Because then we would just be mapping events held inside event halls. They are not worth mapping because they do not alter the OSM data. If a farmland becomes a parking lot, if a road becomes a pedestrian road, if a stage suddenly is built in a park - well, those are mappable. Mapping a convention center’s schedule requires no change in the map. ComicCon in San Diego is probably the biggest event of the year there - yet there are no real changes to the map. The San Diego Marathon (?) closes a section of freeway, and several major roads. One requires mapping changes, one doesn’t. If the point is to map just event locations, then my idea is wrong. If the point is to map seasonal changes to OSM, then “outdoor” events seem to be the only ones that could alter the map - from Sunday’s farmer’s markets to marathons to Burning Man. Otherwise every event venue is going to be covered with 40 pins mapping a schedule. My work, a private High school, holds an annual entrance test where 3000 students come to take the entrance exam. It is a big disruption in traffic on the day and the nearby park is full of students. It’s well known in our city. Yet it requires no changes to OSM. Is that something we should map?
