The '''ArchMap''' project creates a map of Arch Linux users all over the world.
==History==
'''ArchMap''' was originally created by [[User:xterminus|xterminus]]. He created jpeg files that could be downloaded from this page. However, he didn't have the time to maintain them anymore, so he dropped the project.
When Google Earth for Linux was released, [[User:brain0|brain0]] recreated the project.
The third version of ArchMap was based on Google Maps.
ArchMap is now developed in the open on [https://github.com/maelstrom59/ArchMap GitHub], this iteration was started by [[User:Alux|alux]].
===Screenshots===
Here's a screenshot of how it used to look:

==Maps==
All of the code to generate your own .geojson file is [https://github.com/maelstrom59/ArchMap up on GitHub]. The repo also contains pre-generated [https://raw.github.com/maelstrom59/ArchMap/master/output.geojson .geojson] and [https://raw.github.com/maelstrom59/ArchMap/master/markers.kml .kml] files, these files are used to make the maps below.
If you have any suggestions please post them [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=22518&p=2 here] or create an issue in the [https://github.com/maelstrom59/ArchMap/issues repo].
===OpenStreetMap===
One rendering of the map is hosted by [https://a.tiles.mapbox.com/v3/alux.hclg4eg0/page.html?secure=1#4/39.63/-104.91 MapBox], this to be updated manually by [[User:Alux|alux]] importing the .geojson file.
