Fwd: {GeoNerds DC} Celebrate OSM's 9th Birthday this Saturday at MapBox!

[Elliott Plack]

I'm going to attend this event in DC. If you haven't participated in any OSM events. This is an "editathon" style event.

Cheers,

Elliott

This weekend mappers around the world are celebrating OpenStreetMap's 9th birthday! Mikel Maron and I have been hard at work pulling together a Birthday Sprint for the occasion.

Here in DC, MapBox has graciously offered to host us, so we'll be hanging out at the MapBox garage this Saturday from 12p-6p to hack on all things OSM! This will be a great time to work on that neat OSM tool you've been building as well as a time for newcomers to learn what this whole OSM thing is all about anyway.

Bring your laptops, bring snacks, and bring your enthusiasm, and help us celebrate OSM's 9th birthday in style!

See you there!

OSM-DC folks-- For those of you who haven't been following the disparate threads, we're going to be meeting next Saturday, August 10th, from 12-6pm @ the MapBox garage to get our sprint on! 

People will be working on all kinds of projects, like the DC Building Import and the HOT cross-site toolbar. We'll also be having a mapping party for those of you who just want to map some things!

You are encouraged to bring a laptop, mouse (if you want), and snacks to help feed the hungry sprinters. 

After we're done sprinting we're going to head to a local bar (Standard, perhaps?) to toast OSM's 9th birthday! If you can't join us for the sprint but still want to celebrate, watch Twitter where we'll announce when and where we decide to go. 

Send questions to me, Mikel, or Alex Barth. 

See you next Saturday!

As you all know, in honor of OpenStreetMap's 9th birthday, we are holding a Birthday Sprint next weekend, August 10th - 11th. Since we can't all be in the same room (this time), this will be a distributed code sprint, so you won't even need to get off the couch! All you'll need to do is get online, and all you'll need to bring is your enthusiasm!

Whoever has an OSM project they are working on is invited to rally their communities to do a dedicated push over those two days. We already have a LOT of great projects signed up, so if you want to help, but don't know where to get started, check out our projects page, where you can find contact info, code repositories, discussion lists and more. 

We're working to identify tasks for non-developers as well, so keep checking back as we get closer to the date of the sprint if you don't see anything you feel comfortable contributing to just yet. 

These are the projects that are signed up so far:

• OSM Groups
• HOT Website updates
• HOT cross-site toolbar
• Complete iD integration into tasking server
• WikiMaps
• Historical OSM
• Hashtag Aggregation
• Social Feature Planning (UX workshop)
• DC Building Import

We're excited about all of the enthusiasm that we've heard so far, but this list isn't done yet! If you've got a project you'd like to add feel free to hit me up, or fork the github page. All we ask is that someone take ownership for the sprint, you provide a place where contributors can find tasks and ongoing discussion, and bring a lot of enthusiasm!

Finally, even though this is a distributed code sprint, there are a few in-person events popping up (in DC, SF, and Salt Lake City). Find details here, and let us know if you're planning an in-person event too!
