MappingDC

We approached mapping Falls Church (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FallsChurchMappingParty) in 3 phases. First was aerial mapping. Second was beers at Mad Fox. Third was surveying.

While most people will be celebrating Lincoln's Birthday, we'll toast to Charles Darwin at our next mappy hour. It's Darwin Day around the world.

We'll continue to have mappy hours on the second Tuesday of the even months (Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct, Dec). Here's an iCalendar file http://mappingdc.org/MappingDC_Mappy_Hours.ics to import into your calendars. In the alternate months we'll have mapping parties, workshops, or hack days.

We'll be joining the [US-wide OpenStreetMap #editathon](http://www.openstreetmap.us/2013/01/522/) this weekend, Saturday January 26. Come out for an afternoon of OpenStreetMap editing. We'll improve the map with your local knowledge, Satellite tracing and [MapRoulette fun](http://maproulette.org). We will also take the [new OpenStreetMap editor iD for a spin](http://mapbox.com/osmdev/2012/12/22/alpha0/).

A diverse set of people showed up for mapping in Hyattsville, MD, including techies, managers, data wranglers, and GIS veterans. We paired up and hit the streets with our GPS trackers and survey sheets. After returning to Bus Boys and Poets, we uploaded our traces and entered into OSM the features of Hyattsville.
