[oxoncotswolds] Oxford SotM?

[Richard Fairhurst]

A couple of us were wondering out loud the other week whether Oxford  
would be a good candidate for a future State Of The Map.

It's got lots going for it: easy to reach internationally and  
nationally, lots of OSM activity, an interesting city for people to  
visit, no shortage of venues. We haven't had a UK SotM since the first  
one (Manchester), and the UK is still OSM's second most active country  
and provides the lingua franca of the project. So it wouldn't be  
unfitting to propose one in the next couple of years.

I am the single worst person in the world ever at organising this sort  
of thing so I'm certainly not proposing to be pivotal in any bid  
myself... though I would of course be happy to help. But I thought it  
was worth throwing the idea out there.

We did consider a Charlbury SotM but I'm not sure there's enough space  
in the back room of the Rose & Crown. ;)

cheers
