[Foss4g2009] Re: [Aust-NZ] Open Street Map party at foss4g?

If we do set up an OSM party, I reckon there is a good chance I could 
get a feature story in one of the major Sydney newspapers, like the 
Sydney Morning Herald, which in turn should attract a lot of local 
participants.

Has there been an OSM party in Sydney before? If not, this should make a 
news article easier to sell to the newspaper.
