Learn How to Use OpenStreetMap US Resources

Join us for a 1 hour virtual workshop on how to use OpenStreetMap US server resources.

OpenStreetMap US provides a series of server resources to the OpenStreetMap community free of charge. You can use these servers for jobs that are too large or too long running for your local machine and for cooperating with other community members.

You can see a full list of our servers on our Wiki. These servers offer the following:

  • Full, hourly updated copy of the OpenStreetMap rendering database
  • Latest Mapnik installed and the ability to render and cache arbitrary tile sets
  • Storage and shell access for projects related to improving OSM in the US

The workshop will take place on January XX, at XX PM. We will webcast over Youtube and have a chat channel on #osm-us-servers on irc.oftc.net. You will find the Youtube link right here at the time of the event.

We will take a particular look at:

  • Access to the rendering database
  • Existing data in the database
  • Mapnik rendering toolchain
