** About OpenStreetMap
------------------------------------------------------------
OpenStreetMap is a collaboratively built free map of the world, with simple
wiki-like editing; think ‘Wikipedia’, but for maps. The result is highly
detailed digital maps, created and edited by local communities, that are free
to reproduce without the normal commercial restrictions. It's a fun project to
get involved with; you'll discover how maps are made and uncover the
geographical secrets of your neighbourhood.
Volunteers from all around Brisbane have already begun mapping the roads,
footpaths and cycleways across the city, but now we need your help to improve
our map by adding street and building details and amenities such as
restaurants, parks, playgrounds and shops.
** The Event
------------------------------------------------------------
Participants will be welcome to map however and wherever they want, but here
are a few suggestions for things that other mappers like to collect:
Missing streets, footpaths and cycleways Missing street names Missing building
details Missing street facilities (traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, speed
bumps, etc.) Missing reserves, parks, schools and child-care centres Missing
amenities (water fountains, toilets, playgrounds, seats, shelters, etc.)
Details of shops/restaurants/pubs
However, if you aren't sure what you can do, we'll be happy to provide ideas
and help get you started. If you have a GPS device, including a GPS-enabled
phone, bring it along, but you don’t need anything special to map - just a pen
and paper will do. Blank maps for note-taking can easily be made available if
prior notice is provided.
