I was at State of the Map US all weekend (Oct 13-14, 2012). Many wonderful presentations on OSM, check out the notes especially on storytelling and historical maps, which hold lessons and collaboration suggestions for us as we review map annotation.

##Beyond Base Maps: Beautiful Thematic Maps##
maciaktj@gvsu.edu
works for community research institute, MAPAS 2.0
johnson center community research institute, in grand rapids
mapnik for thematic maps..
* used tilecache to hold images, OGCServer in Mapnik
NNIP national Neighborhood Indicators partnership
pull data from NNIP
sheela martin at PSU, open indicators
###Open Indicators Consortium###
Weave "Web-based Analysis and Visualization Environment
integrates bar charts too
* downfall-- uses flash
* moving to open layers
end result: able to drop thematic data below OSM streets!

##Flightstats, showing airports, weather, and plane tracks##

##Using OSM to build a National Park Service base Map##
Mamata K. Akela
builds basemaps with bing, esri, google, mapbox
printed graphical products still not in GIS system
using Inkscape for icons! yay open source graphics!
working to partner with OSM and create NPS specific tags to limit displays to managed trails (for liability)
@npmap
@mamataakella
-----------------------------------------------
##maps as storytelling devices within your CMS##
sean larkin
ThinkShout, Inc. Portland-based, lots of Drupal
client: [The Intertwine Alliance](http://theintertwine.org)
use leaflet for tiles
built custom layers, drupal metadata and slideshows.
"an adventure is a collection of parks and trails. can combine parks and trails in their adventure, add photos and text."
maps in the sidebar,
stack:
drupal site, leaflet, mapbox tiles, drupal vector data
drupals's database abstraction layer doesn't support geo-extensions...
-------------------------------------
##it all starts with an editor##
richard@systemeD.net
by default, potlatch, databse postgreSQL, renderer, Mapnik
improve usability by banning Potlatch, everything that's not JOSM
"we need more germans"
"Along the pike" how to add cycleways in Potlatch 2
* most people have never used a vector graphics app
Merkaartor, cut down JOSM
Potlatch-- name comes from the newsletter of french anarchists called the letterist international
now looking at Dojo for editing, looking for "modeless UI", but interested in a "tutorial mode"
###don't code? our documentation is terrible, please help!###
----------------------------------------
##Historical Mapping##
Martin Gilbert
similar: HOT, OSMBuildings, Oakland crimespotting, Pleades, pelagios, meograph, pastmapper
soylent problem, history is people
Mikel Maron has started OSM-Historical community, building tags and advice
###"Frankie Roberto's Deck is te word on OSM history tags for Manchester"###
"The playa on OSM Mikel Maron"
ESRI puts state lines in their basemap... not helpful historically
San francisco on Pastmapper, OldSF.org
geoCommons.org , Civil War battles
danvk.org historic maps
mapstory.org
gecon.yale. another dataset.
-----------------------------------------------------
##make maps into objects##
Nikki from Softcities.net
"mapkins" and blanket maps
-------------------------------------------------------
##Satellite Maps for Your App##
Nathan Vander Wilt
Argyle Tiles
argyl.es
ter
the goal: building the other tab, satellite data (actually aerial ras data)
###raster sources: ###
* NASA,
** small scale, km/px
* USDA
** large scale, 1m/px
* USGS
** partner, clearinghouse, up to 10cm/px
** nationalmap.gov
** sometimes university/county mirrors
* state/city agencies
** watch copyright!
* tiles.argyl.es/z/x/y
###how to tile make?###
GDAL... yikes.

###Humanitarian Openstreetmap Team HOT###
Kate Chapman
membership gives you first shot at work/internships
join the mailing list
LearnOSM.org
Hot "Vacations"
volunteer somewhere for 2-3 weeks and teach skills to new people
###World Bank Disaster Risk Management###
Robert Soden
"Global facility for disaster reduction and recovery"
resilience to natural hazards and climate change... understanding risk modeling, impact modeling
"disasters are the interactions of naturally produced hazards and societally produced hazards"
Causes: Weak social networks, poorly constructed settelments and infrastructure, environmental degredation, corrupt and dysfunctional government institutions
exposure: "buildings, populations, livestock"
hazard X exposure X vulnerability = Risk
Location and structural charateristics of societal assets for which we would like to reduce or transfer risk.
partners for data model validation: CAPRA UNISDR GEM USGS
community mapping and open data...
can we use OSM to record historical data and keep track of historic change?

##OSM & K-12 Ed##
Jeff Meyer
jeff@gwhat.org
@gwathistory
STEM drives the train, but Social Studies explain large-scale problems
###why OSM? Price is right...###
* multidisciplinary project-based activities
* OSM central data store makes a difference.
* creaton promotes long-term retention
* collaboration encouraged sevelopment of social interaction skills
