Hello,<br><br>My name is Nick and I am involved with OpenStreetMap (OSM)- the collaborative project that is creating free maps of the world. We are holding a mapping party in Canterbury on the 12th - 13th May, during which we will map as many of Kent's roads and footpaths as possible in a weekend. There's more information about the event on our wiki:

We have GPS units that we can lend out to people and there will be OSM volunteers on hand to show people how our software works and answer any questions you might have about open geo-data. Aside from that, we'll be meeting on Saturday night in a Canterbury pub - its always great to meet other open source people - so if any of you want to drop in you are all welcome.
<br><br>Thanks for your time,<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Nick Black<br>--------------------------------<br><br>
