Thanks to Chris Speed (@chrisspeed) and the Walking Through Time project (<a href="http://www.walkingthroughtime.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.walkingthroughtime.co.uk/</a>), we how have use of the source code for their iPhone app which we can use to map Sanborn maps for Dogpatch, or all of SF eventually...

Then from there, we can see about building some web layers with different parts of Dogpatch history!

Also, as I dig just a little bit into Dogpatch history, I love the idea of looking at that neighborhood and the various layers of visualization and presentation we can get into! Here's a great history: <a href="http://pier70sf.org/dogpatch/DogHistSig.htm" rel="nofollow">http://pier70sf.org/dogpatch/DogHistSig.htm</a> Thanks Jon C!

This is very much in concert with work that I'd really like to see move forward in the Bay Area on a number of fronts. And it would be great to start somewhere with such a great group of collaborators. Count me in.

And there are a couple of fantastic talks coming up as part of a series our friends at SFMOMA have been doing around this: <a href="http://www.sfmoma.org/events/1756" rel="nofollow">http://www.sfmoma.org/events/1756</a>. Let's decide the date and place at our next f2f meeting December 15th, 10am, Cafe La Boheme in the Mission. For those that can't make the meeting, we'll have plenty of other ways to engage on this. OpenStreetMap and Google Earth/Maps/etc API's are other great tools to add to our list to learn/use. We should see what sources we can tap for archival video/photos/labor history, etc. <iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=lookbackmaps-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&m=amazon&f=ifr&md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&asins=0520262506" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe> I think required reading for this project is Rebecca Solnit’s Infinite City.

Fox Fri, 03 Dec 2010 21:51:45 +0000 http://www.thatcampbayarea.org/?p=509#comment-336 Hi Jon: Thanks for the kind words. I definitely agree that there should be a series of building events where we can spend time with some of the many tools and technologies available. I'm looking forward to getting together on December 15th at La Boheme in the Mission so we can get the ball rolling. In terms of tools, I think MemoryMiner would be an extremely useful tool. This post talks about some of the ways it's been used in academic and institutional settings. http://www.memoryminer.com/blog/?p=213 In terms of a date, I second the motion for a Saturday in February. Best, John Hi Jon:

But I think that rather than preparing everything before hand and bringing things in for a show and tell, this could be a fantastic opportunity to actually learn and use a variety of tools around a particular theme, so that we end up with an actual result at the end of the day. This is of the One Week l One Tool idea and could be a bit more inclusive. I really like focusing on Dogpatch and I'm happy to help find a location in the area with good wifi and comfortable environs. Maybe we could start listing some tools, data sources, etc that could be used and that people would be interested to learn. Also, let's start narrowing in on a date... how about a Saturday in February? I think this is a fantastic idea.
