Folks,

Below is some more information about the OpenStreetMap's formal call for bids, As per my earlier forward, OpenStreetMap Seattle is planning to make a bid. If you are interested, I would follow Clifford's suggestion to get an id on wiki.openstreetmap.org . I plan to participate in that process, but I will need to delay until later in Labor Day week due to visitors.

The next Seattle OpenStreetMap event is an Mapping-what-you-kn­ow Party, http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Seattle/events/202744832/, on Saturday, 2014-09-06 @11:00am. As the co-organizer noted, "Clifford is planning a Seattle bid for the 2015 State-of-the-Map US Conference. With the number of active FOSS/GIS people in this area, we could pull this off. We'll be discussing it, so bring your ideas!"

The formal call for bids from the US Chapter of OSM was just announced. You can read it at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_U.S._2015 I'll create an rough outline of our bid on the wiki. Once it's done I'll get a note out to everyone. Please feel free to get a id on wiki.openstreetmap.org to be able to help edit our bid.

Thanks, Clifford
