Hello,
tomorrow will be hardware maintenance for toolserver.
It will be between 11 am - 20 pm UTC.
Several hosts may be offline for a little while during this time - especially daphne (s4) and hyacinth (s3, s6 and s7).
They get some hardware replacements.
The OSM host ptolemy might go offline for new hardware, too.
Cheers
Marlen/nosy

Piggy-backing on bigger events is generally a good idea for small
hackfests with a good % of pure volunteers.
However, as for today the State of the Map conference doesn't even have
time/location defined, but it's quite certain that it will be in 2H
2013. Within the February-March time frame suggested by Erik there are
options like
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FOSDEM
Feb 2-3 @ Brussels (Belgium)
OSM got a booth en previous years. No idea about 2013 but FOSDEM is
anyway a good pole of attraction for all kind of FLOSS developers -
ourselves included. In fact we are trying to build critical mass around
this event - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/FOSDEM
Sadly there is no geolocation DevRoom but if both projects want to
organize something right before the event (e.g Friday, Feb 1st)...
Later than that other options could be
* http://whereconf.com/where2012 San Francisco, April 2-4.
* http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Linuxtag Berlin, May 22-25.
* http://wherecamp.de/ Berlin, probably June.
The OSM project has more events listed at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Events but there are no 2013 events
listed right now?
There is also http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conferences but most of
those events happen in 2H 2013.
What about a combo around FOSDEM and Where Conference, focusing each on
EU/US communities with a few privileged sponsored contributors able to
attend and connect both?
