Hi all, I brushed off the SOTM US wiki page so it reflects the current status (it was still at 'we chose Portland for a location!') https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_U.S._2012 There's a section 'who's going' where we can coordinate travel / hotel plans if necessary. Other than

Stephan Knauss: I had developed a JOSM plugin and a server backend to download very fast blocks of GPS data. I assumed it be a good companion to the overpass mirror of OSM data. And fetching GPS points from the API is sometimes slow as hell. But how do you deal with private and otherwise re

I agree with Robert completely. Also, running our own OSQA Help site gives us the flexibility to customize it to the special needs of OSM, even if that means modifying source code. That includes integration with OSM sites like the map, the wiki, bug tracking, etc. I'm standing up an OSQA site
