August: Multidimensional Maps and Happy Birthday OSM!
This month we'll be hearing about projects visualizing digital maps in the third, and sometimes fourth, dimension. (The alternate mirrorverse meetup will address dimensions 5-7.) This August also marks OpenStreetMap's tenth year of existence, which will be recognized with CAKE and possibly balloons.
Join us and follow the conversation at #geonyc for the latest updates.
