I am in no place to bid for a venue as its hard to find something which matches http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_2013/Call_for_venues#Criteria but I have a wishlist for the location . I really really want it to be held at a developing country where OSM data is very less , some place where there is hardly any open geo data source or even a strong community of mappers . By suggesting such a place I know I am also foolishly suggesting a place where its hard to organise an event and would have a scarcity of local volunteers but a SOTM at any such country would bring in a lot of enthusiasm , team of excellent mappers, developers and will give a huge push to Govt / GIS bodies to open up their data and also a huge boost / thumbs up to the local community . The developed world have already their own SOTM-EU and SOTM-US and moreover their maps are very much presentable and in some case the maps are much better than the commercial/propreitary ones . Unfortuanately the same couldnt be said for the maps in the other parts where routing doesnt work , the relations are mis tagged and lack of data sources are problems to name few. Its just a wish and hope I havent offended anyone .
