We had no less than two successful Editathon events here in the greater
Boston area: One by Mike Foster at MIT (Cambridge), and the other one at
Telenav's offices.
With the recent MA building imports, missing roads at new residental
developments now stand out very visibly on the map, and - with
up-to-date Bing imagery and Tiger2012 - mapping those turned out to be a
good task for participants.
By the way, I've helped hosting a few mapping parties/editathons in the
past, and one of the things I noticed this time was how much easier iD
is for beginners to pick up than Potlatch. Kudos to the iD team for
making a great editor!!
Also, Mele, thanks for posting those great resources! We're hoping to
start having more regular OSM meetups around here and that will
definitely come in handy then.

Things went well in PDX too-- we had about 14 people who came and went
throughout the day. Lots of newbies too! I did forget to take pictures
though-- oops.

Good to hear you've been having a good time! Re: battlegrid: you're
most welcome! I've shown it to the folks present at the SLC Editathon
today, and everyone found it useful. Please don't hesitate to send any
feedback or suggestions this way.
We had a really good time here in Salt Lake. The turnout was good by
our standards (5 people, 2 new). We did not accomplish a lot of
mapping but we did discuss a potential Utah address points import
extensively. Also, because we all agreed this is a pleasant way to
spend a Saturday afternoon, we are introducing a new monthly event,
the Saturday Mapternoon! If you're in the area, check us out:
