Maptime Chicago

OpenStreetMap for Humanitarian Response

UPDATE: Rescheduled to June 24th!

For this month’s installment of Maptime, we’re going to put our OSM skills to work contributing to Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) applies the principles of open source and open data sharing for humanitarian response and economic development. We will:

1. Learn about the Humanitarian OpenStreetMapTeam (HOT)
2. Get introduced to / do a quick refresher on OpenStreetMap and
3. Dive into contributing to a HOT project using the tasking manager.

Maptime is always interactive, so don’t forget to bring your laptop! As always, beginners are very welcome.

Event Details:

• When: Wednesday, May 24th, 6-8pm (rescheduled from May)
