Fair enough. I suggest that we plan ahead for an "official" Birthday week around Thursday, 09 August *2012*, and go with 20 August this year to allow more planning time. I made a wiki page for this yesterday because I am impatient and love to throw parties. ;-) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap_7th_Anniversary_Birthday_party Toronto is already on the list. Feel free to a) join us here, or b) throw your own local OSM Birthday bash. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Well let mine be the next :) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/History suggests either 9th August (anniversary of domain name being registered) or 20th August (Steve's presentation at EuroFOO) are worthy candidates. As presumably though the idea predated registering the domain name, I'd argue that the 9th August would be the obvious choice of something to base anniversaries on.
