Dear Geographers and Mapping Enthusiasts,
November 12th-18th is the international OpenStreetMap GeoWeek as part of the Geography Awareness Week. Since 1987, in the third week of November all around the world different kind of projects and activities are planned to raise awareness about the significance of geography and spatial data and how we affect and are affected by it.
This year we celebrate the 30th birthday of this important tradition for geographers all around the world. In this scope, the disastermappers heidelberg / GIScience Research Group Heidelberg University wants to invite you to a special Mapathon.
When: 14.11.2017, 6 pm
Where: Hörsaal, Berliner Straße 48, Heidelberg Institute of Geography, Heidelberg University
The Missing Maps event will be organized in collaboration with the further OSM GeoWeek partners and support one of the most urgent OSM GeoWeek projects around the topic of “Civil Rights”.
The event will start with an overview of the OSM GeoWeek, afterwards we will provide a short introduction into remote mapping in OpenStreetMap before the mapping sessions begin.
We will as usual provide snacks, drinks and nice after work sound.
We are looking forward to a large crowd, no previous knowledge needed, just bring your laptop and mouse if available!
