Hello NYLUG

I'm Steve Coast and I started something called openstreetmap.org -
think wikipedia for maps.

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap

I'm running a mapping party on 28/29th June in NYC

	http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/New_York_City

which is an event where volunteers use GPS and other things to help
complete the map. A bit like an installfest I guess.

Please of course feel free to forward on the above links.

Best

Steve
