[Wolves] FW: [OSM-talk] [Talk-GB] Birmingham mapping party - Radio Interview today

[Andy Robinson (blackadder)]

For those that haven’t heard either myself, Alex Wilmer or others talk about
OpenStreetMap before you can get a good flavour from the radio interview I
did this afternoon on BBC WM. The link to a 15min recording is below.

After this weekend is out of the way I want to talk about getting something
set up for mapping the Black Country area but also include a hack day for
those that really want to know more about the code and platform side of
things. Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers

Andy
