Currently organising the Lima Mapping Weekend for OpenStreetMap in August 2010. I think it will be Latin America’s first OSM mapping event, but that could be sheer hubris.

If you find yourself in the vicinity of Lima or Peru, please come along to Plaza San Miguel on Saturday 21 August. We’re planning to map the district of Pueblo Libre, but of course it’s up to you where you’d like to map! Even though GPS devices are useful, owning one is not essential, and you can easily get involved with sketch maps – one of the best ways to trace lines, roads and points of interest is to use ‘Walking Papers’ which allows you to print OSM coverage of a particular area.

More details to be posted soon, including una version en espanol!
