[YLUG] Mapping event, 2nd August

[Matthew Gates]

I've been looking at the OSM Mapping Party howto.

I think we should consider our planned mapping event to be a "test party".   
For a full-blown mapping party we need to be a bit more organised and 
announce the event further ahead of time and so on.  It seems like there 
are some loan GPS units available from the core OSM folks, although I don't 
know if we have enough time now to get hold of them.

For our event, I think we can do some ground work for a future event.  This 
includes:

+ Getting ourselves familiar with the mapping process.
+ Finding a decent venue for meeting up between mapping sessions.
+ Deciding how much is enough / too much mapping.

I have written up a list of mapping activities which we can do, many of 
which do not require a GPS.  I'll send that after this email.  Some of the 
activities are best done on the day, and some can be on-going things which 
you can try at your leisure - some you can do from home.
