[OSM-talk] State of the Map 2022 - Call for Lightning Talks and SotM 2023 Venues

[Federica Gaspari]

Dear all,

as State of the Map 2022 is approaching, more exciting news and announcements are coming!

*Call for Lightning Talks*
If you missed the deadline for the Call for participation for State of the Map 2022 there are still opportunities to share with the community your latest news and projects around OpenStreetMap. Like previous editions, we have reserved some slots for Lightning talks at this year conference in Firenze (Italy) on 19-21 August 2022.
Submission for pre-recorded lightning talks is now open!

Lightning talks are quick 5-minute talks about any topic related to OpenStreetMap. Since SotM 2022 will be our first attempt at doing a hybrid conference, there are two options for holding a lightning talk:

  *   In-person lightning talk in Firenze held during one of the Lightning talk sessions at the conference. The registration for in-person lightning talks opens on 19 August when the State of the Map 2022 conference starts. You can register for a slot directly at the conference venue.

  *   Pre-recorded lightning talk: we offer the opportunity to submit a short video with a pre-recorded lightning talk. So if you don’t make it to Firenze, you can still participate with a lightning talk and present your topic to a wider audience.
Deadline: 12 August 2022 23:59:59 UTC<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=SotM+2022+Prerecorded+Lightning+Talks+Deadline&iso=20220812T235959)>

*State of the Map 2023 - Call for Venues*

We – the State of the Map (SotM) working group – are currently co-working with an awesome local team based in Italy. They found the venue. Checked the technical conditions for video and more. They ordered catering. The social event is planned. Next steps will be the managing of all volunteers in all roles and shifts.

So we take some time and start thinking about State of the Map 2023!

We are looking for a local team that wants to bring OpenStreetMap to their home town. Do you have any suitable locations in your city? Can it host 300 or 500 people? And .. this cannot be too expensive as SotM wants to stay affordable for the community. How is the catering managed? How easy can attendees and participants travel your city?

We can help you investigate and develop a suitable bid. Please contact us (sotm at openstreetmap.org<mailto:sotm at openstreetmap.org>).

Or you can directly start your bid here:

on behalf of the SotM2022 Organising Committee,
