Hello David, This is great to hear, I'm really excited about the Mapathon happening at the conference. It's always awesome to see both these communities working together and coming up with something amazing! Thank you for offering the scholarship :) I'm based out of India, so it's hard for me making to the conference. Would be happy to share ideas and work with folks on OSM related sessions.
