Hi All, On International Open Data Day on Feb. 23, we are going to organize a mapathon here in Kathmandu 11-5pm local time. About 40 people have confirmed their participation here locally. It would be great if some you from HOT list could participate remotely. The focus of the Mapathon will be the digitization of building footprints in the Kathmandu Valley. We have already set up OSM Tasking Manager to coordinate this work. You will see the task here: *http://tasks.hotosm.org/#all*
