Party Time! Good and bad ways to run OpenStreetMap mapping partiesHarry Wood
The document discusses good and bad ways to organize OpenStreetMap mapping parties. It notes that parties can boost map data in unmapped areas, attract new mappers, and build the OSM community. However, it also discusses challenges like ensuring even coverage, attracting new contributors, dealing with alcohol, and finding an approach that works for different locales. The document provides tips for planning parties, such as choosing a mapping area and pub, setting up a wiki page, and advertising, but also activities like blogging and taking photos that the author does not always have time for.

OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It allows users to collect and share geographic data and edit maps. The project aims to build a map that is free of errors and restrictions, and that anyone can use and improve. It has grown rapidly since its founding in 2004 and now has a large amount of mapped data across Europe and parts of Africa and Asia. The project hopes to continue expanding worldwide and learning from other collaborative projects like Wikipedia.
The document summarizes the OpenStreetMap community's response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake by mapping damage from satellite imagery and coordinating data collection through open tools. Volunteers mapped collapsed buildings, camps, damaged infrastructure and landslides to aid relief efforts. The maps were used to distribute food and water by identifying spontaneous camps. Reconstruction efforts were also mapped to increase accountability for donations. OpenStreetMap coordinated their mapping work through mailing lists and tools like Ushahidi to effectively respond to the disaster.
Maptivism reloaded: Open Data for Development @oddcChristian Kreutz
This document discusses the use of open data and maps for development purposes. It provides examples of how maps can be used to visualize data and monitor real-time events. Open data initiatives like OpenStreetMap are highlighted as enabling worldwide collaboration on geographic data. When combined with mobile phones, data and maps can create powerful information services. The document advocates offering added value services to help organizations and aid beneficiaries.

OpenStreetMap and CycleStreets: collaborative map-making and cartography in t...CycleStreets
Abstract: The arrival of web-based mapping from Google and others has revolutionised, in the space of only five years, the way many people interact with maps and map data. And the success of projects such as Wikipedia highlight how collation of small amounts of information from large numbers of people - an approach called 'crowdsourcing' - can challenge traditional models of data collection and ownership. Bringing these concepts together is OpenStreetMap, a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Well-established enterprises such as the Ordnance Survey are coming under increased pressure from this new model, and large companies such as MapQuest and Microsoft are starting to use and invest in it. Martin Lucas-Smith, Webmaster in the Department, and one of two main developers of the leading UK-wide cycle journey planner website, CycleStreets, will discuss OpenStreetMap, its use within a wide range of systems (from cartography, routing, and even its central role helping deal with the Haiti disaster) and discuss the challenges it poses to traditional forms of cartography and data collection.
Talk: "Using Open Data and Crowdsourcing to develop CycleStreets"CycleStreets
The document discusses CycleStreets, an open source project that provides online cycle route planning and mapping using open data and crowdsourcing. Key points include:
- CycleStreets uses OpenStreetMap data and crowdsourcing to develop a UK-wide cycle journey planner and photomap. Over 2 million journeys have been planned so far mainly through word-of-mouth.
- OpenStreetMap is an open collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It uses crowdsourcing where volunteers collect and contribute map data.
- CycleStreets demonstrates how open data and crowdsourcing can be used to develop useful online tools and maps to support cycling at a low cost
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) was founded in 2010 to apply OSM's principles of open data to humanitarian response and development. HOT supports crisis mapping, imports existing data to OSM, conducts outreach and training, and partners with organizations on projects like mapping slums in Africa. HOT data has been used for disaster response in Haiti, the Philippines, and other crises.
Presentation given at the Where2.0Now conference in Harrogate
Blog post about the talk:
http://www.harrywood.co.uk/blog/2009/11/12/openstreetmap-at-where20now/
OpenStreetMap is a project that creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps. It was started because most "free" maps have legal or technical restrictions on their use. OpenStreetMap data is collected and edited by volunteers, and can be rendered and used through various tools. The data is composed of nodes, ways, and polygons with attributes, and covers locations around the world, including being used for crisis response mapping in Haiti.
MapQuest: How OSM Benefits & Vice VersaRandy Meech
The document discusses how open-source mapping can benefit the navigation and location-based services industries. It summarizes MapQuest's investments in OpenStreetMap, including hiring contributors and hosting tools and services. While commercial data is still needed for some uses like navigation, open data is increasingly competitive for many applications. The author believes open data will not completely replace commercial data due to needs like ensuring roads are driven, but it will continue growing in importance. MapQuest is launching new open products like an SDK and aerial tiles to engage developers and further open mapping.
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. OSM data is openly licensed and contributors can map areas important to them. The OSM map is compiled from data contributed by mappers around the world and integrated with public datasets like TIGER. Mappers can contribute from home or at global mapping events using online tools or GPS devices to add and update map features.
OpenStreetMap introduced open crowdsourcing as successful model for collecting geographic data and community mapping. The presentation highlights some points why it can be interesting for Towns to take a closer look at OpenStreetMap.
Boston Ignite: Spatial, Dec 2nd, 2009
Some notes: http://spanring.eu/blog/2009/12/07/what-can-towns-learn-from-openstreetmap/
OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a crowdsourced map of the world. It began in 2007 and has grown significantly since then, with over 18 million miles of roads mapped by over 700 contributors. OSM data quality has been found to be high enough for many uses. The Humanitarian OSM Team uses OSM for disaster response. OSM is used in many mobile applications and for routing. The future of OSM includes managing trust, licensing issues, and monetizing through mobile applications.
OpenStreetMaps is an organization that utilizes collective input to compile a global mapping database. This mapping data is provided freely under creative commons licensing for anyone to use or modify. The goal is to map the entire world through contributions from volunteers equipped with GPS devices or paper maps. As of 2009, over 140,000 users had contributed data, creating increasingly detailed maps.
The web offers many free tools for basic GIS analysis and visualization. Steve Schild, GIS Manager at the Rutland Regional Planning Commission, highlights the best in this slideshow.

