OpenStreetMap- the online world map that's both free and Free

[Brandon Aguirre]

I'm in for all of that definitely... I'd be happy to come down for  
presentations. If there's interest and space, I will be available  
Friday Dec. 5 all afternoon for any presentations. I can also fly down  
other times and would be happy to do so.

As for the mapping party on the 6th & 7th, Alan Dayley has graciously  
connected me with the folks at Gangplank and they've expressed  
interest in hosting. I'm coordinating with them currently and will  
update the wiki, meetup and upcoming when it's nailed down
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Phoenix
http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Phoenix/
http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1382243/

If you do any booths at the conference or want presentations, I'd be  
happy to coordinate that as well.


Cheers,

Brandon Aguirre
