</i><br class="gmail_msg">
Abstract: Missing Maps is a crowdsourced mapping project, where 1000s of individuals dedicate hours of their time to tracing geographical features from satellite images. To an outside observer, it can look mind numbing, but these volunteers are providing NGOs
and others with vital datasets that otherwise would not exist. For MSF, Missing Maps volunteers have directly contributed to the provision of occupational health services in Bangladesh, mass vaccination campaigns in the Democratic Republic of Congo, cholera
readiness in Sierra Leone and much more. Find out how by coming to hear this imaginatively titled talk.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
After the talk, we will be mapping northern Nigeria together to support the MSF emergency response unit. Come, join us to learn how to help to produce maps from satellite images to support humanitarian work and have a lot of fun (and nice pizza too).<br class="gmail_msg">
