  • Right inside Capital Federal, Buenos Aires. Subway, Buses, and Hotels, Hostals.
  • During April we will be hosting a local chapter of the FOSS4G, and a local SOTM.
  • Government deeply interested on OSM, and willing to Open its data to it. New contacts would be really productive.
  • You won't get bored when not at the SOTM ;), as Buenos Aires is well known for its cultural activities and nightlife.
  • It's a really good opportunity to broaden horizons for both OSMF and Argentina itself!
  • South America is starting to put a lot of attention into OSM and it would be nice to support that interest and initiatives hosting the first SOTM in this continent.
