The aim of the Missing Maps Project <https://openstreetmap.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f9d4c3db0d039ad4bed7a1489&id=40771ddb3c&e=baecf94743> is to map the most crisis-prone parts of the developing world. With your help we can directly improve the lives of some of the planet’s most vulnerable people. Both beginners and experienced mappers are welcome to join this mapathon, please choose your ticket according to your level of mapping skills. Where will we be mapping? We will be mapping high priority tasks from the HOT Tasking Manager <https://openstreetmap.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f9d4c3db0d039ad4bed7a1489&id=d4513200a5&e=baecf94743> . What do I need? Just a laptop (please bring your own with you), a mouse and enthusiasm (mouse isn't absolutely necessary but makes the mapping A LOT faster). Where is it? Once again, we're very kindly hosted by the Toowong Library, located in Toowong Village Shopping Centre at 9 Sherwood Rd, Toowong, or http://www. openstreetmap.org/way/529373044 <https://openstreetmap.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f9d4c3db0d039ad4bed7a1489&id=7ab1c212e6&e=baecf94743> in OpenStreetMap. <https://openstreetmap.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f9d4c3db0d039ad4bed7a1489&id=adff0fc1af&e=baecf94743> -- http://dbdean.com
