+[[!meta title="Mapping Real Treasure - Maptime Southampton June"]]
+
+[[!img poster.jpg size="x500" align="right"]]
+
+The last event in Southampton last week was the [[!taglink Maptime]]
+Southampton June meetup. This was a joint event organised by Charlie (who
+regularly organises Maptime Southampton) and Rebecca Kinge who I believe runs
+[[Dangerous Ideas Southampton|http://www.dangerousideassouthampton.org.uk/]].
+
+The event, [[Mapping Real
+Treasure|http://www.dangerousideassouthampton.org.uk/blog/10-june-15-mapping/]]
+features some introductions from Charlie and Rebecca, and then several small
+talks from various interesting people, and myself.
+
+Other talks included a map of [[fruit trees|https://fallingfruit.org/]],
+[[Placebook|http://theplacebook.org.uk/]], some work by the University of
+Southampton and SUSU relating to students and local businesses from [[Julia
+Kendal|http://www.southampton.ac.uk/engineering/about/staff/jh1f11.page]],
+Chris Gutteridge's recent [[Minecraft/OpenStreetMap/Open Data
+project|https://twitter.com/cgutteridge/status/607686009191571456]], and some
+very cool OpenStreetMap jigsaw pieces from Rebecca's husband (whose name I
+cannot remember/find).
+
+The [[slides|projects/osm/osm-intro/osm-intro/index.html]] ([[git
+repository|http://git.cbaines.net/osm-intro/]]) for my talk are
+available. The aim was to give a brief introduction to what [[!taglink
+OpenStreetMap]] is, particularly mentioning interesting things like the
+[[Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team|http://hotosm.org/]].
+
+I was not quite expecting to be presenting to such a large (~50 people!) varied
+audience (age and gender). In hindsight, I should have probably done a better
+_sell_ of OSM, rather than the talk I gave, which was more technical in nature.
+I ended up talking more on the nature of OSM being a digital map, consisting of
+data, and skipping over the slides I had on editing OSM, I did however demo
+using iD at the end of the presentation (although I should have perhaps had
+this as a bigger part).
+
+Towards the end of the presentation, I discussed the legal side of OSM, in
+terms of the copyright of the data, and the licensing. Although, again I am
+unsure if I approached this issue correctly, I think I should have probably
+given examples of what you can do with OSM, and then related this back to the
+license and copyright.
+
+I should probably also mention the Maptime May meetup, where I ran a smaller
+workshop on OpenStreetMap and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. For this I
+wrote two presentations, one for
+[[OSM|projects/osm/osm-introductory-workshop/]] and the other specifically for
+[[HOT|projects/osm/hot-introductory-workshop/]]. The shorter presentation I
+gave recently was adapted from these two presentations.
