OpenStreetMap
Got interested in OSM through Lug Radio Live.
Managed to locate some free software to put on my Treo 650 to log my travels, around the local area.
Now learning to use JOSM (its hard) but already made a few entries that appear correct.
So now when I am out and about the treo 650 and bluetooth gps unit are switched on with cotogps running.
Spending some of today trying to get JOSM running under ubuntu. As for gpsbabel not a chance as the command line side is too confusing and I have been unable to locate a gui for it. SO using gpsvisualizer to convert my pdb tracks to gpx files.
I really want to keep it all as free as i can.
Great project / organisation and i hope to keep contributing and also get better
cheers

On Ubuntu, you can install JOSM just by installing the josm package and a version of Java (e. g. sun-java6-jre). Works quite nicely here. :)
For gpsbabel, you could probably use a webinterface (http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/gpsbabel/) instead of the shell.
