Infrastructure Mapping for Community Wildfire Resilience

Specifically this project will explore infrastructure mapping for mitigating fire hazards in the wildland interface. | State of the Map US 2026 Info Session
Thinking about participating in State of the Map US 2026 in Madison? Come learn from past SotM US attendees about what to expect, ask questions about fellowships and other aspects of the conference, and brainstorm ideas for your session. | |
Dive Into the Deep End: Learn to use the JOSM Editor by Mapping Swimming Pools
The JOSM editor can greatly improve your OSM editing workflows, but learning how to use it can be intimidating. Learn to use the basic features of JOSM by mapping swimming pools. Download and install the latest version before the workshop: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download | Splash Pad: Open Mapping Time Focused on Uncommon or Unusual Features
So you’re tired of buildings and highways and stores. What else is there to map? How do we find oddities to map? What is the procedure for inventing new things? Workshop targeting new folks who want to level up how they think about the map. (or just come hang out!) | |
Creating Thematic Webmaps using Ultra
This workshop will dive into creating thematic maps using OSM data using Ultra. | OpenHistoricalMap Office Hours
Join the OpenHistoricalMap community for our annual informal office hours. Get advice from fellow mappers, brainstorm some focus areas for the coming year, and give feedback to the OHM advisory group. | |
Historical Mapping with OpenHistoricalMap, OldInsuranceMaps.net, and Yesterdays
From georeferencing historical Sanborn fire insurance maps on OldInsuranceMaps.net, to georeferencing historical photographs, to mapping through time on OpenHistoricalMap, we’ll share demos and how to get involved. |
Chat about OSM US software projects like OSMCha, MapRoulette, Layercake, the Tileservice, and more. Learn about what’s on the roadmap for the coming year and ways you can get involved with development. | |
