Data scrum: Mapping DC borders over space and time

The United States Constitution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Constitution) called for formation of a "District (not exceeding ten miles square)...to become the seat of the government of the United States." Over the last 225+ years the city has taken shape.

Join members of the MapStory Volunteer Technical Community (VTC) for a fun, hands-on effort to map out exactly how DC's borders came into being. Along the way we'll learn about working with spatial data and brainstorm more DC MapStory projects to take on in the future. No prior experience necessary, but bring an interest in DC history and maps!

We'll go from 3-5pm, with a likely field trip to food and beer nearby afterwards...
