[Talk-us] Who is mapping on the ground in US?

[Steven Johnson]

We're overdue to host a mapping party in the DC area. We'll organize one at
a meetup to be held sometime in the next two weeks (likely coinciding with
WhereCampDC, 10-11 June). So look for an event in WashDC before end of
June...

I helped organize and conduct a very successful mapping party at North
Carolina State University back in Feb. (Blogged here:
http://www.openstreetmap.us/2011/03/openstreetmap-goes-to-school-ncsu-mapping-party/)
but the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area still lacks an organized focus for
OSM activities (which I find astonishing).
