DC GeoNerd Friends, 

Great news! 

The OpenStreetMap US team is happy to announce that the State of the Map US 2014 will take place here in Washington DC on April 12 and 13!

I'm excited about this location as it is a great place to showcase the growing adoption of OpenStreetMap among individual mappers, in government, non profits and businesses in the US and abroad. The city is easily accessible and many individual and institutional OpenStreetMap contributors are located nearby. In addition to bringing together the existing OpenStreetMap ecosystem we have great potential to capture audiences who might not have tried OpenStreetMap yet.

After all, we want to grow OpenStreetMap, in numbers and diversity.

Please find all details on our blog:

We will post a call for session proposals soon. Looking forward to your submissions and I hope to see you at the conference!

We'll also be looking for help in programming, but in particular we're going to be looking to the DC community for volunteers to help us out with on the ground stuff. More details will come out about that as needs emerge.

Cheers,

Kathleen Danielson
