Dale & list,
TeachOSM has initiated a project with the US Census Bureau we've been
calling 'Missing America', dedicated to mapping those marginal areas
and vulnerable populations. We're just getting organized, but
anticipate local communities playing a part in both mapping as well as
community organization. Happy to chat more off list.

This sounds like a project that HOT would do also. Have you thought
about connecting to them, perhaps using their tools? It may help.

While Missing Maps is mostly internationally focused we always
hoped to support local OSM communities in the US. We would love to
find more ways we can support the mapping of vulnerable
populations in the US. I'd like to participate when you have your
next call.
Great initiative and I look forward to helping out.

Hi all,
Eleanor, Clifford and I started talking about ways to make
local OSM groups more successful, and / or how to support more
of them. See our meeting notes here if you are interested:
https://gist.github.com/mvexel/ffefcbf2c3012af51f16
Currently we are compiling a list of local groups that are
active. Here is what we have right now (after only a bit of
searching Meetup by Clifford)
Bay Area OSM
Toronto OSM Enthusiasts
OSM Colorado
OSM Seattle
OSM Salt Lake City
OSM Tampa Bay
Phoenix Geo
OSM St. Louis Mid America Mappers
OSM Southern California
OSM Ottawa
Mapping DC
OSM Kansas City
OSM Vancouver
MapGive mapathon (DC)
Do you know of any others, please let us know! With a link /
contact person if possible.
We will meet again in a couple of weeks. If you want to help
think about and work on ways to support local OSM groups, let
us know and we will make sure you get on the next call with us.
Thanks,
Martijn
