Seattle's event had a good turn out. We had about 9 people, although some people came late and others left early. We had a mix of new people and experienced ones. Thanks to the OSM-US we now have OSM vests that Paul Norman brought down from Vancouver. It is interesting that we had new people that have never mapped before and new to OSM but have a background in GIS. As a side note, the iD introduction is great for getting people going. We just have to help with how to tag items.
We did have a lively discussion on copying data (don't.) Now, where are the statistics from this weekend?
