[Talk-us] OpenStreetMap outreach opportunity
Hi all, (Cross-posting to talk-us the *brand-spanking new* diversity-talk list... Yay.) I'm following up on our great discussion at #sotmus about diversity and, in this specific case, outreach/education to broaden the community base. I want to point out this upcoming National Youth Summit on Geospatial Technologies[1]. It looks like a fantastic opportunity to expose young mappers to the awesomeness that is OpenStreetMap...if we can get on the program. (I have no idea if the program is set, nor how tightly scripted it is.) Even if we can't participate, I'd like to draw attention to it as an example of the kinds of events we should look to for outreach and community development. Thoughts on next steps? Please discuss...

Organized by National 4-H? It's in DC area, so any of us in DC could help out. But how to connect to them? Wonder if this is an ESRI related thing? I'd expect to see their name on it if so. * Mikel Maron * +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron From: Steven Johnson sejohns...@gmail.com To: diversity-t...@openstreetmap.org; Open Street Map Talk-US talk-us@openstreetmap.org Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 3:25 PM Subject: [Talk-us] OpenStreetMap outreach opportunity Hi all, (Cross-posting to talk-us the *brand-spanking new* diversity-talk list...

Re: [Talk-us] OpenStreetMap outreach opportunity
I imagine we can just hit them up with an email to get on their radar. Any DC folks want to get involved in it? I can reach out to GeoDC channels to see if anyone else is attending or has a connection. On Jun 11, 2013, at 6:13 PM, Mikel Maron mikel_ma...@yahoo.com wrote: Organized by National 4-H?

Re: [Talk-us] OpenStreetMap outreach opportunity
I'd love to participate as well. Bonnie, if you reach out let us know what sort of next steps are needed. I'll also mention this at Monday's GeoNYC. Thanks for bringing this up as an idea! Best, Alyssa. On Jun 11, 2013, at 10:23 PM, Bonnie Bogle bon...@mapbox.com wrote: I imagine we can just hit them up with an email to get on their radar. Any DC folks want to get involved in it?
