Friday - Sunday, July 9- 11, 2010
Girona, Spain

The State of the Map is the conference of OpenStreetMap - the
worldwide movement of over 194,000 volunteers who are making a new map
of the world.

Have you ever looked at Google Maps and wondered what's going on in
there? Were you shocked by the price of the last map you bought for
your TomTom? The answer to all these questions, and more is waiting
for you at the State of the Map.

Over three days in July 2010, the worldwide OpenStreetMap community
will be meeting to share ideas and stories as they continue their
re-mapping of the world.

For newcomers to the project, the event is a great opportunity to
learn the ins and outs of the leading example of crowd sourcing in the
world.

Experienced OSMers will enjoy the opportunity to catch up with old
friends, put faces to email addresses and share stories of mapping
missions gone awry.

More details will be released in early 2010. To keep up to date with
the latest info, sign up to this event.
