As a part of NUSSD Digital Literacy Trainers' Training Programme, Gnowledge
Lab is organising a one day hands-on workshop on "Contributing to Open
Street Map (OSM)" on 06-12-2013

OSM is community driven and an open data effort to build maps with data
about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the
world. The project uses diverse methods for contribution from the people
and also emphasises on local knowledge.

Local area mapping and contributing to OSM is one of the projects for the
NUSSD Digital Literacy course. The workshop will cover the basics of
mapping, and some advanced topics.

For more information about the project please visit:

The workshop will be guided by Arun Ganesh. Arun is an expert in mapping
and has been contributing to the OSM project for a long time.

Time: 10 am to 3 pm
