I\u2019ve been involved with Public Lab<\/a> (and Grassroots Mapping) since 2010, when I wrote to Jeff Warren after seeing the diydrones post showing his map of a settlement outside Lima, Peru. <\/p>\n

Public Lab is doing a Kickstarter campaign<\/a> for aerial photomapping kits, from small lifting kites and balloons to the classic larger ones.<\/p>\n

Jeff, Stewart Long, Mathew Lippincott, and others in the Public Lab community helped me learn simple aerial photo mapping techniques. <\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nThey also helped me start a grassroots mapping program to map the 40-acre Belize Open Source – Sustainable Development <\/a>(BOSSD) site at high resolution to support site development work and progress reporting, to make this methodology accessible to local landholders, to engage schools to develop capabilities for educational and community mapping and make an initial set of maps.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve presented at Engineers Without Borders (EWB)<\/a> workshops and poster sessions on Simple, Inexpensive Aerial Photomapping<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nIn 2013, I applied these techniques at the BOSSD site and sessions at the August Pine Ridge RC school and Muffles College.<\/p>\n

I’ve not been as active with Public Lab due to other priorities, but I am looking to get back to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
