June or July is good for me, but so is May.  The last full week of a
month is best for me as I have them booked off work for the
foreseeable future.

Purely social.  I don't want to put anyone off coming because they fear
being expected to be useful.

We can - but I'd advise against it as it's not been very effective in
the past.

Something along the lines of a pubmeet.  Just the people who have
OpenGuides-love in common, meeting up for some nice food and/or nice
beer, and a chance to catch up with OpenGuiders you've not seen in a
while.

Yes - because London.pm people have been quite enthusiastic about RGL
recently.

Possibly - though are there any OSM people who're interested in OpenGuides
who won't already be on the og dev list?

Why Multimap and not other mapping companies?

Possibly - see OSM comment.

Who?
