[Talk-ca] Carleton University Mapathon

Wed Nov 1 02:06:48 UTC 2017

I’ve created an Eventbrite page for the mapathon.

https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/carleton-university-building-canada-2020-openstreetmap-mapathon-tickets-39467928637?utm_term=eventurl_text

If you’re attending register here so I have an idea of how many people are attending.

Thanks!

Kent

I just found out that Wi-Fi shouldn't be a problem. My thesis supervisor said he has Wi-Fi setup in the room next door and we could use it.

Now to get the word out there!

Hi all!

So a room is booked for 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm on Friday, November 17 in the Carleton Loeb Building room A-200. 

I'm still working on the guest Wi-Fi access. If worse comes to worse.. I could probably log you in.

Tracey, would you be willing to look into room availability for Friday, Nov 17th?

John, I know that students can access Wi-Fi through their student accounts. They should have a guest access as well.

I'd go Friday then as making it easier for the students to attend should get a few more in and they are the target after all.  I don't think you need that many helpers unless the number of students is very high.

Those who aren't students will probably need wifi setting up.  An overhead projector with a laptop would be helpful.

The advantage of having it on a Friday would be that students would already be on campus.

I can make it work but mon-fri works better because the buses are easier.

Once you have a date let me know and I can check in on space.  THe ateium is grand, food is a monopoly situation, but if during the weekend we can work around stuff.

Setting a time would also be in order, but I imagine this has to be figured out based on availability of rooms

Thank you all for the responses!

I would like to have this during OSM Geoweek, but that week is approaching quickly. It would make sense to first designate a time and space to hold the Mapathon. I was thinking November 16th or 17th. This is after Nov. 14th event at the Royal Canadian Geographic Society where I believe Statistics Canada will be giving a presentation on their OSM project (https://twitter.com/CarletonDGES/status/920993927934574592).

I am very familiar with the Carleton campus, so Loeb building could be an option since it is the location of the Geography department. Tracey, I hear that Richcraft Hall is the nicest building on campus though. 😉 If anybody else is familiar with Carleton’s campus I’m open to location ideas.

Hello all!

I am a Masters of Science student in the Geography department at Carleton University studying Quality Assessment of OSM data for my thesis. I am also currently employed at Employment and Social Development Canada as a Geomatics Technician where I have been promoting the use of OSM data within the department. 

I discussed the idea of a possible mapathon at Carleton University with Statistics Canada, the Carleton Geography department and Mapbox. I am reaching out (similar to Tim’s post above) to find additional OSM mappers to assist us with the mapathon. I am fairly experienced with OSM myself but I have never led a mapathon event. I am aware of COMS2200 issues with contributions and do not want a repeat of this. 😊 I believe focusing on the OSM Canada Task Manager and rural/remote regions will help avoid poor contributions.

Any help is much appreciated!

Regards,

Kent
