I’ve been creating maps with Google products for some years now, but would like to have a session where beginners and experts can talk about data and tools that help novices and intermediate users create more dynamic interfaces. Data could come from geo-coded cells in spreadsheets, or the kml files that can be extracted from something like the Mapping Johnno project (goo.gl/maps/cEFPn) that I’ll be talking about at the Museum of Brisbane the previous week. If you can make it to my talk, you’ll get a better idea of where my thinking is going, not only with the practical necessities of mapping in an electronic environment, but the interpretative possibilities this could bring to literary and historical studies. At THATCamp Brisbane, I’d love to hear from anyone interested in the technical and interpretative potential of mapping literary and historical data.
