It all depends on the GPS unit you have.  I use a PDA with built in GPS.

Take a look at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide as this is a
very large area on it's own.

Basically, you need a GPS receiver, a logging application and a method
of getting the data from the application onto a PC so the data can be
uploaded.  You may also have to convert the logged data to the correct
format (gpsbabel).

(Alex, can we get the slides for your talk online?)
