The OpenStreetMap (Austria) stand at Maker Faire Vienna 2023
We had a great stand on the upper floor, and its positioning on a corner allowed us to set up a monitor on each side of the table at the same time, where we could introduce interested visitors to the world of OpenStreetMap - and there were quite a few of them over the two days! Three of us, geologist, ScubbX and Skunk, manned the OSM info table and hardly had a moment to ourselves.
This year, for the first time, we participated as the Local Chapter OSM Austria in the Grazer Linuxtage (GLT, https://www.linuxtage.at/de/). The Grazer Linuxtage took place from April 14th to April 15th. On the first day, only workshops were held, with Stefan Tiran conducting a very well-attended JOSM workshop (https://pretalx.linuxtage.at/glt23/talk/JZSDTZ/).
On the second day, various lectures and information stands were on the program. OSM Austria presented itself at its information stand in the usual way. We were there with 4 colleagues:

The international annual OSM conference “State of the Map” (SotM) took place in Florence from August 19 to 21, 2022: https://2022.stateofthemap.org/
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
Participants and OSM-specific organizations from all over the world were present at this extremely exciting and successful conference. What was also special about this event was that it was a hybrid event, which meant that you could also participate via the internet, at least during the exciting talks. However, the many conversations and exchanges of information with the other conference participants, OSM developers and mappers on site were an experience that no online participation can replace.
