Last Saturday I took a train from Selhurst to Milton Keynes and started cycling back home. (At the moment you can get 15% off off-peak Southern tickets when you buy them at least 2 hours before travel, online.) I’d been thinking about doing that cycle since the Milton Keynes Mapping Party back in May last… Continue reading Cycling: Milton Keynes – Watford

OpenStreetMap Job Search Alert
As part of my recent job search I setup a few job alerts. One of which was with the keyword OpenStreetMap on CWJobs. I wasn’t expecting there to be anything coming up. Out of the blue a job alert did appear, and it sounds rather interesting, though I have just started a new job at… Continue reading OpenStreetMap Job Search Alert
GLLUG Mapping Party
Yesterday I presented to the Greater London Linux User Group (GLLUG) how to edit the OpenStreetMap data, with a short field trip. Apart from running a little late, I think it went fairly well with some good participation from the audience. Things I’d do better the next time include: preparing the slides more, particularly the… Continue reading GLLUG Mapping Party
Cycling: London to Dover via Margate and Ramsgate
Yesterday (Saturday) I done one of my rather large February cycles. I didn’t go quite as far as last year’s 150 mile cycle, though I still done more than the 70-100 miles I was anticipating doing. In total it was about 115 miles (the last 4 miles were from Bromley South station home). The total… Continue reading Cycling: London to Dover via Margate and Ramsgate
Review OpenStreetMap South Bank Meetup
Last Wednesday there was an OpenStreetMap meetup in London on the South Bank. In all there was 15 people there. It was an interesting evening because there was many new faces, most of whom were developers using OpenStreetMap data in some shape or form. Does anyone have ideas for central London pubs that we could go… Continue reading Review OpenStreetMap South Bank Meetup

London Critical Mass September 2008
On Friday I headed along to this Months Critical Mass. It was very strange that the Police weren’t there at all to do the corking of the junctions, and hold back any frustrated drivers. The two usual off-duty bike paramedics were there. It took a while for the mass to get used to the idea… Continue reading London Critical Mass September 2008
Last of the London Mapping Marathon Tomorrow
Tomorrow, will be the final installment of the Summer 2008 London Mapping Marathon. We will be moving to the Fortnightly Winter 2008-9 Random Pub Meetup. Each week will be a different pub in a potentially unmapped area, for those hard core mappers out there. I’m looking for suggestions on where we could go. On the… Continue reading Last of the London Mapping Marathon Tomorrow
Baker Street/Regents Park Mapping Party
This evening there will be a mapping party in the Baker Street/Regents Park area of London. I wonder if we will beat last week’s record 15 people at the Euston mapping party. Maybe we will even get a local paper publishing a small article about the event, like the Croydon Advertiser and the Croydon Guardian… Continue reading Baker Street/Regents Park Mapping Party
Back to the Start
The main aim of the next 3 mapping parties will be to enter points of interest, fix fixmes, and verify that the current data is correct, near to where OpenStreetMap originally started 4 years ago. Tomorrow is the 18th Mapping party of the London Mapping Marathon. It will be held around Euston Station, meeting up… Continue reading Back to the Start
