This is a kind of wikipedia for maps - a free editable map of the world, and anyone can add roads, bike paths and other geographic data to it. What a useful resource!   We thought, let&#39;s participate, parties like this could also become a good way to get people involved in our forthcoming Open Green Map, the social mapping website for sustainable communities (preview at <a href="http://OpenGreenMap.org" title="http://OpenGreenMap.org">http://OpenGreenMap.org</a>).  So we are pleased to provide the venue for NYC&#39;s first open mapping party, hosted by OpenStreetMap&#39;s initiator, Steve Coast, at our global office this weekend!
