We run mapping parties which are events where anyone can come along, we lend a GPS and show you how to go out and do some mapping and get the data in to openstreetmap. We have one coming up in Denver 19/20 July. They are informal events with no explicit time commitment and often a social element / beer afterward.

About OpenStreetMap:

OpenStreetMap creates and provides free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. The project was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways.

"Society is being transformed by new maps and new mapping technology. Our mission is to help create a free forum for people to talk about, present, explore, and learn about projects that involve place."

What is WhereCamp PDX?

WhereCampPDX is a free unconference focusing on all things geographical and cartographical. This informal meeting of minds welcomes all geo-locative enthusiasts, anyone who asks "where am I" or feels the need to "know their place".

We share a vision of a fully transparent world where data is geographically relevant and just in time.

An unconference is a conference planned by the participants, we all convene together, plan sessions, and have break-outs into sessions. This gives everybody an opportunity to bring to the table the things that interest them the most and lets us talk about new topics that are still new and exploratory. Part of what is important to hearing new voices and getting new ideas is lowering barriers to participation - this event is free and it is driven by the participants.

What kinds of people and topics will be discussed?

This event is community driven and is what you make it. It provide cross pollination between many different kinds of folks from all walks of life. Topics may include remote sensing, geoinformatics, forestry and agriculture, food chain transparency, civil engineering, emergency disaster relief, urban planning, local search, context awareness, place hacking, social cartography, citizen journalism, locative gaming, psychogeography, locative art, and beyond. Expect to participate in conversations on the nature of place as described in pixels, with rays, on paper, and by social practice!

Join us in planning this year's WhereCampPDX, happening October 12th-14th.

WhereCampPDX is an annual unconference for all things related to geography, cartography, and how we interact with the world. Past topics have include strange maps, open source GIS tools, and geo-locative games.

We need your help to make this event happen! Please join us Wednesday to find out about volunteering, sponsoring, or otherwise participating in making this year's WhereCampPDX awesome.

This week we're meeting at the Lotus Room to check out the banquet room space as possible overflow for next week's kick-off party.

Tonight at MaptimeStJohns, we will review some compiled leaflet maps using several of the leaflet pluggins. We will go through some live custom examples using humangeo's dvf pluggin, we will use postgis and output geojson, geocsv and topojson to add to our leaflet maps, and also discuss some temporal mapping tools.

Bring your laptop with leaflet installed and a webserver available. Have a server scripting language such as php or python and postgressql/postgis installed. If you don't have a laptop, come anyway and you will be able to see these tools in action, as well as receive any materials handed out at the meetup. Bring a flash drive so you can take a copy of the data home.

LET'S GET TOGETHER AND MAP AT MAPTIMESTJOHNS!

We are meeting at Urban Airship this time while Esri gets settled in to their NEW office building (congrats!).

We have a couple quick demos and pres-itos lined up so bring your ideas, projects, and apps to share or hack on.

Programming Open Source Web Spatio-Temporal Mapping Visualizations, MapTimeStJohns, Tue, July 29, 7:30pm to 9:00pm, Anna Bannanas coffee shop, 8716 N Lombard St, Portland. Let's get together and map :) (We meet in the back room)

In June, we worked on creating a basic static map of floods with custom icons showing the size of the floods (a proportional symbol flood map). We went through a demo for using a slider to add amimation to a map... using the flood data it would allow users to see where and when the floods appeared.

In July, I'll bring a completed example of a proportional symbol animated slider flood map that we will review. In addition, we will add one or two other techniques for developing spatio-temporal web visualizations (in leaflet and open layers). Then we will begin using Postgresql/postgis to setup spatial databases, populate them and perform spatial analysis operations.One of our long term goals will be to eventually use data from a spatial database in dynamic spatio-temporal visualizations.

In July, bring your computer. If you have time prior to the meeting, load postgresql/postgis version 9.1 or later onto your computer.

Programming OS Web Spatio-temporal Mapping Visiualizations: Tues, Dec 30, 7:00pm, Anna Bananas St Johns, 8716 N. Lombard, Portland, Oregon (back room). This month we will continue to work with OpenStreetMap data and JOSM. We will edit OSM data and learn to download OSM data for use in our web visualizations.

Programming OS Web Spatio-temporal Mapping Visiualizations: Tues, May 27, 7:00pm, Anna Bananas St Johns, 8716 N. Lombard, Portland, Oregon (back room). This month we will continue to work with OpenStreetMap data, editing in JOSM and downloading data to qgis and making a desktop map. We will then begin the process adding the data to a web visualization.

MaptimePDX is excited to welcome John Gravois from Esri for November's meetup!

Come and check out some of Esri's free resources for publishing data, performing spatial analysis and creating websites to share your work.

We'll focus on:

• Introducing Esri Leaflet

• Fundamentals of JavaScript (variables, methods, events etc.)

• Q/A

This is a beginner friendly. Bring your laptop and questions.

Come hungry! Pizza provided by Esri.

Thank you to WeWork for providing the space!

Please RSVP

The Esri GeoDev Meetup is back again, and this time it is organized around a theme of biking! That means the intro, keynote, and lightning talks will all be focused on usages of GIS development within the context of biking and cycling.

Join us on Wednesday, April 3rd for this biking-themed meetup. Food and beverages will be provided.

This event is a social gathering for developers to discuss the latest in mapping, geo technology, geo services, web and mobile mapping apps, app design, map data or anything else related to solving real-world "geo/biking" problems.

Developers of all levels of expertise are welcome, from seasoned GIS professionals to those new to geospatial development.

Have you done research around or built a cool biking app recently that you'd like to show off? Submit a lightning talk! We'd love to see it!

• Meet fellow PDX techies.

• Show us what you got by demoing your application or framework.

• Make a name for yourself in presenting a cool new/interesting concept or idea.

• Impress others by sharing your experiences.

• Make BFFs for life by connecting with other developers!

• Win some cool Esri swag! (Mike and Eli are already hard at work conjuring up their best bike trivia.)

Here's what's on the agenda:

5:30 - 6:30 PM Registration and Social (Pizza and Beverages served)

6:30 - 7:30 PM Intro, Demo, and Keynote address

- Matthew Hampton of Portland Metro, "The History of Bike There! – Tyvek to Today"
- Christopher Moravec of Dymaptic, "AI Cycling Navigation: The Data and Beyond"

7:30 - 8:00 PM Lightning talks

8:00 - 8:30 PM Giveaway, Networking, and Social

A voucher for 1000 Service Credits will be given to everyone in attendance for their ArcGIS Online Developer Subscription

- There will be one giveaway of a DevSummit Registration for 2020.
