[Talk-us] Portland, Oregon & surrounding areas - OSM mappers

[PJ Houser]

In case I missed any of the local mappers in my ITO World search, you're
invited to...

TriMet, Portland's regional transportation agency, is holding a Meet & Greet
> for local OSM Mappers:
>
>      Friday May 13, 2011
>      4:00pm - 6:00pm PST
>      TriMet Center Street Administration Building
>      4012 SE 17th Ave.
>      Portland, OR  97202
>
> Why?
> • Meet other local OSM Mappers and the PSU students that are working on OSM
> improvements in the 4-county regional area.
> • Observe our OSM editing process first hand and provide feedback:  it is a
> manual and labor intensive process, it is not a data import.  We are using
> up-to-date regional jurisdictional data and 6-inch ortho-rectified digital
> imagery flown in August 2010 as a reference with permission from the
> sources.
> • Learn why we chose to invest in OSM and the community, rather than a
> proprietary mapping solution.
> • See a sneak preview of the Open Trip Planner, TriMet's new open source
> multi-modal trip planner scheduled for release in Fall, and meet the
> developers involved in the project.
> • Explore opportunities for collaboration and on-going maintenance (ex:
> local cities and counties can make street data available to the OSM
> community).
>
> Using http://www.itoworld.com/static/osm_mapper.html, we were able to find
> some past and present active mappers for the Metro region.
>
> Let us know if this time doesn't work for you, or if you are not local but
> interested - we can schedule a webinar or make other arrangements.
>
> Cheers,
>
> Bibiana McHugh (manager), PJ Houser, Betsy Breyer, Grant Humphries, and
> Melelani Sax-Barnett
