In case I missed any of the local mappers in my ITO World search, you're invited to...
TriMet, Portland's regional transportation agency, is holding a Meet & Greet > for local OSM Mappers: > > Friday May 13, 2011 > 4:00pm - 6:00pm PST > TriMet Center Street Administration Building > 4012 SE 17th Ave. > Portland, OR 97202 > > Why? > • Meet other local OSM Mappers and the PSU students that are working on OSM > improvements in the 4-county regional area. > • Observe our OSM editing process first hand and provide feedback: it is a > manual and labor intensive process, it is not a data import. We are using > up-to-date regional jurisdictional data and 6-inch ortho-rectified digital > imagery flown in August 2010 as a reference with permission from the > sources. > • Learn why we chose to invest in OSM and the community, rather than a > proprietary mapping solution. > • See a sneak preview of the Open Trip Planner, TriMet's new open source > multi-modal trip planner scheduled for release in Fall, and meet the > developers involved in the project. > • Explore opportunities for collaboration and on-going maintenance (ex: > local cities and counties can make street data available to the OSM > community). > > Using http://www.itoworld.com/static/osm_mapper.html, we were able to find > some past and present active mappers for the Metro region. > > Let us know if this time doesn't work for you, or if you are not local but > interested - we can schedule a webinar or make other arrangements. > > Cheers, > > Bibiana McHugh (manager), PJ Houser, Betsy Breyer, Grant Humphries, and > Melelani Sax-Barnett > TriMet, GIS and Location-Based Services > -- PJ Houser Trimet GIS intern, 503-962-5711 (office)
