[HOT] Invitation: Access for All Mapathon, November 19th

[Courtney Clark]

Hello –



The OpenStreetMap Institutions group is pleased to invite you to our
OpenStreetMap
Geography Awareness Week 2015 <http://osmgeoweek.org/> hub event, the Access
for All Mapathon
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/access-for-all-osm-geoweek-2015-tickets-19153645068>,
on Thursday November 19th from 6:30-9:00 PM EST both at the Peace Corps
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/66681070> in Washington, DC and
virtually. This event is hosted by the Peace Corps, State Department
(MapGive and Educational and Cultural Affairs Bureau), USAID (GeoCenter),
American Red Cross (Missing Maps) and the World Bank’s Global Facility for
Disaster Reduction and Recovery in celebration of OSMGeoWeek and
International Education Week.



OSM GeoWeek 2015 calls on teachers, students, community groups,
governments, private sector and map lovers around the world to come
together to celebrate geography and make maps with OpenStreetMap, the free
and openly editable map of the world. The purpose of this event is to
actively contribute to OpenStreetMap (we'll have a training for beginners).
We'll also feature keynote addresses on the importance of open geographic
data from top government and institutional leaders and lightning talks from
a variety of OSM community members on how OSM data is used in humanitarian
and development applications.



Please RSVP to attend either in-person or virtually as soon as possible here
<https://accessforallmapathon.eventbrite.com/>, because space is limited.
Please bring a laptop and mouse, as the focus of this event is active
mapping. The Peace Corps will have a few laptops and mice available to
borrow; you may reserve one by emailing Courtney Clark at
cclark2 at peacecorps.gov. Preference for laptops will be given to students.
