Night of the living maps 07.02.2012 - 'virtual' global mapping party
Ad
Hi irish community, since a few weeks, we had the idea for a global action, that we'd like to announce today: www.nightofthelivingmaps.org At Thursday, the 07.02.2012 we stay awake a whole night long, to trace aerial imagery for the areas, that where we currently lack a lot of informations: the countryside. Outside the big cities of your counties. Sadly we have no real big international events here at OSM, maybe we can change that with this 'LAN party'? So we please you, to ask your local OSM community, if they doesn't want to start a small local party (maybe in Dublin?). It's not that much work, usually you can get a room by univeristy/Hackerspace/local goverment/... for free. Then you just need a few notebooks and Coffee to get the party started ;) We thought that it would be great, if you submit your changesets with a comment starting with '#notlm...', so we are able to select them for animations or just view where all of you are working. Even if it's not the main goal to promote OSM and to attract newbies, it would be great, if you could present your event to others. You will find/can upload flyers and social media contacts right here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Night_of_t... http://www.facebook.com/pages/Night-of-the-li... https://twitter.com/NightOfTheMap But there is still enough stuff to do, for all of us: -setup animation rendering/statistics -maybe we can get a webcam wall or something similar? -add a tips&tricks page for your tips on good productivity and how to surround the usual aerial tracing pitfalls Of course we know, that using just Bing, is only #2 choice for adding details to our database and that survey is what we all realy like. But in this case, we believe, that it is a good compromise (see hints in Wiki). Currently there seem to be no definitive answer if this technique is right or wrong, maybe we can decide on this when years passed and we can take a look back. So for now, let's just do what we are good at: Create together a real good map :) bye Matthias (user:!i!)
