State Of The Map U.S. 2016 Call for Participation

As announced last week, the State of the Map US (SOTM US) 2016 will be held on July 23-24 in Seattle, Wa. This fun-filled and informative two-day event will showcase presentations from some of the best and brightest members of the North American OpenStreetMap (OSM) community and provide a platform to showcase the world’s largest online collaborative open geodata project to a larger American audience.

This years conference theme is Building Community. Building Community touches on growing the mapping community, increasing our diversity, and strengthening our existing communities expertise. The Program Committee will consider any and all submittals that help build a diverse community of mappers.

The SOTM US 2016 Program Committee calls on mappers, academics, policy makers, developers, geo-hackers, business leaders and open geodata supporters from around the country to submit your 200-word abstract for a talk or workshops at SOTM US 2016.

The Call For Participation is open to everyone - in or outside the community, no matter how new you are to the project. **To submit a presentation proposal, send a 200-word abstract of your proposed session or talk to the SOTMUS 2016 Program Committee no later than April 10, 2016. ** Regular Session Talks

The Program Committee is accepting proposals for 45 minute talks on:

  • Subject tied to the theme
  • Subjects of general interest to the OpenStreetMap Community Subjects on use of OpenStreetMap data

Regular Session Workshops

The Program Committee is accepting proposals for Regular Session Workshops for 90 minutes talks

Post Session Workshops and Code Sprints

The Program Committee is accepting proposals for workshops and code sprints. Workshop proposals can be from 45 minutes to 4 hours in length. Code Sprints will be all day.

The US State of the Map website will continue to be updated with the latest information. You can also drop the Program Committee a line if you have a specific question.

We look forward to seeing everyone in Seattle this July! Here’s to making our sixth national OSM conference a highlight event in our short history.

Cheers,

The State of the Map US Program Committee
