So Black Rock City is mapped on OpenStreetMap... twice. And both are old
versions (the city as it was in 2008 and 2009). Anyone know why this is?
Should the two old cities be deleted and replaced with the 2013 city?
I have a feeling that this could be a fun publicity opportunity for OSM, if
we're
I only know a little about Burning Man (seriously, just what I read in Cory
Doctorow's Homeland), but mapping BRC makes sense to me.
Is it on the exact same location every year? In that case it seems like it
would make sense to update the map annually. If they are on different parts
of the
Just as a note of interest, on my way to SOTMUS this year in San Francisco,
I'm pretty sure we flew over Black Rock City. I took some pictures out of
the plane window:

Black Rock City moves slightly each year, to minimize impact on any particular
spot in the playa. The streets are also given new names, and the city expands
to accommodate additional population growth. It's effectively a totally new
geography each time.
Mikel has been involved in the project
Hi All,
Mikel and I did the original mapping, and its now a few years out of
date. I have access to the data for this year, but its always a
sensitive topic about when it can be released. Let me do a little bit
of research and report back in a few days.

Do we have shapefiles for previous years? Even if we can't do 2013 yet it
might be fun to work on the last couple of years.

I'm almost certain that Mikel was involved in one, or both of those '08/'09
efforts to map Black Rock City. Worth contacting him about what it would
take to re-do it for 2013.

I believe we have data all the way back to 2006 and have the
information needed to construct them for past years all the way back
to the first year in the desert. Kathleen, you can follow up with
Andrew Johnstone and...@adjohnstone.com as he is closest to the BRC
org and can help track that stuff
He was certainly involved back then, but like me, his interest in
BM/BRC has dropped off a bit. I've connected Migurski with the people
in the Bay Area that have all the data and hoping he can help get
everything together so it can go into the map.

I'd love to help with this, but I'm not much of a burner (first last: 2001)
so I won't be able to follow up. Sorry!

No worries, I will see if I can get the data together and pass it off
to someone that can do something with it. Potentially Mikel.

Not this year, but I have been 11 times total. First year: 1995. I
