Yes, I agree with Maria. This effort stems from an ICA effort put it is inclusive. More information, in addition  to http://internationalmapyear.org<http://internationalmapyear.org/>, can be found at http://icaci.org/working-groups/ (duplicated below).

Another point I would make is to work through your national committee to the ICA or through your country's professional association (such as the Cartography and Geographic Information Society in the US, http://www.cartogis.org/.)

P.S. I feel I am both a Neogeographer (neocartographer) and a Paleogeographer (cartographer) can one be both?

Working Group on International Map Year<http://icaci.org/working-groups/#>

  *   Create a text book on Cartography and Geographic Information for the general public;
  *   Elaborate plans for national activities and establish national contacts;
  *   Involve the ICA commissions in the work;
  *   Find sponsors among the affiliate members;
  *   Establish contacts with the UN and the sister organizations (through the ICA Executive Committee and the JBGIS);
  *   Produce information that can be used at national Map Days;
  *   Follow up and update the working plan at the ICC in Dresden 2013.

Hi,

I just stumbled (too) over this: http://internationalmapyear.org 2015:
see below.
I'd love to make FOSS4G Europe 2015 Como a place where OSM meets ICA
in order to explain to cartographers what OSM is ("Neogeography meets
Paleogeography?" :-))

Yours, Stefan

Seems to be some UN thing: The International Map Year 2015/16. Maybe
some OSM groups want to get involved in some way.

This is an ICA (International Cartographic Association) initiative
apparently endorsed by the UN.  The ICA is an international association
of national cartographic societies (in Germany the DGfK) which is
mostly focussed on traditional cartography and generally fairly
reserved towards crowd sourced geodata and community projects.  The
book "The World of Maps" they are promoting on that site contains a
chapter on "Volunteered Geographic Information":

http://internationalmapyear.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/19_Volunteered_Geographic_Information.pdf

which is fairly superficial but includes a quite detailed and well
illustrated tutorial on contributing to OSM.
