For Wikimedia folks who are interested in possible collaborations with OSM,
now seems like a good time to start thinking about possible presentations.
Staff from the Wikimedia Foundation, and/or Wikimedia volunteers from
around the US outside of the Seattle area, may want to start thinking about
travel plans.
For Wikimedia volunteers outside of Cascadia Wikimedians territory, you
might consider applying for WMF Travel and Participation Support grants [1].
If you're inside of Cascadia Wikimedians territory and would like to attend
the conference, we may have funds in our budget that can support your
attendance. Contact me off-list for details.
Regards,
Pine

Subject: [opensource-107] Seattle to host the 2016 OpenStreetMap State of
the Map US Conference
To: opensource-107-announce(a)meetup.com
I am excited to announce that Seattle was chosen to host the OpenStreetMap
2016 State of the Map US Conference. The conference will take place July
23-25 on SeattleU's campus. We chose SeattleU for their low cost, proximity
to Seattle and access to public transit. The food trucks near by didn't
hurt either.
We are looking for help! Let us know if you want to help. Request for
presentation proposals should be coming fairly soon. Start thinking about
what you want to present or teach.
The formal announcement can be found at:
