Add misc regions that are in this ticket

[jackiekazil]

I have a misc list of regions lying around that need to be added to the repo. To add to the repo, do the following....

• Take screenshot of the map at the url
• Rename to use agency + sub-agency. Example "dot-faa.png" ... if no sub-agency, then just top level, ie "dot.png"
• Add them to the region-maps folder
• Add a line item to the csv that includes the source from where you got it.

Region into to add:

• http://www.hhs.gov/iea/regional/
• http://www.consumerfinance.gov/blog/meet-our-regional-directors/

Hi Jackie I have found some maps for DOE,State and DOA where should I add them.I can't find the excel sheet to add them

[jackiekazil]

@neilmartis what format are they in? do you have images or actual shp files?
If just images, then add image here and then document it here.

Hi Jackie I have an idea of what you were building since this data is going to be collected.If there is a map of usa we could plot the data on the maps for every agency using a drop down dynamically for the department and agencies and this data can also be used for other purposes.Am I right.

[jackiekazil]

Yes... ultimately it a perfect world we would have the data points for the
regions stored and not images.

Its a good project for me to work on I haven't done anything like this so your guidance will be helpful

[neilmartis]

I have done some work with rails & php not much with java and python

[neilmartis]

python with gis would be the right way to begin right

[neilmartis]

Sorry about that Jackie

[jackiekazil]

Yeah… that would be awesome!
Not sure if there is a way to automate, but there are two different ways to
extract the boundaries.

Acquire shp files from agencies

• Most accurate way

  - But time consuming

  Extract the boundaries using qgis

• Not as accurate, because you can’t zoom to a very detailed level

  • Not as time consuming

In the 1970s, there was a GAO report that said if agencies had the shared
similar regional divides that could save a crapload of money. So, this was
why this repo got kicked off to start to compare programmatically how
different the regions were. (I did a search for the GAO report, but I
couldn’t find it, but I know it does exist.)

Hi Jackie I started to collect the data and since it will be an interactive map I was thinking of using node.js leaflet.js and mongodb

[jackiekazil]

The data should be in one repo, while the app in another. make sense?
