[Talk-us] Call for Locations: 2014 Winter #Editathon!

[Mikel Maron]

I don't know about you all in DC, but for me, it's been way too long since I've been outside mapping. Expect there's lots of folks in DC who have only been exposed to tracing. Sure, January is probably not the ideal time to do this, but would love to think about where it might work.

the event has been growing steadily over the last year. If you've considered hosting a local mapping party in the past, this is a great opportunity to get your feet wet. Hosting an editathon is easier than you think. See some helpful suggestions here [2].

>>Editathons are great opportunities to focus on what your local community wants and needs. Is there a local contingent with a strong interest in improving city parks on OSM? Maybe you have a lot of folks who are interested in OSM, but have never actually contributed before and just need someone to show them the ropes? Maybe it's a combination of many things. Whatever your local community is looking for is the "right" thing to focus on, and the #editathon is a great time to do just that.

>>Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, but otherwise, I'm looking forward to seeing what cities will be participating in the first #editathon of 2014!
