OSM Geoweek 2017 @ USC
Celebrating OSM Geoweek with Free Software, and Open Data.
What is it?
The aim of the activity is to introduce the concept of participatory mapping for creating open data, and provide volunteers an opportunity to contribute and discover how they could become digital humanitarians by mapping their own communities, and collaborating with other mapping projects.
Everyone is welcome, and no previous experience is necessary to participate. Training and digital GeoBadges (credentials) badges will be awarded to participants.
