Anywhere. And I *should* be in the gold category on that at this point.
Weird.

I think a lot has to do with where it thinks you're located.

I zoomed out and couldn't find myself anywhere on the continent. I have
enough changesets it shouldn't have been a problem finding me.

Seems like that's a good start for guessing where people who don't have a
defined location in their user profile is, but not so much for people who
do.

Hi Paul,
The problem is that you map all over the place.
I heard from a few of you, so thanks a ton! I just realized this will be a
lot easier if I give you the local groups I already have on my list. If you
organize *or are a member of* (or just know of) a local user group from
somewhere other than the areas listed below, please let me know ASAP!

Hi Kathleen,
I think Randy Hale runs an OSM user group in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Might want to add that into the mix.

Do not, or do. There is no 'like'. - channelling Map Yoda. :-)
They're fun. Pick a format that works for you and do it.

Stupid suggestion - plot these on a map.
Would be interesting to see which high-populaion areas *don't* have a meet up
and then see if we can organize something remotely and then some of us fly in
for a weekend, if inclined, to kick things off.
Costs would be $200 for SWA flights plus $200 for

Re: Remote meetup deployment: I love that idea and think it would be an
awesome goal 6 months from now. I'd love to have built up a local OSM user
group organizer toolkit by then, so that we can give them some tried and
tested
We already did/do that :
1. Sunnyvale and SF Edit-a-thons used a Google Hangout so that I could
give a remote bootstrap to SF as they did not have a local leader. Seemed
to work
2. BiWeekly Mappy Hours are held, also via Hangout and are well attended
and also seem to work

Great, good to hear.
I'm worried I said something the wrong way that made you guys feel defensive.
Wasn't my intention if so. This is your baby, I just ran the first mapping
party and we ran tons of them at CloudMade so I have opinions but I'm not
trying to tell you what to do.

Hi Paul
I was basically alone starting the Seattle group for many months. We had a lot
of churn (one person come one month, then a different person the next…)
It takes a long time, but it is worth it.
Also, I wouldn't bother reaching out to existing mappers as we never found that

I wish there was a way to see locations of mappers beyond the first N

Have you seen this map?

Excellent point-- what I had in mind was something along the lines of what
the Boston Python Workshop http://bostonpythonworkshop.com/about/ has
done-- they provide intro to Python workshops that encourage diversity
