As you all know, in honor of OpenStreetMap's 9th birthday, we are holding a Birthday Sprint <http://osmlab.github.io/birthday-sprint/> next weekend, August 10th - 11th. Since we can't all be in the same room (this time), this will be a distributed code sprint, so you won't even need to get off the couch! All you'll need to do is get online, and all you'll need to bring is your enthusiasm!
Whoever has an OSM project they are working on is invited to rally their communities to do a dedicated push over those two days. We already have a LOT of great projects signed up, so if you want to help, but don't know where to get started, check out our projects page<http://osmlab.github.io/birthday-sprint/about/>, where you can find contact info, code repositories, discussion lists and more. We're working to identify tasks for non-developers as well, so keep checking back as we get closer to the date of the sprint if you don't see anything you feel comfortable contributing to just yet. These are the projects that are signed up so far: - OSM Groups - HOT Website updates - HOT cross-site toolbar - Complete iD integration into tasking server - WikiMaps - Historical OSM - Hashtag Aggregation - Social Feature Planning (UX workshop) - DC Building Import We're excited about all of the enthusiasm that we've heard so far, but this list isn't done yet! If you've got a project you'd like to add feel free to hit me up, or fork the github page. All we ask is that someone take ownership for the sprint, you provide a place where contributors can find tasks and ongoing discussion, and bring a lot of enthusiasm! Finally, even though this is a distributed code sprint, there are a few in-person events popping up (in DC, SF, and Salt Lake City). Find details here <http://osmlab.github.io/birthday-sprint/locations/>, and let us know if you're planning an in-person event too! KD
