Hm
How about we have a coordinated mapping party weekend across the US in
something like September? Aim to get a party in every state?
That gives us a nice goal, a long time to organize plus we could
coordinate for national press if we're clever.
Thoughts?

We're overdue to host a mapping party in the DC area. We'll organize
one at a meetup to be held sometime in the next two weeks (likely
coinciding with WhereCampDC, 10-11 June). So look for an event in
WashDC before end of June...
I helped organize and conduct a very successful mapping party at North
Carolina State University back in Feb. (Blogged here:
http://www.openstreetmap.us/2011/03/openstreetmap-goes-to-school-ncsu-mapping-party/)
but the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area still lacks an organized focus
for OSM activities (which I find astonishing).

I've been to a successful mapping party in NYC, which was run by
CloudMade. The meetup.com <http://meetup.com> group still exists,
and someone is funding it. I don't know anyone specific who is
still working with it though.
I believe Lancaster, PA is still trying to have monthly meetups as
well.

If you set up a group on meetup.com <http://meetup.com>
you'd be surprised how many people join and start to get
interested once you have a group meeting monthly.
We should really be aiming for one meetup per state. I
think we have MA, WA, CA, CO now all have monthly meetups.
How does NY, TX and the captiol look?
i'm trying to get a group going in the Capitol District of NY;
i think
that NYC needs its own group, but i don't know of anything going
on down there.
