Open Street Map mapping party this weekend in San Francisco

While Mikel, Andrew and Schuyler are in Africa for Open Mapping Africa 2008, Steve Coast, the founder of Open Street Map, is back here in SF working tirelessly on OSM, CloudMade and setting up this weekend’s mapping party.  If you have never had the opportunity to hang out with some extremely capable developers, map a route with a GPS unit, or drink libations at the Hotel Utah I strongly recommend you follow this link to the who/what/where/when page and pencil in a couple of hours for this Saturday or Sunday.  Let them know if you plan on attending by heading over to Yahoo’s Upcoming and clicking in.
