[Talk-us] OpenStreetMap outreach opportunity

[Mikel Maron]

Organized by National 4-H? It's in DC area, so any of us in DC could help out. But how to connect to them? Wonder if this is an ESRI related thing? I'd expect to see their name on it if so.

>I'm following up on our great discussion at #sotmus about diversity and, in this specific case, outreach/education to broaden the community base. I want to point out this upcoming National Youth Summit on Geospatial Technologies[1]. It looks like a fantastic opportunity to expose young mappers to the awesomeness that is OpenStreetMap...if we can get on the program. (I have no idea if the program is set, nor how tightly scripted it is.) Even if we can't participate, I'd like to draw attention to it as an example of the kinds of events we should look to for outreach and community development.
