Presentation: How to use OpenStreetMap Data

[Richard Weait]

Dear All,

The monthly meeting of Toronto area OpenStreetMap Enthusiasts (Mappy Hour) is always a laugh-riot of Open Data Goodness, Geo Expertise and baseless but entertaining rumours.  Come and join the fun. 

In addition to the usual ad-hoc discussion and extensive question and answer period, this month we've added a formal presentation! 

How to use OpenStreetMap Data

The presentation will cover the very basics of how to use OpenStreetMap data from

- What is it?

- What can I do with it?

- How do I go about that effectively?

- What are the cool kids doing with this data? 

The presentation is brief and aimed at all audiences, technical and non-technical, with an interest in learning more about OpenStreetMap data.  The goal is to cover some of the common questions, dispel some of the common misunderstandings, and provide a solid base for your follow up questions and discussion afterwards. 

Who: You!

Why: You love data and maps.

When: Monday, 13 May 2013.  6:30 pm

Where: C'est What, 67 Front Street East, near Church
