[Talk-us] Last call spring #editathon

[Alex Barth]

DC went great with about 25 people showing up. Had a great conversation
here with steven johnson about going more directly after student
participants. Maybe a model for other editathons too? For dc, it definitely
helps branding the editathon as explicitly open to beginners. We routinely
have about 10 pple show up who havent done much openstreetmap before.
