Maptime Sacramento - Meetup January 12, 2015

Thanks to Sacramento GIS User Group Member Kasey Allen for sharing this Meetup: http://www.meetup.com/HackerLab/events/219124772/  

Maptime is, rather literally, time for mapmaking. Our mission is to open the doors of cartographic possibility to anyone interested by creating a time and space for collaborative learning, exploration, and map creation using mapping tools and technologies.

Although Maptime got its start in San Francisco, chapters have sprouted up all over the world, and now, in Sacramento. Come join us for Maptime Sacramento's inaugural hack night! Beginners, you are especially welcome.

6:45-7:00: Introductions and snacks

7:00: "Anatomy of a Web Map" We'll learn about the different pieces of a web map and how they work together. This is going to be a hands-on tutorial, so please bring your laptop!
