Springfield comes in at #5 in the popular city names, if my frantic grepping of the TIGER database is correct. More useful for distributed function space availability would be ranking by population of the low quartile, not strict count. I don't know off-hand which is the largest Franklin, but real competition is for smallest. Both N.E. Franklin's are fairly small (8k and 30k pop). I'll be driving near Franklin MA today; it's a speedtrap between the Wrentham Premium Outlets Mall and the suburb of Milford whose greatest export is soccer-mom T-shirts. Probably has a wedding reception banquet hall we could use, but getting bandwidth and A-V for a distributed event would be a challenge without renting the big-dish-truck. (Yes i know All Springfields was likely a joke. I wish it were true. Mary Kay cosmetics has done distributed annual meetings for years, why are we techies traveling? Oh, right, microbrews.) -- Bill @n1vux bill.n1...@gmail.com ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

Thanks for clarifying that, Bill. Yes, it is Portland, Ore. After a year in the US, I know where most of the 50 states are, but I am still learning about the various Portlands, Springfields, Manchesters etc. Please bear with me as I assimilate.

Springfield is on the radar for SOTM US 2013. The first massively distributed SOTM.
