OpenStreetMap Overview

Cc: BLU Meeting Announcements <[hidden email]>


When: November 19, 2008 7PM (6:30PM for Q&A)
Topic: OpenStreetMap Overview
Moderator: Richard Weait
Location: MIT Building E51, Room 376


Richard will discuss OpenStreetMap in his engaging and enthusiastic
style. You'll learn a bit about the history of OSM, but not so much
that you fall asleep. You'll see the amazing growth of OSM since its
founding. And Richard will display some of the uses of OSM that
already outstrip commercial mapping systems.

You should see this presentation if you find maps at all interesting.
He'll cover enough OSM to show you what it is, why you will care, and
how you can get started contributing either code or GIS data to OSM.
You'll see enough of the basics to take the sting out of the learning
curve in a project as far reaching as OSM.

For more information please check the BLU main site: http://www.blu.org

There is usually plenty of parking in front of MIT E-51 (2 Amherst St,
Cambridge, MA).

Our next Installfest is Saturday, November 22, 2008. I will send out a
separate mailing

Alan,

Thanks for forwarding. I'm planning on being there barring familial
interruptions -- anyone else?

Familial obligations for me, but I'd love a recap at an OSGEO meeting  
next month. December 10th anyone?

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

The problem expressed by several interested parties has been conflict with the Linux users group which meets that evening ( http://www.bugc.org/ ). It meets at 6:30pm, so I suppose we could have an OSGEO get-together afterwards, but that might get a bit late.

How about the 18th? Allan, would the Museum be a possibility for that evening?

We're booked that evening. December is our big month for rentals.
