There will be some beginners who may not be familiar with JOSM to facilitate the import, so there will be a tutorial session, perhaps hosted by [maptimeLA](http://www.meetup.com/maptimela/) in advance of the scheduled mapathon.\r\n\r\nI will reach out to these orgs with more to follow:\r\n[maptimeLA](http://www.meetup.com/maptimela/)\r\n[LA County GIS Department](http://egis3.lacounty.gov/dataportal/)\r\n[SocalGIS](http://socalgis.org/)\r\n[Geospatial @ UCLA](http://gis.ucla.edu/)\r\n[USC Dornsife Spatial Sciences Institute](http://gis.usc.edu/)\r\n[Cal State LA Department of Geosciences and Environment](http://www.calstatela.edu/academic/geos)\r\n[HackforLA](http://www.hackforla.org/)\r\nThe organizers of [OpenStreetMap US Summer Mapathon 2014](http://www.meetup.com/OSM-Southern-California/events/196636252/), which was set in LA.\r\n\r\nIf I'm missing any group, let me know."}}
