Over the next couple of weeks we'll be holding two community georeferencing events at Second Line Brewing in New Orleans. If you are in the area, we hope you can make it!
As we have in the past, we're doing these events in collaboration with the Midlo Center and HistoryForge. We'll be starting work on the 1895 Vol. 2 Sanborn Map (which covers the CBD and more), and, excitingly, Elizabeth from the Midlo Center will also talk about the archaeological work they have been doing this summer in Duncan Plaza. We hope you can join!
In early October I'll be doing a talk and activity for the wonderful Front-end Party software developer meetup here in New Orleans. Exact details TBD (they'll be here eventually), but I'm really looking forward to getting some hack-a-thon action only weeks after all of these georeference-a-thons. Hopefully we'll have some fun web maps to share by the end!
But, one fun little detail, a couple weeks ago I added "duration" as a column to the Activity page. This is how long someone has the "split" or "georeferencing" interface open when they are performing one of those tasks. Fun to see, eventually I'll aggregate these durations for average time per sheet, etc. Also, there are sorting and filtering options on that table and many others within the site. Progress, slowly...
Until next time!
