We’ll be holding our first official meetup at the Lexington Public Library, Central Library, Conference Room B. We’ll be starting at 6:45 PM with an opening presentation about maptime followed by introductions and a primer on the anatomy of a webmap. Bring your laptop and be ready to do some mapping! Whether you’re a map nerd who wants to learn about how all the cool webmaps you use work, a developer looking to explore the exciting geo-realm, or something else entirely, this meetup will be for you. We look forward to seeing you there!
Come help us celebrate OpenStreetMap’s 10th birthday by quite literally putting Lexington on the map! Bring an internet ready laptop and we’ll show you how to edit the world’s largest user-generated map. No experience necessary! Rumor has it there will be cake…
We are the Lexington chapter of Maptime. What is Maptime? Well, lots of people like maps. Some people know how to make them. Others have things they’d like to map, but don’t quite know how do it. The world of maps is so varied that a lot of people are in both camps. What Maptime seeks to achieve, through collaborative learning and exploration, is empowering people and organizations to make their own maps.
We all have something to learn. We also all have something to offer. Maptime meetup begins with talk on some aspect of mapping. It could be on some cool mapping platform, ways to find or gather spatial data, how maps even work…anything really! The talk is followed by independent or collaborative projects. It’s a great time to draw on the varied skill-sets and experiences of those at the meetup!
We’re in the process of nailing down meeting venue and exact start-date. Once that is figured out, we’ll update y’all. If you know of a place that might be able to accomidate a monthly/bi-monthly meeting, feel free to contact on Twitter.
