[Talk-GB] Spread the OSM message
OSMers, I would really like to showcase good work folk are doing with OSM data/maps at the Society of Cartographers conference. Would anyone like to pitch a presentation at the joint SoC/ICA conference in Glasgow this September. The following is the formal call for papers. Feel free to contact me if you wish to discuss possibilities. Also, Central Glasgow looks to be pretty well mapped, but some of the outlying areas could use some map-love. So, a mapping party could be incorporated or butted-up up to the conference if anyone fancies working with me on that. CALL FOR PAPERS: The 50th Society of Cartographers conference takes place from 31 Aug-2 Sept 2014 at the University of Glasgow. The afternoon session on Tuesday 2 Sept is to be a joint one, with the ICA Commission in Neocartography [http://neocartography.icaci.org/] joining with the SoC for the occasion. If you would like to offer a presentation as part of the programme at this event, please email a title and a 200 word abstract to ste...@mdx.ac.uk by Fri March 14th. The major themes of the session are: * Innovation in proprietary online mapping systems * Innovation with open source mapping services * Interesting map designs in the new milleau * Designing maps for mobile devices * Mapping from social media and crowdsourced data The programme committee will review proposals, and decisions relayed to all who have submitted by Fri 11 April. http://www.soc.org.uk/soc2014/program.html Cheers Steve Steve Chilton FSEDA, Teaching Fellow Lead Academic Developer Centre for Academic Practice Enhancement Middlesex University phone: 020 8411 5355 email: ste...@mdx.ac.uk Profile: http://www.middlesex.wikispaces.net/user/view/steve8 Blog: http://itsahill.wordpress.com/ Chair of the Society of Cartographers: http://www.soc.org.uk/ Chair of ICA Neocartography Commission: http://neocartography.icaci.org/ --- Please note that Middlesex University's preferred way of receiving all correspondence is via email in line with our Environmental Policy.

Hi, OpenGlasgow are working with Shawlands academy http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/55.83064/-4.28332 I have just been teaching the teachers how to use Openstreetmap. They are forming a project where they get the pupils to explore their community. It has just started but they have funding etc and should be finnished by the summer, I shall forward the details of the conference to them. I would be willing to join up for some Glasgow mapping.

I like to think a lot of the map data is 'hidden' in Glasgow. What we miss in buildings etc we make up for in bus routes, cycle parking and 3D tags :-P But yes, a mapping party is always appreciated! There's a fair few notes on the map just around the university which could make a nice break for attendees to look at? But if you want to pick an area and go map - that would be great. Put it on the wiki and get the local mappers can support. BTW There is a Glasgow OSM meetup is on the 18th August: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Scotland#Welcome Thanks, Tim > From: talk-gb-requ...@openstreetmap.org > Subject: Talk-GB Digest, Vol 89, Issue 15 > To: talk-gb@openstreetmap.org > Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 12:00:02 + > > Send Talk-GB mailing list submissions to > talk-gb@openstreetmap.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > talk-gb-requ...@openstreetmap.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > talk-gb-ow...@openstreetmap.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Talk-GB digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > >1.
