[OSM-talk] No new information on the SOTM since January 2014

[Rob Nickerson]

Oh, I should add that this years SOTM is two months later than last years,
and as such the schedule will naturally shift back. Last year Birmingham
was announced Feb 11th, and the first meeting was Feb 20th. The website
went live March 13th and the Call for Presentations hit the site on April
23rd. The conference was in early September.

Based on these dates (if you add two months to each to reflect that SOTM is
two months later) we are still ahead of last years schedule.

Regards,
Rob
