Great, thanks Lane.
Peaceray has been in talks with the OSM people in Seattle.
Mako was asking about estimated attendance in case we decide to ask UW to
host a conference in 2016. The information in the Google doc about
estimated attendance (850 OSM plus at least 350 for WCONUSA) is helpful to
get a sense of scale. It sounds like we should estimate combined attendance
at about 1500, assuming some year-over-year attendance growth. Does that
sound right?
I've also asked Peaceray to consider reaching out to the SeaGL (Seattle
GNU/Linux Conference) people because they might also be interested in the
concept of a joint conference in Seattle. I'm not sure how active their
organizers are, but if we have a conference at UW then I think they might
be interested in joining up with us.

Hello,
I attended the United States National Open Street Map conference, State of
the Map, in New York last weekend. There were about 8 OSMers from Seattle
there, and I met with them.
They had proposed hosting their conference in Seattle next year, and I
thought also that the Wikipedia community might like a conference in
Seattle next year, and I was wondering if Open Street Map and Wikipedia
might co-host a conference next year.
I started collecting some ideas in a Google Doc.
