Salzburg

The Salzburg geo-Stammtisch ‘Maptime’ is organising a Mapaton ( = joint OpenStreetMap mapping) on Wednesday, 8 May 2019!

Here is an excerpt from the original announcement from http://maptime.io/salzburg/event/2019/05/08/Mapthon/:

The next Maptime event will take place in the form of a humanitarian mapping marathon. We will work together to digitise geodata such as houses or streets using satellite images and upload them to OpenStreetMap. This data is then used by organisations such as Médecins Sans Frontières to better plan their missions. No prior knowledge is necessary for digitisation. We will provide an introduction and explain everything relevant. There will be free drinks, snacks (sponsored by Z_GIS) and music. Please bring:

The MapTime-Salzburg get-together will take place on Wednesday, 16 January 2019! Here is the original announcement from the mailing list:

Hello dear geo enthusiasts, Our last meeting in December was a great success with almost 30 participants. The videos 🎥 and slides 📊 are available on our website: http://maptime.io/salzburg/event/2018/12/12/data-handling/

Next week is our regulars’ table again. Everyone is welcome to exchange ideas about geodata, GIS, remote sensing, programming and all other topics. Date: Wednesday, 16 January Time: 20:00 o’clock

The next MapTime will take place in Salzburg on 12 December 2018:

Hello everyone, The topic for our next meeting is ‘Geospatial Data Handling’. We have put together four exciting talks (in English):

git - Efficient Version Control of Program Code and Text Files (Steffen Reichel)

GDAL - Processing and Converting Raster Data (Hannah Augustin)

OGR - Processing and Converting Vector Data (Nikolai Janakiev)

PostGIS - store and process geodata in a relational database (Andreas Petutschnig)

An OSM-related geospatial event has been set up in Salzburg: Maptime Salzburg will be holding its first meeting on 13 November 2018! The following is the original text from the mailing list announcement:

Hello everyone, Last month we founded the ‘Maptime Salzburg’ meetup. This monthly meeting is intended to offer anyone interested in geospatial topics the opportunity to exchange ideas on topics such as geoinformatics, remote sensing, geodata or programming. The next meeting will take place on Tuesday, 13 November 2018 at 7 p.m. at Trumerei in Salzburg. As an additional activity, we want to map together for an hour at 6 p.m. The idea is to use the StreetComplete app to introduce beginners to OSM. Information about our past and future meetings can be found on our website: http://maptime.io/salzburg/ We also have an open mailing list for exchanging ideas: https://lists.fossgis.de/mailman/listinfo/maptime-salzburg
