[Talk-mn] OSM-Mongolia - November 15 Mapping Party

[Russell Deffner]

OSM-Mongolia Mailing List,


On behalf of MUB IT, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and the World Bank
Mongolia you are invited to participate in this OpenStreetMap network event,
to be held at the IFC Level 4 MCS Plaza on Friday 15th November 2013 from
3-6pm. Here on OSM: http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/47.91486/106.91277 

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a wiki-style web project to create a free and open
map of the entire world, built entirely by people surveying with GPS,
digitizing aerial imagery and collecting and liberating existing public
sources of geographic data.  The OSM initiative has the potential to boost
Ulaanbaatar's social and economic development and it will provide free
geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. It's a massive
online collaboration with hundreds and thousands of registered users
worldwide. 

The World Bank and Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) have been working
with the MUB IT department and Ulaanbaatar's university students to develop
the potential for this exciting program which is taking off around the
globe. We invite you to join us for an informal gathering to learn more
about the OSM initiative, how mapping can actually be done by individuals,
participate in a practical outdoors mapping activity, hear about its various
applications and uses, and network with others interested in OSM.

For catering purposes please confirm your attendance with a reply to the
Talk-mn list.

We look forward to your participation.
