[HOT] Fw: [Talk-us] Happy Birthday, OSM-- let's have a Birthday Sprint!

[Mikel Maron]

At the tech chat on Monday, we also picked up this idea of a Birthday Sprint. Thinking we can have a chat again on July 15 to start to coordinate HOT software needs for it.

>I hope you're all enjoying your Independence Day celebrations! I'm thinking toward another upcoming anniversary-- OpenStreetMap's 9th birthday! I know that folks are planning various celebrations in cities around the world, and I thought that it might be a good idea to plan a Birthday Sprint to continue the work from the SOTMUS Sprint Days.

What this means is that whoever has a project they are working on can rally their community to do a dedicated push over those two days. I'm thinking MapRoulette, new osm.org features, iD updates-- whatever. Then, we just do it! If people want to host in-person sprint day events, that's fantastic, but even though being in the same room is vastly beneficial, it's not always feasible on a project like this, so the assumption is that this will be a predominantly remote event.
