Hi all — thanks so much for coming out the other
night. Thanks to Scott, Myles and the cast of 10002s
who make GTALUG happen.
Rather than post my presentation, which was kind of light on
detail, I thought I'd post some of the most useful but
harder-to-remember links I brought up:
- ‘The Map’ — http://www.openstreetmap.org . It
supports routing now, too.
- QGIS, an open GIS manager. It's rather good —
http://qgis.org/
- The OSM Wiki; ridiculously complete
documentation: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/
- OSM Help Stack Exchange-style question/answer:
https://help.openstreetmap.org/
- All of the OSM stats! —
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats
- Toronto map growth animation —
http://www.geofabrik.de/gallery/history/index.html#toronto
- Crowdsourced geocoding (+ lawsuit from Canada
Post) — http://geocoder.ca/
- Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL)
— http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/
- Canada’s new Open Government portal —
http://open.canada.ca
related: Toronto Open Data — http://toronto.ca/open
- CIPPIC Open Licensing Project (CLIP) —
http://clipol.org/
- Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [HOT] —
http://hotosm.org/
- OpenCycleMap —
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/43.6666/-79.3785&layers=C
- The rather wonderful uMap —
https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/
uMap might be a decent way of mapping out some
dinner choices pre GTALUG meetings.
There's a monthly OSM Meetup, and also #maptime, the
web mapping meetup. Both are linked here:

Best Wishes, and it was great to meet you all again,
Stewart
(who, not surprisingly, is on OpenStreetMap as scruss.)
