I'll be at Wikimania too, and suppose I'm responsible for helping organize our talks into panel/session on OSM. Ævar can talk about OSM specific stuff, and Christian can talk about integratings POIs and other geodata stuff from DBpedia.

I would talk about possibilities for integrating other thematic map types (w/o full zoom/pan options and all the tiles), pulling in data from http://www.data.gov and other such sources. Custom map types might be suited at first for the toolserver.

We also might do a workshop on how OSM works and how people can contribute to OSM. I was thinking possibly it could be a pre-conference workshop, the day before, but not totally sure when it would be. If we have enough time for the workshop and can get/borrow some GPS units, maybe we can go collect some data and then show people how to upload and process it, to get into OSM.

Hi all,

Another issue is to make sure Christian has MediaWiki svn commit access.
I'm not sure of the status on getting him access.

Did he mail the wikitech list with a request et al?

I mailed Brion off-list a while ago but I understand he's busy / queuing the requests ;)
We should probably decide on a wiki page to coordinate the remaining tasks currently listed at [1] - how about http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiMaps?
On a sidenote, my talks at Wikimania were accepted, so there's a goal to work towards.

Cheers,

Christian
