The final details have been set for this week's meeting. Apologies for the short notice; I had intended to get this sorted out last week but other commitments prevented that.

The event will be split up into four parts:

=== Friday 8th December: Social ===

* 6pm onwards * Far From the Madding Crowd[0] * Food served until 9pm * Non-smoking area reserved (find us there; turn left on entering the pub)

=== Saturday 9th December: Hackfest ===

* 10am-5pm * Dom's house (Email Dom for location information) * Pizza delivery lunch?

=== Saturday 9th December: BBC Backstage ===

* 6:30pm - 1am * BBC Backstage Bash [1], [2] * You need to already be signed up to the guest list * Some of us will be catching the Oxford_Tube [3] to and from Oxford/the hack fest

=== Sunday 10th December: OpenStreetMap event ===

* 10.30am-3pm * Meet at Coffee Republic [4] * Meet OpenGuides/OpenStreetMap people, see demos of OSM maps and software, and go out to perfect our maps of Oxford [5] * There is a chance we will need to leave early; if we're not there, please ring Dominic (number below). * If you would like to come and map, the earlier the better!

== Contact ==

The main point of contact for the weekend is Dominic Hargreaves dom@earth.li on 07976 569915.

Please spread information about these events (particularly the Sunday session, best-suited to those who aren't already involved) far and wide. There is an upcoming.org entry [6] suited to this.

Cheers,

Dominic.
