (2008)
Where: Boston, MA and surrounding area

  OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/) is a Free Content,
crowd-sourced mapping project, and is very cool.  They run mapping
parties, which are events where anyone can help out.  Bring your GPS,
or they'll lend you one, and show you how to go out and do some
mapping, and then get the data in to the OpenStreetMap database.  They
have one coming up in Boston this weekend.  These are informal events,
with no explicit time commitment, and often a social element / beer
afterward.

* Saturday 27 September
   * 10 AM - Experienced mappers start
   * 10:30 AM - Introduction to OpenStreetMap for beginners
* Sunday  28 September
   * 11 AM - Experienced mappers start.
   * Sunday 11:30 Introduction to OpenStreetMap for beginners
