👩‍💻  OSM US Spring Hackathon - 5/21-5/22 at Mapbox DC
Join us May 21-22 in Washington, DC at the Mapbox office for a 2 day OSM hackathon!  
Stop by between 9am-6pm and work with us, followed by an evening social event. 

This is the perfect opportunity to meet up with other developers, designers, and mappers in the OSM community and build something awesome. It could be a new feature for an open source project, a fun map style, a documentation or translation improvement, or something completely random.
 
Bring your laptops and your ideas. All are welcome!
