[foss4g2014] Newbie to FOSS4G, Oldbie to mapping

[David Fawcett]

Hi Margie,

I am looking forward to the conference too!

Jason Sanford put together a map for the conference.  You can find it
here:  http://jasonsanford.github.io/foss4g-map/  It looks good in a mobile
browser.

I have contributed some points to it, and have a pull request out there to
add some more food and drink places.  Of course, in OSM terms, I am an
"armchair mapper".  It would be great to have some good POIs added by
people with local knowledge.  You can just clone his repo, add the features
to the things.json file and submit a pull request.

Before you add any breweries in the area, you may want to look at my
instance of the repo or the pending pull request so you don't end up
duplicating.  https://github.com/JasonSanford/foss4g-map/pull/3

David.
