[Talk-in] Fwd: Historical OSM Hangout: 2013 01 09

[Jeff Meyer]

Hello -

Happy New Year!

My apologies for cross-posting, but I'm very interested in getting
participation in Historical OSM from around the world.

If there is anyone interested in mapping historical locations using the OSM
stack, please join us for the Hangout listed below, or let me know if you
have any questions. You can learn a little more about the project at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM-Historic

Regards,
Jeff

The next Historical OSM hangout will be held on 9 January 2013 at 9am
Seattle time, 5pm London time. Apologies to those on the other side of the
planet - we can shift the schedule on the next go-round.

Topics will include:
- Progress on getting the HO sandbox up and running - hopefully, we'll have
the HO rails port & a tile server of some sort running by then.
  -- hosm.gwhat.org (the rails port for HO) is temporarily down while I
mess around with getting the baseline planet straightened out
  -- There's a crude outline of the steps for generating the baseline
planet at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Historical_Sandbox#Base_Planet_Setup(this
needs to be cleaned up, for sure)
- Suggestions from the community for initial historical mapping focus areas
- if we can divide up the world into a variety of different projects - e.g.
various locations at various points in time, with no overlapping areas,
then we won't have to solve the issue of time-enabling tools out of the
gate.

Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks,
Jeff
