Congratulations to the OSM gang. This is exactly what I hope the 
Atlantic Chapter can do regularly, just give a place to gather and chat 
about common interests, for both beginners and experts.

By the way, there is a lot of excitement in both communities this year, 
because OSM's State of the Map event and OSGeo's FOSS4G event are back 
to back, in Denver this September.

Have a great weekend everyone :)
