This meetup is intended to bring folks up to speed on what has been done for the OpenStreetMap mapping effort for CrisisCampPDX and other cities. We'll also have plenty of time to cover other OSM topics and future events.

A continuation of the Open Source GIS Unconference on Tuesday. GIS developers can come and do some coding or write documentation for whatever projects they dream up. Meanwhile, we will also be hosting a Crisis Camp where anyone can come and help update a map of Japan in the wake of the Sendai disaster. We will provide training to anyone who is new to Open Street Map editing.

Come join us for the second #editathon event of 2013, a weekend of mapping on April 20-21. All over the United States, we will be improving OpenStreetMap starting at 12 noon Eastern going until 6PM Pacific.

In Portland, we'll meet at noon on April 20th. At 1:00pm, we'll have a brief presentation introducing OpenStreetMap and the tools for editing it.

Then we'll start editing, either on your own or on one of our to-be-determined targets.

It's March Mapness!

I think we're going to do a Q&A session. We want to try and keep this one a little shorter so people can go to the Deviant Cartography exhibit (just a few blocks away): http://www.meetup.com/PDX-Creative-Coders/events/221334903/

Calling all mappers! There will be a group at the Esri Portland office this Friday evening helping with the Humanitarian OSM mapping efforts for the Nepal earthquake crisis.

Prior experience mapping, particularly in OpenStreetMap, is highly recommended and you will need your own laptop. Beginners are welcome to come, but we may have you run through some tutorials to get up to speed rather than work on the Nepal data.

Thank you Esri Portland for providing space!

This month's topic is Cartographic Design Principles.

Grant Humphries of Trimet will start your 2016 right with an OpenStreetMap 101 session! Come learn the basics of the "Wikipedia of maps" and get started mapping the places you love.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a free, editable map of the whole world that is being built by volunteers largely from scratch and released with an open-content license.

Please bring a computer as this will be a beginner friendly and hands-on Maptime.

Pizza and drinks will be provided by Esri and the space has been provided by WeWork.

Agenda:

• 6:00-6:15: Social time

Maaaappy New Year!

We will be joining forces with the Tableau User Meetup group this month to talk about mapping in Tableau!

Tableau is business intelligence software that allows anyone to easily connect to data, then visualize and create interactive, sharable dashboards. It's easy enough that any Excel user can learn it, but powerful enough to satisfy even the most complex analytical problems. Securely sharing your findings with others only takes seconds.

RSVP Here

Our presenters:

Brittany Brannon of Slalom Consulting and PK Kase of Oregon Department of Transportation. Brit and PK will lead us in a hands-on knowledge-share of their work with Tableau mapping.

What to bring:

1. Laptop

2. Free version of Tableau Public

3. Free Mapbox Account

Agenda

6:00 – Gather and settle in

6:10 – A few words from our groups and sponsor

6:20 – Mapping with Tableau – hands-on so bring your laptop

Tableau mapping 101

Introduction to using Mapbox with Tableau

Brief overview of using ArcGIS and Tableau

Tableau map examples

7:20 – Tableau Doctor

Great opportunity to ask any questions about mapping with Tableau!

7:40 – The best part – meet other Tableau users and map makers!

Stick around to continue the conversations started by our presentations.

We'll be heading to Pints Brewing (412 NW 5th Ave, Portland, OR 97209) afterwards for anyone that is interested.

Lots to cover so RSVP and get there early!

Get your Monday started on the good foot with our Maptime Social on Monday, April 4. We're joining up with ORURISA's Young Professionals and GIS In Action attendees for a conference happy hour(s).

Maptime is a literally a time to chat about maps. Whether you're a beginner getting your bearings with GIS or building apps for the web, Maptime is for anyone and everyone curious about the latest in mapping technologies.
