I've been to a successful mapping party in NYC, which was run by CloudMade. The <a href="http://meetup.com">meetup.com</a> group still exists, and someone is funding it. I don't know anyone specific who is still working with it though.<br>
<br>I believe Lancaster, PA is still trying to have monthly meetups as well.<br><br>--<br>Jim McAndrew<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 11:22 AM, Richard Welty <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rwelty@averillpark.net">rwelty@averillpark.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Well.. it's chicken and egg. There wasn't anyone interested in the UK when I ran the first mapping parties there either.<br>
<br>
If you set up a group on <a href="http://meetup.com" target="_blank">meetup.com</a> you'd be surprised how many people join and start to get interested once you have a group meeting monthly.<br>
<br>
We should really be aiming for one meetup per state. I think we have MA, WA, CA, CO now all have monthly meetups. How does NY, TX and the captiol look?<br>

on down there.<br><font color="#888888">
