Arduino User Locations/hackspaces/groups/meetups

I created a map for everyone to add themselves to:
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=106367500863692290311.00048bf511125d88d5fc7

Please add yourself as:
your forum name
amount of time doing arduino
any websites/blogs/video pages you have

Please don't put your email on here, instead link to your arduino forum profile page if you don't have a website for contact.

Feel free to also add hackspaces, groups, meetups etc as yellow building markers and good stores for electronics (with some info as to what is good) as a yellow shopping basket.

If there is a temporary event coming up, then feel free to add it as another marker but make sure you remove it after the event (please put the event date in the info)

If you have an issue adding yourself then just ask on here and I should be able to inform you of how to do it.

Also, please don't modify or move other people's markers. If people start modifying other people's markers then I will have to make the map modifiable by a few select people and we will have to sort something else out. :wink:

Mowcius.

WestfW appears to have added! :slight_smile:

Added myself.

Do we have to be accurate?

Well someone decided they would abuse it and change the name so I changed it back...

We'd better not have any more name or description changing.

I changed all the icons to people which was a good idea by someone (not going to say so it doesn't all go to their head :P)

Do we have to be accurate?

Feel free to just put your city (or if it's a large city then somewhere near you) but I would recommed against putting your house. I just put the general area.

There are lots more people to be added and please do add local groups and hackspaces.

I'm going to reinforce this:

Please add yourself as:
your forum name
amount of time doing arduino
any websites/blogs/video pages you have

If you do not add yourself in this vague fashion (ie. someone who just put canada) then it will be removed.

I'm going to put my state then :wink:

I'm going to put my state then

No I mean they literally just put canada in the info box and some state or something in the name box...

sorry, I am google dumb when it comes to their little groups and whatnot apps

how do I add myself?

Umm good question. As I created it, I don't honestly know :stuck_out_tongue:
I think that you:
log into google account,
load up map page,
add to maps,
then edit it...

Anyone who has added themselves want to explain? :smiley:

WestfW appears to have added!

Yes. Also added techshop and Hacker Dojo.

yea im logged in, but all i see edit for is the description of the group

actually when I first load up the map there is a edit link above the map but it instantly vanishes and is replaced by a rss feed

click edit and you can add an icon (top left of the map)

:slight_smile:

There are a little blue'ish pin up in the left corner, select it, and then place it on the map, it will then give you a little dialog where you can put the details in

got it now, thanks

I've just added myself and sorted the order in the list into people then groups, each in alphabetical order.

Looking good...

Also bumping up. Lets get more people added to this map!

When editing your info bubble if you put it into HTML mode you can make links clickable. I've done it for a few random people but then got bored...

Andrew

I'd presumed it was automatic Andrew. Then I just stuck the HTML in without switching to HTML view. Fixed my entry now though :slight_smile:

Yeah I worked that out after a bit. Not a massive deal though :wink:
