OSM is very lacking for Caceres, luckily we should have at least one mapper
arriving early, with a GPS. Yahoo imagery doesn't have enough resolution over
there, and I think OpenAerialMap doesn't, either. Also I expect many in
DebCamp to have GPSs and carry them around, so by DebConf proper the map
should be in pretty good shape.
