Hey Everyone,
I'd like to get an outdoor/parks focused mapathon going for 4/11. Been talking with the US Chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation and as Alan mentions, theme is "The Great Outdoors".
There is also hackathon that the Department of Interior is putting on in D.C on the same weekend, so there is an opportunity for some of the field data collected to feed into that event.
Shawn Britton is planning to propose a hike down south at Los Gatos Creek Park. I'm talking to folks at a few park agencies to see if we can get some agency engagement as well.
I'm leaning toward the Marin Headlands for now, but will make a decision soon.
Ryan

Hi fellow Bay Area OpenStreetMappers!
Lately I’ve been hosting many of the OSM-US Mapathons at Stamen, but these days I’m too busy to keep it up. So I’d like to step back for a little while and give some other people a chance to host the Mapathons. It’s not that hard, you just need enough space for 30 or 40 people, ideally in a central location that’s accessible by transit, and plentiful wifi and outlets. On the other hand, the theme of this Mapathon is “The Great Outdoors”, so maybe instead of a sit-down editathon you’d like to organize an outdoor mapping party? Anything goes!
The next scheduled Mapathon is next weekend: April 11 and 12th. There will be several Mapathons happening in other cities across the US on those two days. It would be great to have one in the Bay Area, too!
To find out more about the OSM US Spring Mapathon, and to sign up to host one, visit the OSM wiki here: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapathon/US_Spring_Mapathon_2015
Happy Mapping!
Alan
