Hi all,<div><br></div><div>Earlier this month at FOSSGIS in Heidelberg there was quite some discussion around working with the full history planet and easier ways to work with historical OSM data through a 'history API'. Historical analysis becomes more important for OSM for visualization, analysis and retracing vandalism and other unwanted behavior. So we got to talking about organizing a hack weekend for this - and other - topics.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We have secured the weekend of 10-12 June at the wonderful LinuxHotel. There is no external funding as yet, but LinuxHotel has a great deal for communities: EUR 60 for a shared room or EUR 90 for a single room, including breakfast, use of common rooms, internet etc. </div>

<div>Add your name there if you want to join and more suggestions for topics.</div><div><br></div><div>There is a max of 15-20 people, depending on number of people sharing rooms.</div><div><br></div><div>See you in Essen!</div>
