<div dir="ltr">Hi folks,<div><br></div><div>just thought I'd update you all on the recent 2013 State of the Map Conference in Birmingham now the videos are being uploaded.</div><div><br></div><div>David Evans did a great OHM talk: <a href="http://lanyrd.com/2013/sotm/scphdh/">http://lanyrd.com/2013/sotm/scphdh/</a></div>

<div>Susanna Annas did a talk on the Wikimaps project: <a href="http://lanyrd.com/2013/sotm/scphgd/">http://lanyrd.com/2013/sotm/scphgd/</a></div><div>Video: <a href="http://citizen.civico.net/openstreetmapfoundation/stateofthemap/1138">http://citizen.civico.net/openstreetmapfoundation/stateofthemap/1138</a> 3hrs 54mins</div>
<div><br></div><div>There were also some other presentations (I missed these) which had some historical content, including one about finding a lost river in Japan. If you came across other highlights do share! </div><div>
<br></div><div>We had a very short shared BoF of wikimaps and OHM which was attended by mainly interested and curious mappers. I filled in folks about OHM project and Susanna about wikimaps, but I don't think there was much to report, more a case of chatting with folks who wanted to know more.</div>
<div><br></div><div>During the Code Day following the main conference we were able to do some brainstorming, and I helped guide some folks with the rectification of out of copyright Irish town lands maps which are going up on <a href="http://mapwarper.net">mapwarper.net</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In general, for me the theme of the conference is increasing diversity and widening audiences, and I believe that OHM taps into interested communities of historians, genealogists etc.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Cheers, and hope to catch up at foss4g if folks are coming!</div><div><br></div><div>Tim </div></div>
