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.
This pilot project, inspired by a collection data management developed for a museum in Rotterdam, has been developed at crdav, the Research & Documentation Centre for Visual Arts of Rome's Cultural Heritage Department. It was used as a basis for a presentation at CDCH 2012, a Satellite Workshop of IEEE's Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing in Innsbruck, Austria (30 September - 4 October 2012).
This document provides an overview of OpenStreetMap (OSM), a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It discusses how OSM allows anyone to collect and contribute geographic data through GPS devices, aerial imagery, and local mapping parties. It notes that OSM aims to make maps and data available everywhere through an open data model and range of tools. The document highlights how OSM is used for navigation, urban planning, agriculture, ecology, and humanitarian response around the world, especially in developing areas. It concludes by emphasizing OSM's potential and calling for continued contributions to map more locations.
Exploring the Minecraft world using real world topographical dataAdam Clarke
In this talk I will show you how I have used real world topographical radar data, taken during a space shuttle orbit 14 years ago, to explore the north of England and its historic monuments such as Hadrian's Wall, Carlisle Castle and even coastal wetland bird habitats.
Map Kibera is a project that aims to map Kibera, Kenya, one of the largest slums in Africa, using crowdsourcing techniques. Local volunteers are trained to map the area using GPS and satellite imagery. The project works with local communities and NGOs to collect map data on infrastructure, facilities, and other points of interest. The goal is to create an open, collaborative map of Kibera to provide better information and support for community development.
The document summarizes OpenStreetMap, an open-source map of the world. It discusses how OSM was created as an alternative to proprietary online maps, which are expensive, out of date, and closed. It highlights OSM's growing global community of mappers and range of tools for collecting and editing map data. The document also outlines some current and potential uses of OSM data in developing countries.
Minecraft can be used to explore real world topography by importing elevation data from sources like NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission into world generation programs. The author describes how he imported SRTM data of Cumbria, UK to create a realistic Minecraft map, which he then enhanced with historical maps and details. This project with a museum engaged students in exploring Roman history sites like Hadrian's Wall through Minecraft. Other examples presented use Minecraft to facilitate urban planning collaborations, teach Danish geography at a 1:1 scale, and allow virtual tours of cities like Brisbane.

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.
Online mapping has come a long way since the Lascaux Cave Map over 16,500 years ago. While launching a site that embedded maps was challenging in the past due to needing to reverse engineer Google's JavaScript, it is now common for websites to include maps using Google's mapping APIs. One of the first Google Maps mashups was HousingMaps, which combined Craigslist data with Google Maps. Maps have become a familiar part of online news due to advantages like allowing users to quickly view stories and local information through an easy to grasp visual format. They can also present data through automated updates in response to real-time changes. The Map of the Market interface was designed to give a quick view of what was happening in the
The document proposes an augmented reality mobile application called PiligrimXXI that allows tourists to view historical sites as they appeared in the past. It aims to address the problems of tourists being unable to visualize how ruins originally looked and feeling frustrated by a lack of context. The application uses markerless augmented reality and GPS to overlay virtual 3D objects on locations, helping tourists see reconstructed historical buildings and scenes. It has launched its first augmented reality park and seeks investment to expand to more locations globally and increase paid users.
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.

Peter Bromley Leadership Org. Culture And Prosperity Final ReportFirstlightClearlight
Acclaimed research - the first of its kind in Canada and one of the first in the world - that measured the link among leadership, organizational culture and prosperity. The research reveals pathways for breakthroughs in performance, innovation, creativity, customer and employee allegiance, recruitment and retention, "teamwork," financial performance, stakeholder relations, governance, reputation, trust and other benchmarks for success - however measured.
The document discusses a study on the adoption and implementation of managerial innovations. Key findings include:
1. Managerial innovations are often adopted in response to external or internal triggers, not as "fads". However, organization-wide innovations can be disruptive and costly.
2. The need for an innovation should be separated from the chosen solution, and a robust business case tested through piloting is important before adoption.
3. Effective implementation involves adapting the innovation to the organization, tailored training, a champion, and linking the innovation to wider change programs. Slow implementation can result from factions within the organization or introducing innovations where existing ways work adequately.
The document summarizes a study examining the role of management accountants in integrating management accounting systems during mergers and acquisitions. The study found management accounting system integration occurs in four phases: pre-integration, integration planning, implementation options, and review/evaluation. It focuses on management accountants' task-based activities at each phase. Regardless of industry or strategy, similar pre-integration and planning activities are performed. Implementation depends on firm size and option chosen. The goal is to provide guidance for successful management accounting system integration in mergers and acquisitions.
I delivered this presentation on my cultural and vocational exchange in Australia in February and March 2007 to various Rotary Clubs in North Carolina. It includes slides of my incredible experiences with my team, local Rotary Clubs, and folks in and around Sydney.
This document discusses how finance transformations in large organizations have improved efficiency and decision making through better information and business partnerships. However, it notes that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have been less likely to transform their finance functions in similar ways. As SMEs are important for job growth, missing opportunities to utilize management accountants could hinder economic recovery. The report aims to understand how SME finance is changing and identify best practices, drawing on interviews with employers and accountants working in SMEs. Key areas discussed include the evolving roles of accountants, improving efficiency while continuing to invest, demands for better management information, influencing decision making, and people development implications.
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.
This document introduces OpenStreetMap (OSM), a free editable map of the world. OSM data is collected through contributions from mappers and is more frequently updated than proprietary map providers. It can be used for various activities beyond just driving like hiking and boating. The data is openly licensed and raw GPS traces can also be accessed. Many organizations have used OSM for humanitarian mapping projects in places like Gaza, Kenya, and Haiti after natural disasters. Individuals can contribute by tracing aerial imagery, recording locations, or attending mapping parties. Data is represented as nodes, ways, and relations which can be tagged with custom keys and values.

