It's been a while since we had a common conventional good old straightforward London pub meet-up, mainly because there's been all sorts of other awesomeness going on.

A bunch of OSMLondoners headed off to Brighton to do a big mapping session. Some new patches of buildings appearing there as a result, and lots of POIs. Here's some photos. Looks like fun. I'm not the best person to report on that, because I wasn't there...

Instead I went to the headquarters of MapAction, and joined in with one of their training weekends. I have lots to report back on from that, and thoughts on how MapAction and HOT should relate, so full blog post coming soon on that. Photos of tents etc to keep you going in the meantime.

Last week we had a #geomob meet-up. My photos also with descriptions and links. I hadn't realised beforehand, but Steven Feldman was presenting his OSMGB project there.

Last but certainly not least, we had a London Hack Weekend last weekend, which was a pretty big event.

Again I'm not the best person to describe what happened because I was very sad to have to miss most of it, but you can read some descriptions of the things which got hacked upon.

So for those London OSMers who are not burnt out by all of that...

Head to the pub NOW! We're in Mulberry Bush near Waterloo tonight for what will probably be a mellow drinking chill out session.... with MAPS.

(Oh and if you're interested in the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, join us for a chat on IRC a bit later on)
