I am involved with OpenStreetMap in the Washington DC area, working with the MappingDC group. We organizing mapping parties and are working on data imports for DC and outreach to other local governments.
I am an admin on this wiki, so if you need assistance with anything (e.g. deleting a page), please let me know on my talk page or send me an email.
Mapping
My mapping efforts focus on the Washington DC area, including:
- Arlington National Cemetery and surrounding areas in Arlington County (e.g. Pentagon City, Columbia Pike, Rosslyn, and park areas along the Potomac River).
- POIs in Washington DC
- Mapping areas of Montgomery County, Maryland
I also map other places, such as Kashmir (Srinagar) and helped with mapping Haiti.
Data imports
I am also helping with importing DC GIS data, which should go a long way for improving OSM on the DC side of the Potomac. Once the data imports are done, we will work with the DC government to keep the data updated, as the government updates the data sets and see how we can provide updates and extra data layers from OSM to the government.
I'm currently importing:
- buildings
- landuse (well, using the city's dataset + imagery + local knowledge to map this)
Tools
I am also interested in developing or improving existing tools used here, from data imports to improved rendering. As well, I am working on a MediaWiki extension that allows embedding OpenStreetMap and other types of maps into wiki pages, among other capabilities, and working to integrate OSM with Wikipedia.
- Note: I have an alternative account (audebot) to use for data imports and other scripted edits.
