Hi fellow geowankers, The price to attend State of the Map <http://stateofthemap.us> - the OpenStreetMap conference coming to Portland OR October 13-14 - is set to increase this Sunday (9/15), so if you plan to come register now for just $80 ($50 for OSM US chapter members). If you're headed out that way for the NACIS <http://www.nacis.org/> cartography conference, come a little early for some more mapping fun!
OpenStreetMap <http://openstreetmap.org/> comes up a lot at our meetups, and this event will be a great opportunity to continue those conversations, see how people are using it in their work, and learn techniques for working with and contributing to it. People of all skill levels and backgrounds are welcome, and there will be several sessions geared to newcomers to OpenStreetMap, including a hands on introductory workshop. Other highlights include: - Steve Coast, the founder of OpenStreetMap, will kick off the conference with a keynote presentation. - Trimet, Portland’s public transportation service agency, will talk about how OpenStreetMap data powers their trip planner. - Foursquare and Flickr will talk about how and why they use OpenStreetMap. - The World Bank will talk about its work using OSM to help build more resilient communities. - The National Park service will show off its new basemap. - Community leaders working in Portland, Macon GA, and Indonesia will present on their communities and what they're doing locally. More details on the conference and registration are at stateofthemap.us. Stay tuned for the full schedule, due out in the next few days.
