Hello all, This is just a little heads-up, nothing more.
Before too long it'll be time for OSMF to start soliciting bids to host the State of the Map conference next year.
This year was of course Tokyo, and last year Denver. So it might seem sensible that it returns to Europe for 2013 - and we haven't had a UK SotM since the first one (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_2007). The open source GIS conference, FOSS4G, is also coming to the UK next year - to Nottingham in September.
Perhaps some of you might like to start thinking about organising a bid? Lots of potential in the country where OSM was founded and which, in coverage terms, is only rivalled by Germany. Personally I'd love to see it in Oxford but don't have the time to help organise it, sadly!
