Nick Black writes "We’re pleased to announce that registration for the State of the Map 2008 is now open. Go to this page to sign up. The State of the Map is OpenStreetMap's conference — covering all aspects of using and producing open geodata. Speakers at last year's conference included Google's Ed Parsons, Multimap founder Sean Phelan as well as a host of OSMers, including Steve Coast, Barry "bouncing maps" Crabtree and many more. This year's conference is taking place in Limerick, Ireland on the 12th and 13th July 2008 with even more home-brew-GPS-slippymap-bicyclemapping fun than last year."

Nick writes "CloudMade announced details of their OpenStreetMap Grants scheme yesterday. The idea is simple — anyone can apply for grants of £100 — £1000+ to support useful, interesting or innovative work around OpenStreetMap. This could be anything from squashing OSM’s 10 most annoying bugs to mapping an entire city to building an OSM community from scratch to writing a new mapping client. The grants scheme is open to anyone regardless of location — all ideas are considered and the chosen entries will be announced on CloudMade's blog."
