Maps 2.0

Last Tuesday, HumaniNet and MapTogether, along with TACS and NTEN, presented an afternoon workshop on mapping for non-profits, followed by a presentation at the January meetup of PDXTech4Good.

Here are Matt Blair’s slides from the event:

• Geo-Usability: Making Effective Maps (13.2 MB, PDF)
• Examples of Maps 2.0 projects in 2009 (10.5 MB, PDF)

Updated: Jim Craner’s slideshow is available on the MapTogether website.

Other followups will be delayed a bit as we do what we can to assist our field partners who are responding to the earthquake in Haiti.

We may do a webcast on these topics, or release narrated versions of the slideshows at some point in the future. If we do, we’ll post about it here.

Thanks to everyone who came out last Tuesday for their questions and enthusiasm!

Clarification: The USGS slides in the Examples PDF are not projects that Maps 2.0 has been working on. I had them in the slides to highlight some of the work  they’re doing such as Did You Feel It? and their Twitter Earthquake Detection Program.
