Maptime

First MaptimeYVR Meetup A Success

It was great to hang out with a group of map lovers this week! Many thanks to the BC Libraries Cooperative for loaning us the space for the next 10 weeks - we literally couldn’t do this without them.

We hammered out a few details about how the group would run:

  • We’re going to meet every 3-4 weeks to start; weekly meetings as needed
  • We’ll start by having a few workshops on how to use mapping tools, Github, and other resources
  • We talked about alternate locations
    • Along the Broadway corridor?
    • Meeting at a pub or restaurant?
    • Alternate day of the week?

For now, we’re going to stick with the BC Libraries Coop office on Tuesday nights. If there’s a change, we’ll note it here.

Maptime is for everyone regardless of background, technical skill. Maptime is for you! We welcome anyone wanting to share, learn, and teach anything related to cartography. We’d love to see your face at our next meetup, Tuesday, September 30 at 6:30 pm. Space is limited to 15 seats, so be sure to register to save your spot.
