1. Last hangout
On Nov. 23 a Transport Action Canada working group tested the hangout feature, a video conference with shared access to linked computer screens, spreadsheets, documents and video feeds. The group developed a 10-minute workshop on how to use openstreetmap to make maps like this one.

The group observed the value of the tool for board meetings and other collaborations. It notes a Facebook or Google+ site invites issues around "brand discipline" and coherent messaging. Social media use will require careful curating by the organization.

O-Train Map Stage One
Like Google maps Openstreetmap can save the file as an image or as code for pasting it onto a blog or web site.
Openstreetmap has more tools than Google. It’s easy to highlight routes or locations for your custom maps. The system has layers. It’s a wiki project which encourages participants to add detail to the existing data.
O-Train Map Stage Two
Someone more adept than me will show a few more of the basics.
