Hi all, pardon me for replying to the list rather than Kiana - I'm hoping I can offer something of interest to several.
I have dabbled in OSM but am more active in Wikimedia which as some know, is ever more interoperable with OSM. I'm one of the organisers of a major Wikimedia event <http://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/> in Cape Town in July and part of the event is a 5-day hackathon where we would encourage OSM community members to participate. Perhaps if there's enough response to Kiana's appeal we could have an OSM meetup on the fringes of Wikimania. Thanks, Michael.
