Als je geïnteresseerd bent in cartografie, doe dan mee aan deze praktische hackersavond waarop we samen kaarten maken. Maptime is hands-on, dus vergeet niet om je laptop mee te nemen! Alle niveaus zijn welkom!
Deze aflevering: Open stage & Christmapping Market!
As a early Christmas present we proudly announce a new Maptime Amsterdam evening on Wednesday the 21st of December! We are almost at the end of 2016 and a lot happened this year so it is the time to reflect. What maps have been made this year while our Maptime chapter was a bit asleep? And which new techniques are in the air? It is about time we catch up before the new year arises.
This evening we will have an Open Stage! Come and share your own project with us. In a 5 minute presentation we invite you all to show your own made maps and projects you work on. Subscribe by e-mailing to the organizer or tweet to @MaptimeAMS.
After this there will be a Maptime ChrisMap Market! Where it is possible to buy and sell your Mappy Christmas presents!
About Maptime AMS
Maptime Amsterdam is a monthly map hack night hosted by Waag. We meet once a month on a Wednesday at 18.30 to work on maps, learn about geospatial data, and teach each other the latest cartographic tools.
Maptime is, rather literally, time for mapmaking. Our mission is to open the doors of cartographic possibility to anyone interested by creating a time and space for collaborative learning, exploration, and map creation using mapping tools and technologies.
This open learning environment for all levels and degrees of knowledge offers intentional support for the beginner. Maptime is simultaneously flexible and structured: creating space for workshops, ongoing projects with a shared goal, and independent/collaborative work time.
Inspiration for Maptime comes from both hack nights and knitting circles. Both are models of spaces for people to create and learn together. Our goal is to provide this space with an open heart and without pretension. You can bring your own projects to work on, just hang out and socialize, or ask questions. Some people are experts, and some people are just getting started, but all of us are learning. So, why not do it together?
