Hi!
We've been discussing the idea of a regional mini-conference to be
attended by mappers from Estonia, Russia, Latvia and Finland.
OSM community in our countries seems to be a closed and isolated
circle with a very few new members each year. So we suggest to break
the isolation through an international OSM meet-up (or
mini-conference) in Tartu, Estonia. We coined the event "SOTM Baltics".
Event format: very unformal (it's more like UNconference than an
academic conference): normal talks, lighting talks, "podium
discussions", social event in a pub in the evening.
Why Tartu? We have mappers from Tartu who volonteered to find a room
for the SOTM Baltics. Also, Tartu can be conveniently accessed from
the largest cities in the Baltic countries: Tallinn, Helsinki, Sankt
Petersburg, Moscow, Riga
Event fee: no or 10 Euro, to be decided.
SOTM Baltics dates: a weekend in July. The exact dates are to be
decided via polling (see below)
How to get to Tartu from Riga with public transportation. There are
4 daily buses between Riga and Tartu that depart Riga at 8:40,
18:45, 22:45, 23:55. The journey takes around 4 hours. Tickets can
be bought at http://www.luxexpress.eu/lv
If you'd like to attend the event, please take part in the poll to
decide on the conference dates: http://doodle.com/anddmr2kpxwnmv77
