[[!meta title="Mapping Real Treasure - Maptime Southampton June"]]
[[!img poster.jpg size="x500" align="right"]]
My 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/]]
featured 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|https://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.
