Upcoming: London Geeks Events http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/214/ Events feed for the London Geeks Group on Upcoming. Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:49:51 -0700 Upcoming 60 en-us Jan 12, 2010: OpenStreetMap winter pub meet-up at The Red Lion OpenStreetMap is a not-for-profit massive internet collaboration rather like wikipedia, but for maps. 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...

Unconferences are about knowledge sharing – a group of enthusiastic people gather to share their knowledge about technology and anything else they are interested in. They do this by attending presentations given by other attendees – and giving presentations themselves, of course.

Everyone is encouraged to give a session or participate in whatever way they can. There’ll be other fun stuff happening too – including, quite possibly, a climbing wall.

The tickets went on general release at 12 noon GMT on 1 Dec 2009 and are available on a first come, first served basis. To be sure you don’t miss out, please reserve your ticket/s from http://pcl.eventbrite.com/

UPDATE!
With two weeks to go before this event, most of the available tickets have been snapped-up. To avoid disappointment, reserve your ticket/s NOW from http://pcl.eventbrite.com/
