What are you using to parse and resolve location? There doesn't seem to be a suggested format for a github profile and myself, like many other people in the US just put in a State abbreviation or City name which has DC in Van, Turkey.

I'm using Google Geocoding API untill i reached the rate limit (2.5k calls / day) and Openstreetmap API for the rest

The Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. For complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.

I wanted to use this API for a simple app of mine too but in the end didn't because of this. Used Mapquest instead, which seems good too.
