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:

  1. ‘The Map’ — http://www.openstreetmap.org  . It supports routing now, too.
  2. QGIS, an open GIS manager. It's rather good — http://qgis.org/
  3. The OSM Wiki; ridiculously complete documentation: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/
  4. OSM Help Stack Exchange-style question/answer: https://help.openstreetmap.org/
  5. All of the OSM stats! — https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats
  6. Toronto map growth animation — http://www.geofabrik.de/gallery/history/index.html#toronto
  7. Crowdsourced geocoding (+ lawsuit from Canada Post) — http://geocoder.ca/
  8. Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL) — http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/
  9. Canada’s new Open Government portal — http://open.canada.ca
    related: Toronto Open Data — http://toronto.ca/open

  10. CIPPIC Open Licensing Project (CLIP) — http://clipol.org/
  11. Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [HOT] — http://hotosm.org/
  12. OpenCycleMap — http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/43.6666/-79.3785&layers=C
  13. The rather wonderful uMaphttps://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: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Toronto/

Best Wishes, and it was great to meet you all again,
