[Osmf-talk] SotM2011: What's next?

[Nick Black]

Hi Richard,

How wrong you are!  We actually had a 1.5 hour SOTM bebrief meeting last Weds, with both Henk and Ivan in full force.  We brainstormed what worked and what didn't work (see attached PDF).  The conclusion was that we need to get started with planning SOTM11.  The plan is for us to take a couple of weeks off, then regroup.  We'll of course put out an invite to all OSMers who might be interested in joining the early stages of organisation for SOTM11.  Probably in mid August.

IMO, its important that we get a lot of feedback from the community about what they like / didn't like / want to see more & less of, then that the organising group put together a call for proposals that meets the needs of the community.

Of course, you can jump the gun and start to prepare for SOTM11 Canada :-)
