State of the Map Scotland 2013

Posted by Central America on 26 September 2013 in English.

Hi,

We have a good selection of speakers set up from outside the community on Friday for State of the map Scotland 2013 - Including International Rescue Corps.

We would like to see if there are volunteers that would like to present info for either the 20 minute of 10 minute sessions on the Saturday.

We are also having a hackday on Sunday at techcube and would welcome tutors to step forward to teach new folk basics as well as joining in on larger hacking projects

If there is any way of advertising the event that would also be useful.

Finally we will be looking for a different location for State of the map Scotland 2014. Preferably a little more north. Please let me know.

MakLab Glasgow 3D maps

Posted by Central America on 5 March 2013 in English.

MakLab in Glasgow

http://www.thelighthouse.co.uk/create/maklab/what-is-it

have invited us to use their premises for our meetings. At present they have a project where they are creating a 3D map of Glasgow so there is an overlay.

In Edinburgh, Hacklab have moved into their new place and may be a good place for us to meet. I have checked the pub and that seems to work well.

OK,

We have an excellent venue

We have 67 booked in and are expecting another 30 win walkins. We have an amazing set of speakers that are comming to meet with Openstreetmap.org because they realise how important it is becoming and share a common interest in the upsurge of interest in GIS

Speakers list here

We will have a small gallery of digital and paper maps, Spherical displays, and quadcopters.

It should be an excellent event, I hope you can make it
