The State of the Map US schedule is out, and our team has some sweet sessions:
- Drone Imagery for OpenStreetMap– Baptiste Tripard from Sensefly and Bobby Sudekum will present on how imagery from UAVs open up new mapping possibilities for OpenStreetMap. See Bobby’s post on “Drone Imagery for OpenStreetMap” for a preview.
- More Open – Why It’s Time To Drop Share-Alike– Alex Barth will speak on making OpenStreetMap more open, specifically how the data and community would benefit from a liberal license and the need to remove all limitations of using OpenStreetMap as raw data.
- Implementing Change in OpenStreetMap– John Firebaugh will talk on iterative work in an open community, drawing from his work on the new editor for OpenStreetMap and a new OpenStreetMap.org design.
- Designing OpenStreetMap– Nicki Dlugash will present on how to design crazy maps with OSM, specifically sharing design techniques used by foursquare, Mozilla and the Financial Times– all based on OpenStreetMap data.
- Processing OpenStreetMap Into Vector Tiles– Dane Springmeyer will show our latest progress with vector tiles unlocking exciting features like seamlessly combining OpenStreetMap data with vectorized terrain data.
