Hi,

This years State of the map Scotland is a slightly different affair than
last years due to a larger venue.

We are splitting both days into two, morning and afternoon. In the
afternoon we are requesting speakers from other GIS or professional
organisations to come in and speak about their work with maps. These talks
do not have to be about Openstreetmap or free data but it would be good if
there was some connection. This will allow us to use the conference as a
meeting of minds between volunteer mappers and professional groups. We have
16 30 minute slots available in the two days and two conference rooms. This
will be the formal side of the conference, The mornings will be reserved
for Openstreetmappers in the non conference format.

Details of the Conference here

If anyone knows of any groups that would like to speak please let me know.

We are also looking for some small sponsorship to pay for Edinburgh
University Staff who are needed to let us in.

Cheers

Bob Kerr
