We are excited to be holding this year’s OpenStreetMap State of the Map US
conference <http://stateofthemap.us/> in Seattle, Washington from July 23rd
to 25th. During three days - in its most spectacular month - this beautiful
Pacific Northwest city will host some of the best and brightest members of
the North American OpenStreetMap community, and will showcase the world’s
largest online collaborative free geodata project. We would love you to be
a part of it!

This year’s conference theme is Building Community. This theme touches on
growing the number of mappers contributing to our data and developers
creating with it, increasing our diversity, and strengthening our existing
community’s expertise. Do you have a great workshop idea, or a story about
working with OpenStreetMap in your local community? Have you been working
on a project you’re ready to share with a wider audience? We want you to
tell us about it!
Regular Session Talks

We are accepting proposals for 5-minute lightning talks OR 20-minute OR
45-minute talks on:

   - Subject tied to the theme
   - Subjects of general interest to the OpenStreetMap Community
   - Subjects on use of OpenStreetMap data

Regular Session Workshops

We are accepting proposals for Regular Session Workshops for 90-minute
talks.

Post-Session Workshops and Code Sprints

We will also be accepting proposals for workshops and code sprints which
will be held on Monday, July 25. Workshop proposals can be from 45-minutes
to 4-hours in length. Code Sprints will be all day.
