OpenStreetMap Workshop @ FOSS Meetup Lucknow

Uttar Pradesh, India
IIIT Lucknow

How to participate

We recommend bringing a laptop, a mouse, and a smartphone for this session.

Please remember to click "Attend". You will be asked to create an OpenStreetMap account, if you don't have one already. The same OpenStreetMap account will also be used for adding data to OSM.

When making an OpenStreetMap account, avoid using your real name in your display name. That said, you can always change your display name later.

We recommend that you install the applications below in advance, to avoid issues caused by bad internet connectivity.

What you will learn

Participants will learn in brief about -

1. What OpenStreetMap is, and why it is important;

2. CoMaps, OsmAnd, and OsmAPP.org - freedom-respecting apps which use OpenStreetMap data and provide replacements for apps like Google Maps;

3. StreetComplete, a gamified and freedom-respecting OpenStreetMap editor for Android phones.

4. MapComplete, a simple and freedom-respecting web app to view and edit OpenStreetMap data from mobile and desktop. (Also available as a native app.)

Finally, participants will learn to use iD, the browser-based OpenStreetMap editor, to make basic edits from their laptops.
