I submitted a lighting talk proposal for MascotMap. This is probably your last chance to sign up! Stop scrolling right now and submit those proposals!!
It doesn't have to be anything fancy or large scale, just something you care about and want to share.

Looking for a cheaper GIS conference that still offers loads of great content and networking opportunties? State of the Map US is coming up and you cannot beat these prices.
We even have playlists of talks from previous years so you can see if it may be right for you. Take a look and I hope to see some of you in Boston!

I have a talk in about 12 hours at Mapping USA 2025. It will be about WAMap and the virtues of vector based maps and client side filtering for doing data exploration.
You can also hear me later in the day reminding you to run for the OSM-US Board of Directors… if that’s something you may be interested in.
I hope you can join us! It’s free and all virtual.

Just out of curiosity: Has the US OSM community discussed mapping polling places? That would be legal from government data, or would it? Or do the locations change so frequently that they are too hard to keep up to date?
