This mapping party will begin with a short introduction on OpenStreetMap, underlining the importance and usefulness of a free/open source geographic data and geographic information system. Then, participants will go on a walking tour in the local area (near Miss Baltazar’s Laboratory) using Field Papers to validate, add, or change existing geographic data. After the tour, there will be a practical demonstration about how to upload the data and how to edit OpenStreetMap.
No previous experience of mapping is required, nor is possession of a GPS or smart phone.
The mapping party is FLT-only (frauen, lesben, trans only). The district tour is open to all genders, however, please note: Due to time limitations and probably bad weather, the outdoor activity might be quite short.
