Thanks for working on OpenStreetMap. Someone introduced me to it over the
summer. Cool project.

December is a somewhat sparse month for us. Our devel meeting on the 4th
has been cancelled.

The local Ubuntu group was going to do a release party on the 7th, but it
looks like that's out :(.

Please let us know where and when for these activities.

We might be able to get you in at UAT ( University of Advancing Technology
) in Tempe. What size crowd are you expecting?

If you have any locals working on the project please have them contact us.
We'd love a presentation for one of our meetings. We will also have a
Free Software conference sometime in the next six months somewhere outside
of Phoenix. Planning for that starts in the next couple of weeks :).

Interesting read on licensing for OSM for those of us who care.
