One minor thing, @OpenGlobe, would you mind changing "NPMaps" in the title to "NPMap". Thanks!

OpenGlobe commented 9 years ago

Fixed - thanks Nate!

nateirwin commented 9 years ago

Humm, looks like it still "NPMaps"?

The NPMap Team will be releasing a public facing version of its "Places" system for the myAmerica Dev Summit. NPMap team member Jim McAndrew will provide a short presentation about how the public can contribute geospatial data to the National Park Service. He will explain how these contributions will be used within the National Park Service and how we propose to push these contributions into OpenStreetMap.

Jim will be running a local US Chapter OpenStreetMap Mapping party in Colorado. He will be teleconferencing into the DC event to give his presentation and to help map contributors to get started. He will need a few volunteers in DC to help users with questions about the iD editor.

Excited about this! Jim, let's connect as I'd like to learn more before the event so we can include some of this into OSM Mapping event in the Bay Area, which we are pulling together.

@ryanbranciforte I'll be posting to the NPMap blog about how the server can be accessed, otherwise it uses the iD editor and should be easy to pick up if you already know OpenStreetMap.
