Re: [Talk-GB] SotM 2013
What's the youngest mapper to go to SotM? I did a bit of mass-messaging yesterday (under the guise of informing about SotM, but also as an excuse to get chatting to mappers in the North East). I didn't expect to get this rather cool reply. I would be thrilled if the OSM conference came to the UK, and even better if it came to Durham! I wouldn't have even thought of Durham, but its such a nice place. At my age (15) its very difficult to travel, or even afford to travel to some of the places it has been held... Thanks to the people adding to the wiki page on SotM13/UK. If you missed it, there is the addition of a Birmingham Bid forming and they have a very strong local community and team for the conference. I'd have liked to see the breath of the UK pulled together a bit more for a conference, but I'm starting to think with such a strong effort from Birmingham, we should focus on supporting that. Any thoughts? Greg.

I work within walking distance and could act as venue liaison. Coventry isn't far from Nottingham which will host FOSS4G. Takes just over an hour on the train from London and is in the centre of the motorway network too. Traditionally SOTMs have been run by us, the volunteers, versus professional organizers. (In comparison the larger FOSS4G is run by professionals). I think this keeps costs down and in my opinion makes it a more friendly affair. I'm not sure if this is set in stone, but I think we should be prepared to run everything ourselves. Also, you should factor this in when talking with spaces - some purpose built conference venues are not used to people running things themselves (including food etc).

Agree on that too, a UK bid needs to be close in time to FOSS4G. Preferably just before it - many UK universities start their autumn term in the last week of September and so wouldn't be available to host a residential conference. I am willing to help too. I have helped organise both a professional (IT) conference and a community convention before. Liaising with the venue alone can consume an entire volunteer's time. IMO it's essential to pick a venue where at least one of the team is close enough to visit it as often as required. Just to throw another venue idea into the mix, how about Warwick University?

Before too long it'll be time for OSMF to start soliciting bids to host the State of the Map conference next year. This year was of course Tokyo, and last year Denver. So it might seem sensible that it returns to Europe for 2013 - and we haven't had a UK SotM since the first one (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_2007). The open source GIS conference, FOSS4G, is also coming to the UK next year - to Nottingham in September. Perhaps some of you might like to start thinking about organising a bid? Lots of potential in the country where OSM was founded and which, in coverage terms, is only rivalled by Germany.
