There are many local events in the US that don't get published to this talk-us email list, nor do they get added to the event calendar on the OSM wiki. All of the OSM in person meetings that I have been able to attend have been positive experiences for me. I am in favor of making use of publicly available geodata to enhance the data that we collect on the ground. Recently, I've been deliberately incorporating exercising into my OSM efforts. I often go running for at least a mile, then walk around and capture some photos and notes on my phone, and then run home. I think it's great that if I use the RunKeeper application on my phone, then I can visit runkeeper.com to see my route overlaid on top of a map that is generated with OSM data. I recently added some trails to OSM through the woods (some of these trails were just built in summer 2014): http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/45.49406/-122.69378 Multi-modal routing based on OSM data is also used at our local public transportation agency: http://ride.trimet.org/ I've seen improvements that I have made to the road and trail network propagate to this site. http://maps.me/ is a great mobile app, which utilizes OSM data to display maps on the go without the need for an internet connection. I love seeing improvements that I have made to OSM data show up on my phone through this app. I appreciate not having to pay through the nose for mobile data usage if I want to look at a map on my phone when I travel to Canada. I also just like mapping shopping centers and viewing the rendered results on the OSM website: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/45.51448/-122.79099 http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/45.53583/-122.86951 http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/45.44305/-122.80189 http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/42.89235/-71.32614 Peter
