Hi All, The HOT community has grown tremendously over the past few years. We have sometimes had HOT meet-ups and sessions at other events, but never our own gathering. Next year in collaboration we are going to have a HOT Summit in Washington DC hosted at the American Red Cross on 30th April -2nd May 2015.
The idea of the HOT Summit is to bring together remote mappers, activation coordinators, local mappers, volunteers, partners and others working with OSM for humanitarian and crisis related uses. This will be a time for workshops, talks and an opportunity to meet each other in person. We are anticipating hosting 100 people this year and are budgeting to provide at least 20 needs based scholarships (for both remote volunteers and local mappers). Are you interested in helping coordinate? Or maybe you know a good potential sponsor? Let me know! We will be announcing more in the coming weeks!
