State of the Map 2008 Conference - call for papers

25 March 2008, 5:17pm

The Call for Papers for the State of the Map 2008 is now open. The conference takes place in Limerick, Ireland, from 12 - 13 July 2008.

We’re inviting papers and demonstrations from anyone who contributes to OpenStreetMap or uses OpenStreetMap or other open geodata. Would you like to demonstrate uses of OSM data or run a Tricks and Tips session? Maybe you’ve got the best routing engine around and your itching to show it off? Is tagging driving you crazy? There are a few different ways you can participate in the State of the Map 2008 - giving a talk, holding a workshop or giving a lightning talk.

To give a talk, email your name, organisation, the talk’s title, a 200-300 word abstract, a 100-200 word biography and a photograph of yourself to registration@stateofthemap.org.

If you would like to give a workshop email your name, organisation, the workshop’s title, a 200-300 word description, a 100-200 word biography and a photograph of yourself to registration@stateofthemap.org.

Anyone wanting to give a lightning talk can sign up on the day - but be warned, spaces will be limited.

Last year’s highlights included Barry Crabtree’s bouncing maps, Ed Parsons view of the bazaar from the cathedral and Iván’s patriotic report on the State of Spain.
