Hi Everyone! Just a reminder that the winter #editathon is just over 5 weeks away, January, 18-19. We're still looking for locations, so feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions about hosting or planning an in-person #editathon event.
Otherwise, go ahead and add your city to the wiki here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/US_Winter_Editathon_2014 Cheers, Kathleen On Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 10:58 AM, Kathleen Danielson < kathleen.daniel...@gmail.com> wrote: > http://openstreetmap.us/2013/11/january-winter-editathon/ > > Our next #Editathon will be held the weekend of January 18-19, 2014.
