Alan McConchie at the October MaptimeYVR Meeting!

Alan McConchie of Stamen Design and #MaptimeSF will be in our fair city on October 21! How cool is that?

Alan will give a talk on the Anatomy of a Web Map, and will be on hand to answer any questions you have on all things mapping.

September Meetup Cancelled

Because of a scheduling conflict, our Tuesday, September 30 meetup has been cancelled. We’ll send out word when we have a new date and time. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, and hope to see you at the next #MaptimeYVR meetup!

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.

Maptime Vancouver September Meetup

We have a date! We have space!

Date - Tuesday, September 9, 2014

Time - 6:30 - 8:00pm

Location - BC Libraries Cooperative, 605 Robson Street, Suite 850

Help us get @maptimeVAN off to a great start! The agenda is up to you, but I thought it would be good to start off with some basic info: how often do we want to meet (weekly or monthly), intros, and an overview of all the fun geo/mappy stuff happening in Vancouver. If there’s time, I (Cecily) will do a presentation on OpenStreetMap 101.

Where we’ll go next is up to you! If you have questions, contact @skeskali or @maptimeVAN on Twitter.
