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 presentation will show the current state of OpenStreetMap, demonstrate some of the OSM tools and discuss how you can take advantage of OSM and participate in extending it.

The sample image is taken from the The OpenStreetMap Wiki, Image of the Week for 27th of October 2007.

Marko and Gary will discuss and demonstrate some cool games and gaming solutions under GNU/Linux.

The open source project I spoke briefly about is called SIMPL. The main project site is at:

http://users.netrover.com/~ican/simpl

From that site you can link through to the Sourceforge site for SIMPL as well. Looks like I've volunteered to give a talk on the SIMPL open source project in the May meeting.

I also spoke about my nofee online courses. You can find more info at:

The network appliance which was discussed is produced by a local Kitchener company. Their URL is:
