side of things. <br>

Historically, aka pre 2013 revision of COPPA, we couldn't touch
sub 13teeners with a long pole. That may have improved a bit,
theoretically, with the 2013 revision of COPPA, but nobody has
actually done the foot- and paperwork involved to find out and
address any issues. <br>
<br>
I don't want to dig too deep in to the things that might be
considered problematic given general US paranoia on such topics,
but I would consider completely ignoring this a bit risky.<br>

<div>The developers selected the Credly platform specifically so
that the OSM community is not in the business of collecting

we're doing two things to insure GeoBadges users understand

</div>
<div>Just in time for #OSMGeoweek, TeachOSM with
support from Mapstory.org and American
Geographical Society, has released the first
OpenStreetMap Surveyor I badge.[1] </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The badge is aimed at the newest open mappers
of any age and is awarded for successful
acquisition of basic editing skills on
OpenStreetMap. We envision this badge to be the
first in a constellation of more specialized
badges based on skill sets, domains, area
knowledge, and so forth. For more info on the
mechanics of GeoBadges, see the AGS blog
post[2].<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We have a special deal during OSMGeoweek:
Anyone who maps in any of the #100Mapathons,
#MissingMaps, #PeaceCorps, or #HOT events during
OSMGeoweek will be eligible to claim the badge.
Just make sure to comment your changeset with
one of the 2015 OSMGeoweek hashtags so we can
find it. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Happy Mapping, everyone...</div>
