DESCRIPTION:Monthly meeting of the open source GIS group PDX-OSGeo.&#13\;
 \n&#13\;\nDiscussion of all things spatial and open source. Tonight's gu
 est is Nick Martinelli who will speak to us about using CartoCSS and UTF
 Grids for collaborative mapping.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nFrom Nick's Description 
 of the project:&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWarning\, this talk is about cartographer
 s designing and building web applications. Tasked with making a mapping 
 application for internal business use\, we reached out for open source t
 ools that could be combined to produce a platform for collaborative mapp
 ing and data sharing. We used tools like Mapbox.js\, windshaft\, mapnik\
 , and PostGIS to build a web based application that allows its users to 
 create\, filter\, edit\, and share interactive maps and data with teams 
 or individuals. The presentation will take you through the challenges of
  building on FOSS\, and the importance of small group collaborative mapp
 ing. Highlights will be our efforts to use great\, but occasionally spar
 sely documented FOSS code and tools\, and the sometimes challenging chor
 e of making them play nice together. Also\, discussion of why we feel co
 llaborative editing and creation of dynamic maps is an important future 
 focus for web mapping applications. Last\, the product we ended up with\
 , and continue to develop for private use opens up the conversation abou
 t how to best give back to the FOSS community from the private sector.\n
