:..>OpenStreetMap is a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world and is a prominent example of volunteered geographic information. Created by Steve Coast in the UK in 2004, it was inspired by the success of Wikipedia and the predominance of proprietary map data in the UK and elsewhere. Since then, it has grown to over 2 million registered users. This is a crash course in collecting data using manual survey, GPS devices, aerial photography and other free sources. We will also go over the OSM editing suits id, Potlatch, JSOM and GNOME Maps along with the overal Open Street Cam resource website. Afterwards our instructors and DEFCON 201 Members will go directly into the Mapathon Open Workshop!
