Mapitude
Mapitude started as an event and will continue as the focus of mapping and community activity for take21.
The day brought together web developers and people from the OpenStreetMap community; both mapping specialists and members of Mappa Mercia, the OpenStreetMap group for the Midlands. There was a programme of talks and a hackday running in parallel.
Several people wrote blog entries about the event. Stuart Harrison and Chris Taggart wrote explaining the process they used to map data at ward level.
