Mapping – THATCamp Leadership 2013 http://leadership2013.thatcamp.org The Humanities and Technology Camp Wed, 02 Apr 2014 14:30:48 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.12 Geospatial Showcase http://leadership2013.thatcamp.org/2013/10/03/geospatial-showcase/ Thu, 03 Oct 2013 22:00:58 +0000 http://leadership2013.thatcamp.org/?p=223

I’d like to propose a show-and-tell session for people who are making maps or want to get started with them. Anyone who wants to participate can spend a few minutes showing a map they made—and preferably, actually rendering the map in front of everyone else. Hopefully we’ll have a diversity of mapping methods which will give us a quick overview of the possibilities. Then for the remainder of the session, we’ll talk about what was interesting in the maps we saw, and how to make them. Perhaps we’ll break up into smaller groups so that mapping masters can give impromptu tutorials to beginners. By bringing together all the mapmakers into one place, I hope people will also be able to find someone who has already solved some of the problems they’re facing.
