Mapping 500 outdoor artworks in the Portland-Vancouver Metro Area during the summer of 2015

On May 14 there were fewer than 50 OSM mapped artworks in Portland per this [Overpass Turbo Query] (http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/9v3) And none had photos.

This summer pdxosgeo will map and tag at least 500 artworks in Portland, Vancouver, Gresham, Hillsboro. Along the way benches, eateries, pubs, drinking fountains, historical sites and key tourism attractions will get tagged.

How?

• Schedule 4 fieldwork "mapathons", 2 after work, 2 during the day.
• Use Fieldpapers.org for light-weight field work.
• Use Flickr or Mapillary for photos. (Mapillary plugin for JOSM is an accepted Google Summer of Code project, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2015/AcceptedProjects )
• Test mobile editors http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Editing
• Stick to nodes- a good first step in learning OSM. Yes, paper is yucky, but this might work...
• Can't attend? Opportunistically map the sculptures that you know best. Then, the murals, the poetry posts, the lending libraries.

For Fieldpapers.org Atlas pages

• A FieldPapers Atlas- assuming a 30 minute walk to collect POI.
• Lloyd District Atlas http://fieldpapers.org/atlases/20xojbnq
• Lloyd District Atlas-2 http://fieldpapers.org/atlases/42a5smdt
• June 20th, a Along Park Blocks, starting at Portlandia. http://fieldpapers.org/atlases/3luftup4
• We need to remember to upload, review, and then map our notes.

Notes and Handouts about tagging and to record more detail than fits on fieldpaper atlas pages.

A proposed schedule for 2 weeknight and and 2 noon time, outdoor, field trips.

• Monday June 29 - 6PM The Portland Building under Portlandia statue. Gab for 10 minutes, divvy up quadrants- head out. Regroup 8PM. Test run. Few participants expected-- I did not publicize.
• Monday July 6 - 6PM The Portland Building under Portlandia statue. Gab for 10 minutes, divvy up quadrants- head out.
• Monday July 13 - Noonish, Meet MAX Expo Center stop (tentative idea- wil tweak to work with Babies and strollers.) Work our way back to PDX.
• Monday July 20 - or a date that works for Matt Sayler, meet after work downtown Vancouver. Gab and Go.
