#missingmaps — Public Fediverse posts

Until your new OSM account gets rate-limited, that is 😄 Apparently that just happens at every Mapathon with beginners, no way around it. We did MapSwipe as we waited - also great, I foresee a lot of swiping in my near future.

This week is a bit crazy for me and I was questioning myself when I signed up for this, but absolutely no regrets, I really had fun. 2/2

#osm #hotosm #missingMaps #mapSwipe #citizenScience

I attended a cool event yesterday, a "Mapathon" for the Missing Maps project (https://missingmaps.org/). We learned about Missing Maps, about Medicins Sans Frontieres and their activities in South Sudan (which we would be mapping), how to pick up a mapping task at HOT Task Manager (https://tasks.hotosm.org/), and finally how to work in JOSM. Pretty easy when someone walks you through it, and honestly a fun activity. 1/2

Read more about what all the member organisations of the Missing Maps initiative have been up to past year in the annual report.

There is some pretty cool stuff, for example the Lightning Project of Map Kibera, and the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in mapping workshop organised by George Washington University, and many many more!

The membership did also grow with 2 organisations: 3iS and Kenya Red Cross. Welcome to this world of open mapping!

fAIr makes humanitarian mapping faster and amplifies the work mappers do (not replacing human involvement). Kshitij Raj Sharma and Emmanuel Jolaiya told #sotmeu25 all about the tool and the features added in the last year.

Is this good for #OpenStreetMap and #MissingMaps? Have you used it?
