 This upcoming Wednesday, November 5th, we're pleased to welcome Richard
 Weait to town for an Introduction to OpenStreetMap, a collaborative, open
 GIS data service.

   http://www.openstreetmap.org/

 From the site:

 "OpenStreetMap is a free editable map of the whole world. It is made by
 people like you.

 OpenStreetMap allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a
 collaborative way from anywhere on Earth."

 This will be followed by an (optional) Open Street Map party on
 Saturday the 8th, details of which will be discussed at the meeting:

 The meeting on Wednesday will take place from 7-9pm at:

       University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP)
       Griffith Hall C
       600 South 43rd Street
       Philadelphia, PA 19104-4495

 USP is located in University City.  Driving directions are
 available at <http://www.phillylinux.org/locations/usp.html>, or
 <http://www.usip.edu/directions/>, both of which have an aerial
 view of the campus buildings.  USP is also easily accessible by
 public transportation.

 There will be an open Question & Answer session at 7PM, prior to
 the main presentation at 8PM.  This is an open meeting; all are
 welcome, and encouraged to attend.

 Usually, a number of members get together after the meeting at a
 nearby restaurant for food and perhaps a beer or two. Come join the
 camaraderie!
