What is Maptime?

Why Maptime?

  • You don't learn _everything_ in school.
  • It's kind of difficult to learn things after school.
  • The landscape is kind of overwhelming...

Topics

  • Webmapping
  • Traditional GIS
  • General programming / technology skills _(whatever's needed to get the job done)_

... basically, whatever people want to learn

Why MaptimeCalgary?

Lots of jobs...

calgary-jobs

toronto-jobs

vancouver-jobs

edmonton-jobs

montreal-jobs

victoria-jobs

I would assume that this would mean alot of geographers / cartographers

Already a networking group

go-geomatics

_(This isn't that)_ _(Not that there's anything wrong with that)_ Networking will happen, probably as announcements at beginnings of meetups and over beers after meetups

Maptime is about learning.

DIY, on the cheap.
