[Talk-us] Scholarships for Argentina

2014-09-17 Thread Alex Barth
OpenStreetMap US is supporting trips to State of the Map in Argentina (Nov
7 - 9) with a scholarship.

So if you're doing something awesome with OSM and looking for a couple of
bucks extra in your travel budget to make the trip work, this could be
literally your ticket.

We're allocating 60 % of the budget to women as part of our push to grow
diversity in the community.

Check out all the details on our blog post:

And help us spread the world. For instance by simply retweeting this:

Cheers and hope to see you in Argentina!!!

Re: [Talk-us] TIGER 2014 update

 you will need to figure out your state's FIPS code to figure out the
 state files of interest.

 You'll probably also want to find out the county FIPS code, so you can get
the data for a particular area of interest--statewide files can get a
little large! You can find the state and county codes through this Census
webpage: http://www.census.gov/geo/reference/codes/cou.html

 to use it.

  here is how much work is involved:

 1) find the shape file that covers your area on the TIGER site:

 ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2014/ROADS/

 you will need to figure out your state's FIPS code to figure out the
 state files of interest.

 2) install the JOSM plugin for loading shapefiles (i believe
 that the opendata plug in does this, it's been a while since
 i installed it.)

 3) learn to manage the layers stuff well enough to move things
 from one layer to another.
