State of the Map US

We’re all getting ready for the conference, but the SOTM US organizing committee would like to thank our sponsors, Cloudmade,  Stamen Design, Mapquest, Traverse Technologies, Fortius One, US Bureau of Census, #geoglobaldomination, Thea Clay, and Serge Wroclawski.

It’s because of these sponsors that we’re able to make this conference as accessible as it is and be able to provide the kinds of services to our attendees that are usually only found in larger, expensive conferences.

And if you’re thinking of sponsoring the conference, there’s still time to make a last minute sponsorship!

In addition to the amazing schedule we have lined up, we have a workshop for folks who want to embed OpenStreetMap on their web site.

The workshop will last one hour and is free for all conference attendees.

The workshop will cover the basics of OpenStreetMap, using OpenLayers to display OSM data, using OpenLayers and Markers to make custom maps and OpenStreetMap Search.

If you’re new to OpenStreetMap, or have experience contributing but not consuming OSM data, stop by!

When; Saturday 11:00 – 12 noon
Where: Community Room

The OpenStreetMap-US National Chapter is proud to announce the first annual U.S. State of the Map Conference will be held August 14-15, 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia.
