Paul, we also received that feedback and are working hard to encourage
*everyone* interested in OSM and mapping to attend.

One of the ways we were planning on attracting more of the community was to
have a very strong scholarship program to help cover travel costs. You can
apply for that program here:

I'd love to hear thoughts on how we could reach out to and attract more of
the community. Who should we talk to? What kind of communication are they
most likely to listen to?
