March Mapping Madness | Austin, TX

[Jennifer Hudon]

As part of Public Lab's March Mapping Madness, a few of us plan to host an aerial mapping meet up on Sunday, March 11th from 2:30PM to 4:00PM on the corner of East Campus Drive and 23rd Street on UT's Campus. It will be held shortly after Public Lab's SXSW Panel at the AT&T Conference Center at 12:30PM. This will be a great opportunity to test-drive balloon and/or kite mapping. And if you're already familiar with aerial mapping, bring your experience because there will be room for collaboration. 

We updated the Public Lab wiki page for Austin, so feel free to add your name if you or anyone you know wants to join us. My cell is 978-302-7908, but I'm just as easy to get in contact via email. I've additionally cced the entire SXSW panel, as we'll be working together to facilitate the meet up. 

Let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to talking with you more, and hopefully seeing you on Sunday.

Best,

Jen

Do you know if there is anyone doing stuff like this closer to Dallas?

Thanks,

Hi Tyler, we don't have any meet-ups planned for Dallas during March, but if you're interested in organizing one, we can help out with coordination. There are people beginning to work with Public Lab tools in Houston and Austin as well who would be good to connect you with if you're interested.

Shannon,

I have been in the group for about a year and I did some photogrammetry and remote sensing for grad school, but I have never actually done any kite or balloon flights and I would really like to learn by actually doing it with other people. I will be in Houston in the Fall and I am in Dallas until June. Please let me know the people you think I should contact to get involved. 

Thanks,

Tyler
