OpenStreetMap conferences in 2017
From the translator: the project OpenStreetMap is developing dynamically, more participants join. Conferences are held in foreign countries at which they discuss what has been done, what remains to be done. There are many OSM participants in Russia, but the local community has yet to be created.
Happy New Year ! The past 2017 was a busy year for OpenStreetMap. In communities around the world, not only the amazing State of the Map conferences were organized, but also a lot of meetings, map cards, cartographic parties, seminars and many other things that unite us, cartographers, together and make you feel the essence of OpenStreetMap.
The State of the Map Conference (SotM) is the annual international conference OpenStreetMap. Organized by the OpenStreetMap Foundation , it has been held every year since 2007 (except 2015). There are also many other regional and local conferences called "State of the Map". Please note that these regional SotM are organized exclusively by local teams that run their own sponsorship programs and have separate budgets from the OpenStreetMap Foundation. The main purpose of these conferences is to become a platform for the exchange of information and experience between old and new or potential users.
