Volunteers are mapping all over the world\, and there's quite a few in London\, so... This is a social meet-up for anyone in London interested in OpenStreetMap\, and we love to have new people coming along. We like to meet with newbies\, mappers\, developers\, technologists\, innocent bystanders and all that's in between. Come and join us for beers and map-chat! We usually get between 5 and 15 people coming along (more than those signed up here) 7p.m. is the official start time\, but people arrive late and early. In the pub look out for people with GPS units/ maps\, an OpenStreetMap sign\, or someone wearing a white OpenStreetMap cap. Also make a note of this...
