Geogeeks Perth

Join us for a coffee and an exploration of the new train station and surrounding streets.

Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary (or osmcal.org registration). We’ll start the day at the Drip Expresso Bar, then survey the train station or the nearby shopping strips (in groups or all together), before ending up somewhere else for lunch (location TBD on the day).

Add and update Points of Interest (POIs) on your phone, draw on your phone or a printed map. We’ve got all the materials, come down and learn about OSM (OpenStreetMap).

We can also teach you how OSM relations work and how to link objects together for advanced public transport navigation!

We’ll do a coffee/snack run, sponsored by OSGeo Oceania!

RSVP on osmcal.org, message Ben with any questions, and join the Geogeeks Slack to keep in touch.

Join us at the Globe on Friday to celebrate twenty years of OpenStreetMap!

The OSM map of Perth was completely blank in 2004 — and look at it now! We have a lot to celebrate, and a lot to look forward to.

This is a casual meetup, no RSVP required.

(This event is also listed on the global list of birthday parties.)

Come for an evening of short talks from local geospatial practitioners.

It’s been a while since we lined up an evening of talks, so this author is looking forward to catching up with everyone again, and meeting some new geospatial enthusiasts too. All are welcome.

Speakers:

• Roger Merritt - The 3m Accuracy issue transforming to and from GDA2020
• Jerome Lefebvre - Merging weather data with Geospatial data using DuckDB
• You?!? - Got an interesting geo-related technique, trick, or story that you think we whould know about? Email geogeeks.perth@gmail.com so we can organise a talk!

After the talks we’ll hang around to chat over pizza and drinks. The event is free and everyone is welcome, but please register so we can cater well!
