Hello there, At the beginning that this discussion, I guessed it could turn sour rather quickly. Let's just say that, as a mere contributor, I would just not understand if NYC were attributed the SOTM 2015 whithout having submitting an official request that would be considered on the same

The board of OpenStreetMap US is happy to announce that the State of the Map US conference will be held in New York, NY at the United Nations June 6-8, 2015. We had two other very strong proposals for events in St. Louis and Seattle. Thanks to the groups that pulled those proposals together!
