Location
Beginners & Experienced Mappers Welcome!
Details on Calagator: http://calagator.org/events/1250467555
Come learn about the basics of Open Street Map and how to contribute as a remote mapper for Portland and for developing countries around the world through the Missing Maps Project.
Please bring your own laptop and mouse. Editing with the JOSM tool is much easier with your own mouse. We will provide all the learning materials needed so feel free to come even if you've never mapped before! This is a beginner friendly event with experienced mappers who can help.
Schedule
10am-12pm Intro to Editing in Open Street Map (OSM)
This is especially helpful for beginners. Feel free to skip this segment if you're already comfortable with contributing to OSM or come early to help others or work on another mapping project.
12-4pm Mapping Work Party Starts
Join in to hear about mapping needs for the big "PDX Building Import" project and the Missing Maps Project.
