Hi Everyone, I hope you're all enjoying your Independence Day celebrations! I'm thinking toward another upcoming anniversary-- OpenStreetMap's 9th birthday! I know that folks are planning various celebrations in cities around the world, and I thought that it might be a good idea to plan a Birthday Sprint to continue the work from the SOTMUS Sprint Days.
So, I propose that on the weekend of August 10-11 we hold a remote Birthday Sprint on any and all OSM projects. What this means is that whoever has a project they are working on can rally their community to do a dedicated push over those two days. I'm thinking MapRoulette, new osm.org features, iD updates-- whatever. Then, we just do it! If people want to host in-person sprint day events, that's fantastic, but even though being in the same room is vastly beneficial, it's not always feasible on a project like this, so the assumption is that this will be a predominantly remote event. It's been great to see all of the enthusiasm and momentum coming out of SOTMUS, so let's keep that going with the Birthday Sprint! Cheers, Kathleen
