IMHO you can tag it. If those meetings happen at the same pl
Richard,
I have to agree. Some problems aren't tagging problems, and there's
enough debate over tagging as it is.. Your suggestions are excellent
ones.
That said, if you'd really really want to tag this, you could find a
way. There's nothing against that, as long as it satisfies some basic

On the lecture hall point or building outline. I'm assuming here that
the lecture hall web site will list the event on an event schedule on
their schedule.
If that's not the case it becomes less obvious, but you could still
invent and propose a subtag (website:user for shared spaces for

Use that tag on *what*? It's not the website of the lecture hall or

In addition to being a mapper, I am the secretary of the Nashville Linux Users
Group. I have been debating whether the club's monthly meeting location should
be tagged in OSM, and, if so, what tag to use. The question arises because the

Martin,
"Ridge" IMO closest means "Kamm" in German.
