Fwd: [opensource-107] Bid to host the 2015 State Of The Map-US Conference
by Raymond Leonard 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Cascadia Wikimedians, If any of you collaborate with, or have an interest in working with, OpenStreetMap, this may interest you. OpenStreetMap Seattle will make a bid for the 2015 OpenStreetMap SOTM-US conference. If you want to help with the bid, you can find the meetup group at http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Seattle/ or contact Clifford Snow. In comments for the last Seattle WP:Meetup for August '14, *Blue Rasberry* wrote that there was hope that in 2-3 years there could be a meta:WikiConference USA <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_USA> in Seattle or Portland. If any of us are so inclined, perhaps assisting for this bid for the 2015 OpenStreetMap SOTM-US conference, & then the subsequent preparation should the bid succeed, would help prepare us in our efforts to bring WikiConference USA to Cascadia. Peaceray ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Clifford Snow <clifford(a)snowandsnow.us> Date: Thu, Aug 21, 2014 at 2:39 PM Subject: [opensource-107] Bid to host the 2015 State Of The Map-US Conference To: opensource-107-announce(a)meetup.com We are going to prepare a bid to host the 2015 OpenStreetMap SOTM-US conference here. The request for bids will be made by the US chapter in late September and due by mid November. Everyone's help will be needed to craft a winning bid. I've only attended two SOTM-US conferences, but really enjoyed both. The conference runs two days over a weekend, plus usually a code sprint day and another day for workshops.The cost for last years conference in San Francisco was only around $80 so much more affordable. And they have the usual scholarships. They have tentatively plan to hold the conference Mid April. For us the weather is a concern. On the bright side (like that ever happens in April) costs should be better. I believe we can make a case for holding it in the summer, but I'd like to hear everyone thoughts. As the local host we are responsible for: - initial bid - identifying venues - building an initial budget - getting deals with hotels & caterers - finding party locations for social events - The bulk of practical preparation and organizing on the ground; volunteers, venue, and social events We are not responsible for fundraising, program, sponsors, registration, PR, video recording or website. If there are areas we think the Chapter should handle we can push back. As and old friend said, this is all cast in jello. By now you are probably wondering what a winning bid looks like. Take a look at Portland for 2012 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_U.S._2012/BIDS/Portland>. Looking at Portland Bid, here are the areas we can divide up to tackle the bid as a group. - Good writers to craft the wiki - Describe the city - OpenStreetMap and Open Source GIS in Seattle - Entertainment/tourist activities - Organizing Team - Venue - Travel Costs - Public Transportation in Seattle (Can we get a deal from Car2Go?) - Budget What I'm looking for from you to let me know which area you'd like to work on. Some of you might be going to FOSS4G in Portland (I'm so jealous) hopefully you'll have a chance to talk to the organizers to get a feel for what we should be doing to make a successful conference.