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
Presentation I gave at the Denver OpenStreetMap meetup in June 2011. A bit of something for everyone - some intro slides for newbies and assorted examples of (mainly) new and interesting applications, data usage and development tools.
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.
This document provides an introduction to OpenStreetMap (OSM), including how it works, its data format and collection methods, editing map data, and examples of implementation projects. OSM is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Volunteers contribute geographic data which is uploaded to a central database and further edited. Data is represented as nodes, ways and relations with tags providing attributes. The document outlines steps for mapping, available editors, and examples of using OSM for accessibility mapping and crisis response.
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.
Map kathmandu osm nepal presentation - publicRajeev Amatya
The document discusses an initiative called MapKathmandu that aims to create a detailed and free online map of the Kathmandu Valley using crowdsourcing. A group of students and professionals see a need for an improved map to help with disaster relief, navigation, and new location-based apps. Their plan is to map streets, buildings, landmarks and other points of interest in Kathmandu onto OpenStreetMap with the help of volunteers. They believe an open community mapping project is the best way to develop an accurate and up-to-date digital map of the area.
A talk about humanitarian mapping with OpenStreetMap. This was August 9th 2011 at an event organised by <a>Article25</a>, <a>sponge network</a>, and <a>RIBA knowledge communities</a>.
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.
Crowdsourcing involves outsourcing tasks traditionally performed by employees to a large group of people through an open call. It has been used historically in projects like the Audubon Christmas Bird Count and currently in initiatives like Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, and Galaxy Zoo. Crowdsourcing can engage citizens in scientific research and humanitarian mapping. While errors may occur, breaking projects into small tasks and recognizing contributions can lead to successful crowdsourcing. It has potential applications for hydrography, maritime safety reporting, and engaging various groups like pleasure boaters and professional mariners.
The document is an introduction to OpenStreetMap presented by David Dean. It discusses that OpenStreetMap is free geographic data that can be used for various purposes and is editable through a wiki-like interface. OpenStreetMap data is updated more rapidly than proprietary map providers and includes data beyond just roads. The presentation highlights how OpenStreetMap has been used for humanitarian purposes, such as creating maps of Kibera, Kenya and mapping efforts after the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It encourages participants to help map by tracing imagery, collecting real world data, reporting issues, or organizing mapping parties.
This document summarizes a discussion on neocartography and crowdsourcing. It discusses how neocartographers may not have traditional mapping backgrounds and use open data and tools. It also discusses how crowdsourcing is changing geospatial data by sourcing tasks to communities through open calls. Examples are given of crowdsourced mapping projects for disasters. Cloud computing is allowing maps to be created and shared online. Overall it explores how new mapping approaches are emerging through open data and participation.

5. Why maps?
“Because maps are a visual tool for sharing information
with others. Because they can be produced by many
people and combined together to tell stories about complex
relationships. Because maps are never finished and only
tell part of a story that can constantly be expanded upon.
Because power exists in space, struggle exists in space and
we exist in space. Because we cannot know where we are
going if we do not know where we are from.”
- Notes for a People’s Atlas of Chicago

14. Why Mapping?
“ Certainly we wanted to use the mapping to help
us figure out what a neighborhood was, but we also
wanted to use the mapping as a kind of
organizational tool, as a way of bringing the
neighborhood together and helping it to see itself.”
- Denis Wood, The Power of Maps

21. Norman Dennison, director of Geographers' A-Z Map
Company, confirms that Lye Close is a lie, which will now
be removed. quot;The idea is to put something on the map to
protect copyright,quot; he says. quot;We try to put it in an area or
a part of a road which would not be misleading to the
ordinary person in the street. They have been put in out-
of-the-way places.quot;

22. How accessible are current maps?
• Costly
• Closed
• Often out of date

25. A thought...
“If you don’t make [lower-resolution mapping data] publicly
available, there will be people with their cars and GPS
devices, driving around with their laptops .. They will be
cataloguing every lane, and enjoying it, driving 4×4s behind
your farm at the dead of night. There will, if necessary, be a
grass-roots remapping.”
Tim Berners-Lee

27. quot;OpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating
and providing free geographic data such as street maps to
anyone who wants them.quot;

35. “You could have a community capability where you
took the GPS data of people driving around and
started to see, oh, there’s a new road that we don’t
have, a new route .. And so that data eventually should
just come from the community with the right software
infrastructure.”
- Bill Gates

this is then an integrated map... tah-dah!
red is one day
blue is another day
black is the compilation
Cabspotting did this for San Francisco
(note for us) match this up with a map of london
this has been done for every major city in the world now.
to position in three dimensions, you need at least 4 transmitters
the distance each transmission travels through the atmosphere (at different angles depending on where the satellite is and the direction it is traveling around the earth

this slide is great because it shows the details of the central area but then on the left you can see there are sections of town not yet done
like wikipedia in the early days the bookends were finished first, then the volumes were filled out.
all this was marked with gps, they’ve even marked each individual bus stop
