Hi all, We agreed at the last meeting to take up an exhibitors space at the SW regional ICT Hub conference in Taunton on March 7th. I think this would be an important opportunity to showcase our potential business services and meet client orgs from across the region. In theory it's free to exhibit - but the organisers want all attendees inc. Exhibitors to register as attendees. This does entitle you to attend any workshops and lunch. As exhibitors we can register for the discounted cost of ?14 per person. Obviously the organising of this is a "parcel" of work [unfortunately unpaid, unless someone can think of someway] to be divided and allocated at a Friday meeting, which inevitably I,m unable to attend. Also a lot of the work will need to be started next week and again unfortunately I'm away next week, although I will be able to help for the week after. So what we need to know first is how many people do we need and who wants to go? Who is going to organise a sorting out the ltsp suite and transporting it Taunton, and how much we are going to budget for it. Discuss. Sean p.s there is a flyer for the event here - http://www.voscur.org/system/files/SWEST_FIN.pdf _______________________________________________ Bristolwireless mailing list Bristolwireless@lists.psand.net http://lists.psand.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/bristolwireless From ben at bristolwireless.net Thu Feb 15 08:48:19 2007 From: ben at bristolwireless.net (Ben Green) Date: Wed Aug 27 22:18:07 2008 Subject: BW )(: SW Region ICT Hub Confernce In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Thu, 15 Feb 2007 15:29:16 -0000, sean wrote: > and how much we are going to budget for it.

Mapping streets and networks' OSM Bristol Mapping Weekend Press Release from OpenStreetMap.org 23/01/2007 On 24 and 25 February 2007, the OpenStreetMap team of volunteers will be adding Bristol to the global mapping revolution. Contributors to the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project are meeting in Bristol with the aim of completely mapping the streets and other major features of the city. Anyone wishing to take part in the mapping weekend are asked to meet at Watershed, 1 Canons Road, Bristol at 10.00 am on either or both days to collect GPS mapping units before going their separate ways to map the city for the rest of the day, with a brief get-together for lunch at convenient pubs. In addition, participants will also be contributing to gathering data for Connecting Bristol's Wi-Map project, which is currently mapping open wireless networks around the city. The OSM project was started in 2004 to enable anyone to use maps in creative, productive or unexpected ways. The use of traditional maps is hampered by legal and technical restrictions that severely curtail their use. The OSM project aims to create free geographical data, like street maps, that can be used anywhere by anyone. OSM contributors, will be driving, cycling, and wandering the city with GPS (Global Positioning System) units recording the routes of as many streets, cycleways and footpaths as possible. The tracks recorded over the weekend will be added to the online OpenStreetMap.org database where anyone in the world with access to the internet can browse, annotate, reference, edit and use the data in any way they want. Collaborative mapping is a rapidly growing activity and is being driven in part by technology (cheap GPS equipment and online collaboration tools such as OpenStreetMap.org). What makes such projects stand out is their knowledge production and ownership ethos. Under such open-source models the rights of authorship are decentralised and the knowledge gathered is seen as a common resource that can be distributed and re-used without restriction or licence. This approach has real potential to empower people to create their own knowledge and encourages re-use of cartographic resources in novel and creative ways. The map data produced over the weekend will contribute to OpenStreetMap.org, one of the leading projects in the open-source mapping field. Currently, OSM has mapped large portions of the country, including all the motorways and most primary roads. We hope that an intensive effort to build a map of the whole of a city in a weekend will inspire others and help to build momentum across the country. As an open organisation with no membership requirements, we welcome the participation of anyone, young or old, who will be in Bristol on the weekend of the 24 and 25 February. Anyone interested in taking part should contact Steve Coast (steve at asklater dot com) or Andy Robinson (andy at ukstreetwise dot com).
