Re: [Talk-ca] Ottawa Missing Map Event In November Planning
Do you have a confirmed venue with lots of wifi bandwidth? If its preinstalled JOSM its not too bad but going by other maperthons iD seems to be more demanding.

Re: [Talk-ca] Ottawa Missing Map Event In November Planning
Good point. How about a university? I have had great luck with those. I think that someone from Norman Patterson (Carleton) has been writing about HOT and OSM. Let us know John/Richard, is there a list that folks have on tech specs setting up Missing Maps? I know that Pete has been doing them often in London UK and could help if needed.

Re: [Talk-ca] Ottawa Missing Map Event In November Planning
IDRC as well might have some ideas perhaps? http://www.idrc.ca especially as follow up to their open data conference in Ottawa this year. Pete might well have some ideas of what the logistical requirements are. Does HOT have a mapathon planning guide that could be used? I know a lot of work has gone into training guides recently, trying to make them simpler and more relevant. Note to Richard if you have a lot of newcomers the difficulty is they want to get started right away, and experienced OSM mappers don't always read the project instructions to see what the HOT conventions are. Highways for example tend to use a subset of the OSM possibilities. Also iD is fairly new so many experienced OSM mappers such as myself don't know their way round it to assist newcomers.
