Hi all,
For those who were able to come to Boulder, Colorado for the annual
State of the Map US conference this past weekend—thanks and I hope that you
enjoyed the Colorado weather and hospitality!
It was a really nice program <https://2017.stateofthemap.us/program/>
and it was especially cool to see more and more of the projects that the
community has been chatting about and working on in their spare time
finally come to life and are in production!
All the talks on Friday and Saturday were videotaped
<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqjPa29lMiE2k2Sp5L5rb6ntduG9dt0te>,
and you can see lots of snapshots
<https://www.flickr.com/search/?user_id=95444237%40N08&sort=date-posted-desc&safe_search=1&view_all=1&tags=>
of folks at Folsom Field and a few of the evening socials.
Cheers,
Deb
