Mission
The beginnings of a manifesto (edit as you see fit):
- To provide a UK-specific focus for the OSGEO and to arrange UK meetings
- To help UK organisations discover the opportunity of open source geospatial tools
- To work towards a fully featured UK SDI
- To provide a starting point for people from the UK who are new to the Open Source Geospatial movement
- To provide a focus for lobbying for public access to UK Geodata
- To, maybe, one day, act as focal point for the UK organising the FOSS4G conference
Don't forget to sign the Inspire petition -and tell your friends too - you don't have to use geo-data to believe that publically funded work should be public property! http://petition.publicgeodata.org/

The UK-originated OpenGuides Open Source spatial wiki project is having a pub meetup and "hackfest" on the 8th-10th December also in Oxford - http://dev.openguides.org/wiki/OxfordMeetup2006
OpenStreetmap also have regular UK mapping parties in different cities and it could be a lot of fun to sync an OSGeo-UK meetup with an OSM mapping party
