This month’s witching hour takes me to Mexico City not for my awesome trick or treat costume (photos coming soon!!) but for the Open Government Partnership Summit from October 27-29th.

The Summit brings reformers from 66 countries to talk strategies in making their governments more open, accountable, and responsive. Since open is part of my jam… I’ll be there! With many from the open geo community we hope to build momentum for further cooperation, exchange and action when it comes to mapping. If you are also going to be there, come find me! When not covered in OpenStreetMap stickers I’ll be speaking at the following sessions:

• Wednesday, October 28 * 12:30pm-1:30pm:
  I’ll assist at the OpenStreetMap Mapathon with friends from the open geo comunity.
• Wednesday, October 28 * 6:00pm-7:00pm:
  I’ll be geo speed geeking (not speed dating) at Geo Open Data 4 Official Stats
• Thursday, October 29 * 10:00am - 11:00am:
  Panel on the Global Impacts of Open (geo) Data

If you’re not at the Summit but want to keep up with all the mapping events keep an eye on #ogpmapping and #mappingrevolution. Because we expect no less than a revolution when it comes to open mapping.
