Mapillary people in SF this Sunday

[Philip Neustrom]

Very cool that Mapillary people will be in SF! I’m actually in LA this weekend, but would otherwise loved to have made it. I’m forwarding this message to the SF LocalWiki mailing list in the hopes someone can make it!

Maybe this sounds interesting/relevant to some of you! http://www.meetup.com/Mapillary-worldwide-meetups/events/220165330/?gj=rcs.a&a=co2.a_grp&rv=rcs.a

I made a crowdsourced photography game called PhotoCity several years ago (http://www.photocitygame.com/, http://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/photocity/), and watching LocalWiki's latest phases of evolution and the rise of other citizen crowdsourcing efforts like Mapillary has inspired me to work on PhotoCity again.
