We’re holding our first import sprint on October 24th.

When: October 24th, 12 noon until approximately 6pm
Where: HacDC at 1525 Newton Street NW, DC
What: Our first data import, working on building footprints, addresses and street data

The longer form agenda for this sprint will be:

  1. To coordinate the effort that’s already going on in getting the data imported programatically
  2. To execute the automatic import against the current data set
  3. Do to a manual verification and correction of the data
  4. To complete the import

We’ll be primarily looking at the building footprints, but potentially at other data sets.

Coincidentally at 4pm we’ll be participating in the OSM-US call-in, an effort to create a national OpenStreetMap organization.

If you’d like to help out, please have an existing account on OpenStreetMap, a current copy of JOSM, and also a current copy of Quantum GIS (qgis), which you can get here.

Lastly, if the side door is locked, you can call HacDC’s number (located on their web site) and someone will bring you up to the lab.
