DRAFT communication to OSM members, partner organizations, family and friends
Dear friends of OpenStreetMap: (Use each individual’s name whenever possible)
We look forward to seeing many of you at our conference July 23-25 at Seattle University, and we encourage you to share information about our event with your networks — employees, partner organizations, family and friends — both before and during the conference.
Before the conference
- To help attract more people and possibly media to the event, please:
- Send this flyer (see below or see the attached) via email or e-newsletter to your networks, encouraging them to attend and asking them to re-share the information with their own networks.
- Post/link the flyer on/to your personal or professional Facebook, LinkedIn and Web pages and again, ask your friends and connections to re-share and cross-link.
- Blog about this event — why you are excited about going, and what you will learn.
- Post information from the attached flyer in your favorite online community/social event calendars.
During the conference
- To help raise the profile of OpenStreetMap and grow our second million+ volunteer mappers worldwide, please consider Tweeting and blogging during the conference, and/or sharing the Tweets and blogs of people you know who are attending.
Thank you for helping us spread the word about OpenStreetMap, an exciting, unique and increasingly invaluable social networking tool.
Gratefully,
