Your Future is Customized – State of the Map Presentation from CloudMade
In July this year, 250 of the leading lights in community mapping and geo application development gathered in Amsterdam for the annual OpenStreetMap Foundation conference The State of the Map. Video and audio recordings form the three day conference are being processed one by one by a dedicated team of volunteers who recently published the video of Nick Black’s talk: “Your Future is Customized”.
The talk asks why most current users of geodata experience maps through one of two ways: in car sat navs, or online mapping portals and looks towards a future of app stores, specialized map data and geo applications that match the exact needs of consumers.
Enable your applications with CloudMade – Nick Black (CloudMade) from State of the Map 2009 on Vimeo.

Join the Mapzen Community Panel to experience CloudMade’s exciting new mapping environment at a hands-on preview session
Join the Mapzen Community Panel and be the first to experience Mapzen – CloudMade’s new powerful and easy-to-use map making environment.
Over the next few weeks we’re inviting current and new Mapzen Community Panel members to take part in hands-on testing sessions of Mapzen. The sessions will be held at our London and Menlo Park offices and will give you the chance to be the first to experience this exciting new map making tool.
You don’t need to be a mapping expert to join the Mapzen Community Panel. In fact we’re looking for people with all levels of abilities, from experienced OpenStreetMap mappers, to total newbies. As a Mapzen Community Panel member you get early access to new Mapzen releases and the chance to take part in one-on-one hands on previews with the Mapzen team.
We know how busy you are and value your input so if you take part in a one on one session we will compensate you for your time and travel expenses (and you get to take home some exclusive CloudMade goodies). Most importantly, this is your opportunity to experience Mapzen and shape the future of an exciting new product.
We are particularly interested to talk to anyone who has used other OpenStreetMap editors in the past, but found them difficult or confusing to use.

Wednesday 19th August – 12.00-20.00
Thursday 20th August – 12.00-18.00
