Old call for venues information
Each year the
SotM working group
(aka The State of the Map Organising Committee) organizes the global OpenStreetMap conference
State of the Map
(SotM). When the conference location is chosen, additional members will join the group as a "local team".
The local team is essential in providing on the-ground information about the venue (rooms, video, network, etc.), catering during the conference, suitable accommodation, how to use public transport and everything else that we have to organize locally. Additionally, the local team members can also work on tasks that can be done remotely. As the conference draws nearer, the working group will look for additional volunteers to assist during the conference. A good community of local volunteers helps here too.
In recent years, the annual OpenStreetMap conference State of the Map has attracted around 300-400 attendees. Normally it runs for three days; the weekend plus either Friday or Monday. SotM has started in a traditional conference format. But we also have some unconference elements which we appreciate. Our vision is sufficiently broad to accept all styles of bids - we're open to new ideas if you provide a compelling case.
In
2020
and
2021
SotM was a virtual conference due to Covid, which allowed many more people to attend. We wanted to stay with that new virtual format and combine it with our traditional conference format; thus,
SotM 2022
was held in a hybrid manner, which we want to continue.
The last three in-person editions of the State of the Map were all held in Europe:
SotM 2018
was in Milano/Italy,
2019
in Heidelberg/Germany and
2022
in Firenze/Italy. To better reflect the global nature of the OSM community, we prefer not to hold the next SotM in Europe and would especially like to encourage local teams from previously underrepresented regions to put in a bid.