This document discusses the concept of psychogeography and situationist practices related to exploring and mapping one's surroundings. It covers theories put forth by Guy Debord and the Situationists on deriving meaning from one's environment and how architecture can influence behavior. Specific situationist techniques are mentioned like the dérive, which involves drifting through an area and mapping psychogeographical features. Examples are given of alternative mapping projects that apply these ideas like mapping unusual or subjective attributes of places. The document advocates exploring one's surroundings through playful derivation to gain new perspectives and insights.
The map is not whats there - psychogeography and openstreetmapchippy
This document discusses the concept of psychogeography and mapping. It provides an overview of psychogeography as defined by Situationists like Debord, involving deriving or drifting through varied urban environments and being aware of how places shape interactions. It discusses different types of psychogeography and gives examples of related practices like urban exploration, parkour and mapping community spaces. The document emphasizes that maps reflect the interests of their creators and can be used to argue perspectives or identify things worth advocating for. It encourages participants to go outside in small groups and engage in informal mapping activities.
Psychogeography is the study of how geographic environments influence individuals' emotions and behaviors. It involves exploring landscapes in unconventional ways to gain unique perspectives. Techniques include deriving, which involves drifting through an area without a fixed route or purpose. The Situationists in 1950s Paris were early practitioners of psychogeography and deriving as a way to transform perceptions of places and everyday life. Modern interest has revived with groups conducting psychogeographic walks and events to re-experience urban environments. Mobile apps now offer new ways to engage in psychogeographic mapping and storytelling about places.
The document describes a web-based GIS tool called Tagger that allows users to capture fuzzy geographic areas and attributes. It has three main components: 1) A user input tool that lets users spray fuzzy areas on a map and tag attributes. 2) A storage and weighting tool that aggregates inputs from multiple users. 3) A querying tool that represents the aggregated data and allows searching tagged comments based on perceived importance. The tool was developed to capture everyday geography like areas people perceive as "nice" or having "high crime", which usually have vague boundaries and vary within.
The document discusses crowdsourcing the georectification of historical maps by having people trace over digitized maps online. It provides context that while crowdsourcing work to users can build a site, companies must also provide structure for users to collaborate. Examples are given of past mapping projects that used crowdsourcing as well as technical steps to georectify maps and tools that can be used.
This document discusses community analytics on the GeoWeb and outlines challenges and opportunities for collaborative analysis of big, real-time, linked geospatial data. It proposes creating web-based platforms to make analytics easy, powerful, collaborative and traceable for decision makers and the general public. The goal is to enable people to work together to analyze information and draw more informed conclusions, as was done for disaster relief in Haiti, by addressing issues around data volume, sharing models and keeping analyses extendable and improving over time.
Psychogeography is the study of how geography and the built environment can influence human emotions, behavior, and perceptions. It involves exploring and mapping an area using techniques like deriving (drifting through an area) to experience places in unique ways and transform perceptions. The concept originated with the Situationists in 1950s Paris and has since inspired various groups and individuals to map areas while cultivating unusual perspectives on places through activities like psychogeographic walks.
