OpenStreetMap Hack Weekend DC is an osm hackathon in Arlington, VA running from Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 9:00 AM to Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 6:00 PM (ET). An OpenStreetMap Hack Weekend is a meet-up where we bring along laptops to an office space and spend the weekend doing some technical work to improve OpenStreetMap. This may be development of the “core” components, the editors, or any other side projects and pet projects we fancy hacking on. OpenStreetMap has development tasks sprouting from it in all directions. There’s work to do in almost any programming language, as well as tasks like documentation, and even some non-technical graphics design and translation tasks. If OpenStreetMap Hack Weekend DC is anything like the event in London, it’ll be a smorgasbord of hard-core development, tutorials and drinking!

Datalove is the love of communication. No matter what kind of communication. “Let data flow” is nothing else but “keep communication alive”. Datalove is so exciting! It’s all about the availability of data. What people do with it is not the question. The point is: people need data. Need to get it. Need to give it. Need to share it. Need to do things with it, by means of it. Datalove is caring about what makes things possible. After that - here come the difficulties. And the possibilities. Datalove is embracing the uncertain. Sadly, old misconceptions and rivaling interests exist and try to hinder the flow of communication, and thus the datalove.
