At the 26th and 27th August the first State of the Map Scotland http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_Scotland_2011, the conference for all things OpenStreetmap, is happening in the same building at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, so there will be a chance to keep working on projects throughout the two following days.
The GECO programme brings together geospatial projects in and around the research community in the UK. If you'd like to discuss open mapping issues with others in the research community, please subscribe to the GECO mailing list, https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/JISC-GECO
