[Historic] OSM Historic session at SOTM USA in Portland

[Jeff Meyer]

Hey team -

SOTM USA selected my proposal for a session on online time machines - w00t!

Anyone interested in helping out / have suggestions of things I should be
sure to cover?

I'd like to use this 25 minutes to highlight some of the objectives of OHM
& the issues we've started to identify on this list.
I'm also thinking of a perspective of "What's happened since Frankie
Roberto's last pitch?"

Thanks!
Jeff


Original submission:

# OSM and Online Time Machines

OSM has focused primarily on the here and now, but it provides a great
infrastructure and foundation for the creation and collection of historic
information. This presentation will review:

- Past efforts at using OSM to record historic information & lessons learned
- The beloved start_date and end_date tags
- Temporal rendering and storytelling challenges
- Current historic storytelling applications that could consume OSM
historic data
- Establishment of a historic OSM sandbox environment
