Calling all Wikimedians or Mappers in Scotland - there is an opportunity for us to join the State of the Map unconference style event on 11-12 October 2013 in Edinburgh.

Please see the message below for some detail. If you will speak at the event and are based in Scotland but not Edinburgh we may be able to support with expenses. 

Regards, 
Daria

Hi, 
We have not had a speaker from Wikipedia before, I have heard that there is a bit of a move by wikipedia to use more of our maps, 

If you go to the Wikipedia page on Edinburgh and click on the mapping coordinates on the top right hand side it will take you to the maps section.

Our conference is not only about maps so if you could give us some insight into Wikipedia that would be really good. We usually have 20mins with 10 mins for questions. Since the event is free you can also use it to connect to your base too.

I have offered that Wikipedia can share our meetings with us. We have a social every 3 months in the pub.

Cheers bob

Thanks! Well, I was going to promote within the Wikimedia community in Scotland, if you think there are any natural synergies there let me know.

Hi the event page is


we are looking for anyone who would like to come along and give a talk about something related to GIS and Openstreetmap. All are welcome. The talks can be between 15 or 30 minutes. They may be presentations or discussions. We will generally have businesses/organisations on the Friday and Openstreetmap community on Saturday. We also have a hackday on Sunday.

Did you have something in mind

Cheers

Bob
