What's a #BirthdaySprint?

On August 10th, 2013 there will be birthday celebrations around the world for OpenStreetMap's 9th birthday. In order to celebrate, we've decided to hold a distributed code sprint during the birthday weekend. What this means is that anyone with an OSM software project can rally their community to do a dedicated push over those two days. Our goal is to energize developers around the project's anniversary.

Historical OSM

  • Make Time aware Tiles. 1) wrangle the mapnik xml to be time aware, and build a couple of static tile sets (maybe for 2008/2009 Burning Man :). 2) Work on mod_tile to pass time range from the url through to mapnik. So it really depends on your interest and capacity. There are also other things that could be done.
