We're looking for maps to publish in the open data [PLOTS Archive](/archive). To get your data published, please follow the instructions below. ###Why: About the PLOTS Archive### The Archive is a collection of open data maps produced by grassroots mappers, and is like an inverse Data.gov -- open grassroots data rather than open government data. To better fulfill our goal of producing new open-source data sets, the Archive serves as the repository of those sets online, and as a starting point for the discourse we hope they will spark. ###Licensing### Your map must be licensed with an open source license, and we prefer Public Domain maps. Creative Commons Attribution is also OK. Read more on the [Licenses page](/wiki/licenses) ###Beyond the archive: your map's story### Maps are more than just data - they tell a story. If you can write about the story behind your map (how you made it, why, with whom, and what happened), that would make a great [research note](/note/add), and it can also be added to the archive entry. ##Submissions## Edit this page and list your map here to submit it to the Archive and we'll be in touch! Contact stewart@publiclaboratory.org once you've added your map. ##Example Map Name## * example MapKnitter or TMS/GeoTiff link * Cartographer: Katie Kartographer * Mappers: Matty Mapper * Public Domain * Location name (local name, state, country) * Date of capture * credits: names of cartographers/mappers involved ##Example Map Name## * http://www.mapknitter.org/map/view/bayou-st--denis * Cartographer: Jeffrey Warren * Mappers: Tico and Sara (Shannon knows complete list) * Public Domain * Bayou St. Denis, Louisiana * Date of capture: Nov 18, 2010 _add more here_
