Lots of historic mapping talk at this weekend's SotM US in PDX.<br><br>For those of you unable to attend, here are some items that were discussed - others, please add to items I've missed:<br><br>- Lots of great attendees from this list, which made for some excellent conversation<br>
- There appears to be an interest in putting together historic base maps for some potential test cases, using a Rails port instance (a parallel version of OSM) somewhere. I'm going to start going through the process of trying to set that up shortly... : ) I believe Flickr (Eric Gelinas) & MapStory.org (Alyssa Wright), at a minimum, are interested tile consumers. I believe we have some contacts at History Pin, as well. Any advice on putting together a plan for this would be great. Bartring any input, I'll put together a (naive) rough set of next steps in the near future. <br>
- I posted my slides on OSM & Online Time Machines at <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/gwhathistory/osm-and-online-time-machines-sotm-us-2012-pdx" target="_blank">http://www.slideshare.net/gwhathistory/osm-and-online-time-machines-sotm-us-2012-pdx</a><br>
- Eric showed off Flickr already doing some time-based basemap variations for Burning Man <br clear="all"><br>Any thoughts on starting to build out a Historic section of the Wiki? Good/bad?<br><br>Thanks,<div>Jeff<br><br>
