How to use OpenStreetMap data in QGIS
Details
This installment of Maptime is co-hosted by the Sacramento Linux User Group (http://www.saclug.org/).
We're excited to have Alex Mandel and Michele Tobias as our presenters! They will teach us how to design custom styles for OpenStreetMap base maps and layers in QGIS. They'll also cover the rudiments of spatial analysis.
If you don't have QGIS on your laptop yet, we recommend downloading version 2.8 (https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html) before this meeting.
After Alex and Michele's tutorial, Maptimer Rich Webster will give a quick demo of his project
https://report.parkwatchreport.com
and tell us about the various open source mapping tools he used to build it.

Though it's been a while since we've met, we hold fast to the Tenets of Maptime:
- beginners are welcome,
- laptops are required (as this tutorial will be hands-on),
- and snacks will be provided.
Once again, we will meet at the McClatchy branch in a modest (but comfortable!) meeting room, so we must
cap attendance to 20 guests
. Please RSVP if you can make it!
