Hello everyone, I am doing a project in my GIS class that involves working
with a shape file and exporting to a KML file. I have been going to Burning
Man for the past few years now and thought it would be interesting to work
with data from BM. I stumbled across this discussion and now instead of
First question, does anyone know where I can get shapefile data from past
Burning Man events?
You could contact the organizers or frequent participants ( there are
several list serves) and ask if anyone has any GPS traces or KML files.
Probabilistically, there may be some GIS attendee that

I have to say that I have very mixed feelings about Burning Man being in OSM.
While I think that it's interesting because the event is so large and
there's potential utility, there are two things that bring me a bit of
concern:
1. Based on past years, the data is added but not deleted. The event

Hi Rob
Let's talk. Lots of cool opportunities. I put the data from past years data up,
years ago. I'd like to get those years, and other years, available on an
archive tile server - mini site ... perhaps OpenHistoricalMap if we can get
that running again ... or just on it's own set of static
A bit off topic here, but all the tools for making and running an OSM
database are available and opensource.
I'm not sure if it is a good or bad idea for OSM but other layers of data
could be developed and stored on other servers. That would keep OSM
focused, but allow for more esoteric datasets

Should the two old cities be deleted and replaced with the 2013 city?

I only know a little about Burning Man (seriously, just what I read in Cory
Doctorow's Homeland), but mapping BRC makes sense to me.
Is it on the exact same location every year? In that case it seems like it
would make sense to update the map annually. If they are on different parts

Black Rock City moves slightly each year, to minimize impact on any particular
spot in the playa. The streets are also given new names, and the city expands
to accommodate additional population growth. It's effectively a totally new
geography each time.
Mikel has been involved in the project
Hi All,
Mikel and I did the original mapping, and its now a few years out of
date. I have access to the data for this year, but its always a
sensitive topic about when it can be released. Let me do a little bit
of research and report back in a few days.

Do we have shapefiles for previous years? Even if we can't do 2013 yet it
might be fun to work on the last couple of years.

I'm almost certain that Mikel was involved in one, or both of those '08/'09
efforts to map Black Rock City. Worth contacting him about what it would
take to re-do it for 2013.

I believe we have data all the way back to 2006 and have the
information needed to construct them for past years all the way back
to the first year in the desert. Kathleen, you can follow up with
Andrew Johnstone and...@adjohnstone.com as he is closest to the BRC
org and can help track that stuff
He was certainly involved back then, but like me, his interest in
BM/BRC has dropped off a bit. I've connected Migurski with the people
in the Bay Area that have all the data and hoping he can help get
everything together so it can go into the map.

I'd love to help with this, but I'm not much of a burner (first last: 2001)
so I won't be able to follow up. Sorry!

No worries, I will see if I can get the data together and pass it off
to someone that can do something with it. Potentially Mikel.
