Hi Cameron, following your hint I've just subscribed to the OSGeo FOSS4G LiveDVD list, and I'm going to begin the first "homework" (a project overview doc introducing OSM). I'm a sw programmer (R language), and lately I'm working on projects related to geospatial data processing. I'm a member of the OSM community and use several OSM-related tools, and I'm very interested to expand my knowledge about geospatial software; I think that helping here it's a good place to achieve my goal.
