Hi

I sent this out to the Open Street Map mailing list yesterday but I  
thought the people on here might be interested too. There's also an  
upcoming page that you can use to show you're attending if you don't  
have an account on the OSM wiki:

http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/286009/

If you're interested in getting involved in the Open Street Map  
project but don't know where to start, then a mapping party is  
usually a good way to find out. I'll be doing a short intro/refresher  
at the Liverpool GeekUp at the end of this month too if you're  
interested (can't make the Manchester GeekUp again this month though).

Anyway, more details in the original email:
