Mappers
Hungry for maps? Join teachers, students, community groups, and map lovers around the world as we come together to celebrate geography and OpenStreetMap. Geography Awareness Week is November 16-22, with GIS Day on November 19. Working with National Geographic Society, we're promoting OSM in Education, with events held at colleges universities, clubs and groups around the globe. On Friday, November 21st, National Geographic will be hosting the flagship OpenStreetMap mapping party, based on this year’s theme, “The Future of Food." We're working on food related mapping projects and mapping guides ... mapping farmers markets, agricultural areas in developed and developing countries, food pantries. More details on http://osmgeoweek.org/. And we'll be launching the first version of http://teachosm.org/ (still in development), guides for bringing OSM into the classroom. We're working for these events to make a big splash, and will be developing visualizations and tools to track all the activity. Would be excellent to have you involved! Organize an event in your part of the world (at a formal school, or out in the "school of life") and we'll promote on the site, and support however we can. If you're interested to take part, then: 1) Send along info about your event http://osmgeoweek.org/events/ 2) Join TeachOSM list to hear more details https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/teachosm 3) Stay tuned for more details on the mapping projects -Mikel
