[OHM] OHM at SotM US NYC 6-8 Jun - Sessions & Hack Day

[Jeff Meyer]

All -

Key items here, in case you haven't seen them:

*1) OHM-related sessions in the approved program
<http://stateofthemap.us/program/>! *
(In addition to all the other cool sessions)

Kudos to Chippy (Tim Waters), Richard Welty, and Matt for leading
historical-related sessions. There's also a historical-related Lightning
Talk that may or may not have OHM ties (yet!).

other sessions of sure interest for us: Wikimedia and OpenStreetMap:

OpenStreetMap Carto; 3 Years of OSM Buildings; Vector Rendering Panel;
Peripheral Data in OpenStreetMap; State of the Geocoder; and many others.


*2) Interest in an OHM Hack Day?*

The OSM SotM Hack Day Wiki Page
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_U.S._2015/Hack_day>
is inviting organizations to set up sessions, so I've put us down for some
space.

Any ideas or suggestions for what to do?
Maybe tackling a particular, small area as a group with tagging?
Coding?
City stripping tutorial?

Who's available to attend?


Thanks,
Jeff
