When

Sunday, November 7th, 2010, 12pm to ~5pm

Where

MIT Building 14, room 132, between the Music Library and MIT Archives, see in OSM. An easy walk from the Kendall/MIT T stop (MBTA red line).

What

There will be opportunities for newcomers to learn how to map and how to use the project.

Tentative schedule:

• 12pm - 1pm: Introduction to Open Street Maps presentation and discussion

• 1pm: Mapping teams will begin working on local update for OSM. Two teams will be collecting track/data with GPS units and one team will use imagery to update features locally

• 3pm: Review of OSM technology and basics of editing presentation

Sessions

Some tools that we're trying to cover in the editing session:

• Potlatch, the OpenStreetMap web editor
• JOSM, a more powerful OpenStreetMap desktop editor
• Quantum GIS, an open source desktop GIS with an OpenStreetMap plugin
