Hi all
The deadline for submitting talks for Wikimania as tomorrow, April 15. http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Participation
I think it would be great to hear about OSM integration there, a lot of people are interested in that. I am submitting a panel session for the toolserver, so a short presentation could be part of that, but I think OSM deserves a full presentation.
Any takers? Or is there something planned already?

I might be going. After the Wikimania hacking days Brion sent me this:
Just a quick reminder note -- we talked a little about you possibly doing a presentation on the OSM integration at State of the Map if we can get travel funding; Patricio on the Wikimania committee also wanted me to make sure we've got someone available to do a presentation at Wikimania.
So Wikimania is (at least informally) interested in getting someone to SOTM and Wikimania to discuss this stuff. To that end I'm submitting a "Presentation (10–30 minute talks with discussion afterwards)" to Wikimania 2009. The goal of that presentation would be to present the work we're going to be doing up to Wikimania as coordinated & discussed on this list.
Aude will be there too as I understand it and was IIRC interested in doing some sort of presenting there too.

I've submitted a stub submission for a "Single Presentation" on the "Casual track":
= Title and Abstract
Title OpenStreetMap integration into Wikimedia projects
= Abstract
This talk will present the (as of April 2009) ongoing work to integrate OpenStreetMap maps into Wikimedia projects, see the relevant Wikimedia Techblog posting [http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2009/04/openstreetmap-maps-will-be-added-to-wi...]
By Wikimania 2009 this project should be at a much more mature stage, possibly being deployed on Wikimedia production servers already.
Aude will be there too as I understand it and was IIRC interested in doing some sort of presenting there too.
I submitted to present on future potential applications of wiki mapping, such as adding WorldWind or custom WMS map types.
We are also organizing a OSM short workshop (2 hours?) during the conference, and the Wikimania organizers are interested in holding a longer pre-conference workshop in conjunction with Wikimania Academy (teaches people how to contribute to Wikipedia). Ævar is willing to help with workshops, as is one of the local Argentinian OSMers, but there is more room for help with the workshops.
There is more space for people to give presentations on mapping topics. It would be good to have a couple sessions on mapping-related topics, since there is strong interest in the topic.

Awesome. :D
Make sure you submit yourself for the travel scholarships as well: http://wikimania2009.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships and we'll work anything else out as necessary.
