Well hello Eleanor!
Dang, a bit of schedule conflict as us in the centennial state were already
planning an event for the weekend before and I personally have a long-standing
commitment that weekend preventing us from pushing back
OSM-Colorado-MapCamp!-South Park.
But I added it to the wiki anyhow, and was planning on posting something to the
list this week; so if you’re in CO or want to come camping and mapping the
weekend of July 24-26, head on over to our meetup page (thanks to our meetup
sponsor Telenav): http://www.meetup.com/OSM-Colorado/events/223668240/
We’re still very much planning details, but I will probably need to make a
rough estimate of tent and car counts to reserve campsites by early next week –
will be calling/exploring/maybe reserving a few this weekend.
Cheers,
=Russ
P.S.
You can email me at either russdeff...@gmail.com or russell.deff...@hotosm.org
if you have questions – or preferably, join the chat on the meetup event.

Subject: [Talk-us] Join us for summer mapathon BINGO - weekend of Aug 1
Hello!
We've got our next OSM US quarterly mapathon coming up the weekend of August
1st - obviously you can host a mapathon in your area any time of the year, but
it's also pretty awesome to know that people are mapping across the country at
the same time. :)
If you want an idea for a theme, we created an OpenStreetMap mapathon BINGO
card (https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/439/18875377873_968818d547_z.jpg) that
includes images of (and tagging conventions for) summery things to add to OSM.
Ice cream shops! BBQ pits! Car washes! Swimming pools! Let's get 'em all
into OpenStreetMap. You can read more on our blog post here:
http://openstreetmap.us/2015/07/summer-mapathon-bingo/
If you're organizing a mapathon, please add it to the wiki page here so that
everyone knows about it:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapathon/US_Summer_Mapathon_2015
We also have a new OSM US slack channel for current future mapathon
organizers to informally chat about ideas/outreach strategies/successes/etc. -
send me your email (elea...@openstreetmap.us) if you would like an invite.
Thanks!
Eleanor
