You may remember back in April, ThoughtMenu #5 was graciously hosted by makerhood.com at their Making Uncovered event at the Brixton East gallery.

The video above is a short documentary with interviews with the organisers & many of the makers involved in the day. It really gives a great feel for what went on, it features our speakers, the thought menu, and jays beard.

We all had a fantastic time at the event and the video really reflects that 

Thanks again to makerhood.com for hosting us!

Taking the online arts & craft movement and bringing it back to the community! Makerhood is centred around SouthWest London and gives creative types an way of interacting with the people who live in the same areas as them - always more interesting to buy a beautiful photograph taken by a chap down the road, or a dress made by someone living above yr local! 

So far still in Beta mode, the instigators behind this venture hope to roll it out across London and beyond before long!

(...also featuring *me* in an exhibition at Lounge from next week, and in a wee piece in the November/December edition of SW4 magazine)

Makerhood - Brixton

Kristina Glushkova

Makerhood is a project to promote local makers and create a website enabling people to buy things made in their neighbourhoods. We are currently working on a Drupal-based pilot in Brixton, funded by a grant from Unltd. We are taking an open approach to building the platform and working with the local community throughout, from the idea to implementation. The talk will go through the idea, the approach we have taken and the role of community engagement. It will reflect on the opportunities and trade-offs in balancing the community and trading aspects on an online marketplace that is grounded in physical local interactions. http://www.makerhood.com

OpenStreetMap - internationally

Harry Wood

OpenStreetMap.org is the wikipedia of maps, a project to create free and open maps of the world. This is is not a corporate endeavour. It's a somewhat disorganised rabble of thousands of volunteers collaborating to build something great and give it away to the world for free. The project started here in London and is still largely being served from cupboard in UCL. With a shoestring budget OpenStreetMap is turning the traditional geodata industry on its head, but open data is mainly about empowering a new wave of web developers and hackers. It's time to get behind OpenStreetMap and be proud of it. This talk will run through some of the open data motivations but with a map licensing slant. It will cover the comparative offerings of google maps and ordnance survey. You'll see how the editing software works, and how people like you can easily edit the map. We'll take a quick look at some technical details of map tile rendering stacks, the main OpenStreetMap API, and other services which developers can make use of in and around OpenStreetMap. http://openstreetmap.org

LBS is all about you (or where you are)

Location based services are becoming more and more important and services such as Twitter and Facebook allow geo-tagging posts. What does that mean? How can it help you?
