Last Minute Details & Tomorrow's Schedule

[David Riordan]

Amid the hyperventilation of last minute logistics, I wanted to get all of you the final details for tomorrow.

Here's our schedule:

Meet at The New York Public Library - Stephen A. Schwarzman Building at 9:30 am. You're going to want to enter from the 42nd st entrance. If you've got any issues with the guards (since we're not officially open to the public at that hour) call or text me [203.521.1222].

There will be signs pointing you to where we'll be hacking.

For our remote participants, we'll have an open Google Hangout both days. We'll set that up in the morning and send the link around. If it's not set up by the time you want to check in (since we'll be starting festivities around 9:45am EDT), send an email to the list and someone here will hook it up.

And here's tomorrow's schedule:

Schedule

Day 1 - June 4

9:30 am | Arrive at NYPL, Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (42nd St. entrance)

9:45 am | Welcome & orientation (tshirt disbursement seminar)

10:00 am | Intros & track breakouts

10:45 am | APIs & data tour (Gazzy, Repo, newspapers, NYC historical buildings, directories, photos)

Keep in mind we're kinda doing this in real time so bear with us as we inevitably experience a speed bump or two. But really it's not about us. This is about getting all of you together to help map out the future of historical geodata.

If you have any issues with logistics or whatever - call or text me [203.521.1222] and we'll make everything right. 

Rock on!

-Dave
