[OSM-talk-be] open summer of code: cycling event

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

This Open Summer of Code, we'll be supporting two projects about cycling
data in OpenStreetMap. We'll be working with the Brussels region to check
and complete their cycle route data in OSM. Then that data, mapped in OSM,
will be used to build an app to guide cyclists along those cycle networks.
Several advanced students will do this over a month in July.

There will be some mapping work to do! So we're organizing an event on July
21st where you are welcome to help out on these projects. With the support
of Open Belgium, this event became a bit larger. Several organisations
(Fietsersbond, Antwerpen aan 't Woord, Horizontal Cities) will join, and
talk about how they use or create open cycling data. In the afternoon, it's
up to us to give workshops on how to contribute to OSM data for cyclists
and about the tools that are available to help organisations like these
with data collection and making maps for their networks.

This is an invitiation to participate, and especially to join and give a
workshop. We could work on things like tagging best practices, use of
Mapcontrib for easy data collection, Umap and overpass for easy webmaps and
more technical solutions.

Send a mail to community at osm.be if you're willing to help out.
