There’s a new OpenStreetMap meetup group in town. Join us for an introductory workshop on July 16, 7pm in the Bark Room. http://www.meetup.com/osm-nyc/

For a subsequent meetup, we’re planning to cover ways to get data in — and data out — of Open Street Map. Please get in touch with your ideas. Topics may include:

• digitizing in potlatch
• digitizing in potlatch over your own aerial imagery http://publiclaboratory.org/wiki/editing-openstreetmap-balloon-maps, and example.
• downloading data into postGIS, shapefile
• more to come

Other topics may include new projects like http://shortestpathtree.org/ by Brandon Martin Anderson.
