    By day Tracy works for the Software Freedom Conservancy, and by night extends her enthusiasm of Open Source Software into the worlds of maps and making. She recently graduated from the University of Tennessee with a BS in Geospatial Technology. In her spare time she helps administrates Knox Makers, a local community makerspace, also focused on FOSS for their tool setups.

Abstract

Tracy will show several different artistic maps she has made, and go through the different software tools used to make them. She will discuss what datasets and formats work for each type of map and how you can make your own artistic maps using freely licensed software.
