Educating the Open-source Community With Showmedo

Although as important as the software it supports, education and documentation are relatively neglected in the Open-source world. Coders love to code, and explaining how best to use or improve the software tends to be deferred or even sidelined.

At Showmedo we believe the community can play a vital role here and also say thanks for the tools and software that make our lives easier. If you have a piece of software you love or a programming langugage you are enthusiastic about, why not make a screencast showing others how to use it? All the stuff you wish you'd been told, the tips, tricks, insights that would have saved you time and frustration.

Screencasting is easier than you think, and we're happy to help you. You can emailus for advice or just use some of the how-to screencasts on the site. This screencasting learning-pathis a good place to start.

Kudos and Thanks for steve

Good video for beginners

Potlatch introduction

That's very useful. It's hard to tell when you're starting whether you're doing things right or whether the server is slow etc etc. Good to see how it's supposed to work - ish!

JOSM basic introduction

Thanks for the effort that you put in. With my brain damage it is so much easier to learn from a video, than trying to read.

steve,

Thanks for the video, new user from SE PA, USA. I own several GPS units and run roads and trails in this area which I hope to upload as soon as I figure everything out.

Best Regards,

Jim

Very nice overview - I truly hope we will be able to get involved in OSM in a big way in the future, especially with our mobility modelling research.

This is a great intro to OpenStreetMaps. I hope to be able to create map tiles of of cities to use in an application and look forward to learning as much as I can about OSM. Thanks for all the great work you and all the volunteers have contributed!

Useful introduction, but could you do a video where the picture isn't jumping about all over the place? It's very distracting.

Thanks Steve, this is a good intro for a Potlatch editor, like myself, that wants to learn a more powerful tool

Great project! Used OpenStreet maps for a recent grand motorcycle tour of Europe and western Asia. Just learning more about it now and will surely contribute. The videos are getting me oriented to how to proceed.

Thanks!

OpenStreetMap introduction

I found this video very useful. I have only just discovered Openstreetmap, and Opencyclemap. I am a retired IT professional, who likes to walk and geocache. I also spend a lot of time in Andalucia, where I have always had problems getting decent digital data for GPSs. So I'm seriously thinking of signing up!
