Toronto OSM Mapping Weekend Blitz

linuxcaffe hosts the second Toronto Mapping weekend for OpenStreetMap. Come along and participate as we extend and improve the wiki-map of Toronto.

We'll have tutorials for beginners and lots of opportunity to map and contribute.

Bring your GPS and your favorite method of transportation.

Friday night we'll have an introduction to OSM presentation and discussion at linuxcaffe. If you are curious about OSM and want to find out more, this is the place to be. You'll be all set to start mapping with the rest of us on Saturday morning. We'll also organize "who will map where?" so that we don't needlessly duplicate our efforts.

We'll go mapping Saturday and Sunday divided roughly into morning and afternoon sessions. There will be a second intro to OSM presentation on Saturday at 11:00 am for those who are interested. Even those late-starters will be able to participate in some of the mapping.

Saturday night we'll meet for dinner and discussion at LinuxCaffe, and to edit combine and upload our maps. And to build the required collective mapping party video. Much fun will be had by all.

Mapping will continue on Sunday and we'll wrap up Sunday night either at LinuxCaffe or by email as determined by folks on Saturday.

We can map on foot, bicycle, roller skates or automobile, weather permitting. So much of Toronto has yet to be mapped that most anything that catches the interest of a participant will be a worthwhile addition to OpenStreetMap. Want to map the area you grew up in? Do it. Fancy adding the Martin Goodman bicycle trail? Do it. A large portion of Scarborough? Fantastic. Have an urge to mark all of the best nightclubs? Super.
