This is the home repository for CTC21: Put Your City on the Map, which ran Saturday 28th Nov 2020 and Sunday 29th Nov 2020.
On Saturday we had 19 participants working on four challenges. On Sunday we had 17 participants working on the same four challenges.
We used our main Zoom session to hold the space and alternated between main room where everyone should be together, and breakout rooms for group work in 90 minutes blocks of time. We then came back together to check in on how teams were getting on, and to share information and offers of help.
We used Slack and our Code the City workgroup as the back channel between rooms, and to coordinate the event outside of Zoom. This worked well in the run-up to the event, and also as the jumping off point for each day.
We added the use of Miro to the mix this time. Participants were encouraged to add a photo and something about what they had to offer, and also what they hoped to gain from the event, so that people knew more about each other. We also had a whiteboard for each team too. Some used this as a task board, others documented their work process, and others captured notes and brainstormed use cases and scenarios.
Establishing what a bio-regional dashboard for the Dee valley would look like, what the content would be, data sources, and how to build it.
Translating place names into Scots in the OSM - specifically Doric, for the north-east region, but expandable into other dialects of the Scots language for other regionalities.
A simple SwiftUI app that makes use of the translated data and displays it as a list and places it on a map.

A project exploring the use of open data in the management of waste and recycling, and particularly at the use of Open Streetmap, Wikidata and how those data respoitories support informed decision making around waste and recycling.
