[Talk-GB] SotM 2013

[Harry Wood]

Nottingham successfully won a bid to host FOSS4G 2013 (big conference on Open
Source Geo software which goes to different locations each year) That's
17th-21st September  http://2013.foss4g.org

Steven Feldman is one of the main organisers of that. He said to me it would
be great to have State Of The Map alongside, running before or after that
conference at the same venue. 

We piggybacked on FOSS4G before in Denver of course. It's a good way to
ensure a good turn-out and attract different people to learn more about OSM,
but if we wanted it to be more "our own" conference, then having a lot of
confused outsiders in the audience can detract from that slightly.

Also Steven wasn't volunteering to help organise.

So Nottingham is another idea to throw into the ring but...
