B of A - EC AM's Mapathon -Global Service Month
Farmington, Connecticut, United States
The Missing Maps Project Mid-Month Mapathon is an event where a group of mappers get together to contribute to humanitarian mapping projects simultaneously. During the event mappers can support one another by sharing tools, advice and answering one another's questions.
Mapping will be co-ordinated using the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team Tasking Manager(HOT TM) and/or MapRoulette.
This event is U.S. based in name only. Since we have moved to virtual events we have been getting attendees from all over the world - we heartily welcome this!
What do I need? A ticket A laptop or desktop with an internet connection A mouse (a mouse isn't absolutely necessary but it does makes the mapping A LOT faster) Please do not hesitate to join if you are dialling in from an active context - this is a family & pet friendly event! Consumption of food and drink during the event is also highly encouraged.
During the break/or a suitable moment, we would like to capitalise on your attendance to explore our current practices/processes, to better improve the overall mapping experience, so please bring your thinking caps along too.
What do I do now? Get yourself a ticket for this event. If the ticketing website throws an error when you attempt to order a ticket; please try again.
