is this actually data supported? did we notice a measurable increase in user contributions from Argentina, or a better community engagement? I would like to consider if a "conference" like SOTM is still the right thing to do. We just organized a small get-together without calling it officially a conference (centered around un-conference, spontaneity and being all in the same location), and, surprise, about 50 people did show up for the event. Never in the history of OSM in Italy so many people attended. -- -S _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
