[Talk-GB] SotM 2013

[Gregory]

What's the youngest mapper to go to SotM?
I did a bit of mass-messaging yesterday (under the guise of informing about
SotM, but also as an excuse to get chatting to mappers in the North East).
I didn't expect to get this rather cool reply.

"I would be thrilled if the OSM conference came to the UK, and even better
if it came to Durham! I wouldn't have even thought of Durham, but its such
a nice place. At my age (15) its very difficult to travel, or even afford
to travel to some of the places it has been held..."


Thanks to the people adding to the wiki page on SotM13/UK.
If you missed it, there is the addition of a Birmingham Bid forming and
they have a very strong local community and team for the conference.
I'd have liked to see the breath of the UK pulled together a bit more for a
conference, but I'm starting to think with such a strong effort from
Birmingham, we should focus on supporting that. Any thoughts?

Greg.
