Hi all,

(Cross-posting to talk-us & the *brand-spanking new* diversity-talk list...
Yay.)

I'm following up on our great discussion at #sotmus about diversity and, in
this specific case, outreach/education to broaden the community base. I
want to point out this upcoming National Youth Summit on Geospatial
Technologies[1]. It looks like a fantastic opportunity to expose young
mappers to the awesomeness that is OpenStreetMap...if we can get on the
program. (I have no idea if the program is set, nor how tightly scripted it
is.) Even if we can't participate, I'd like to draw attention to it as an
example of the kinds of events we should look to for outreach and community
development.

Thoughts on next steps? Please discuss...

There are two types of people in the world. Those that can extrapolate from
incomplete data.
