One thing that would imho be useful is to create flyers [1] to hand out to people who haven't heard about OSM to explain what OSM is about and why people should care to contribute. >From what I have gathered, the German flyer [2] has been quite a success with apparently 40.000 flyers printed and distributed to date. There is now also an English flyer which the UK chapter distributes for free [3], but it only extends its offer to UK. So perhaps OSMF-US could print and distribute a similar flyer in the US, although it might be good to adapt it to fit the needs of the US better first.
