[talk-ph] OSM-PH @ Software Freedom Day 2011

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hi guys,

Software Freedom Day 2011 will already be held this coming Saturday,
September 17 at the University of Santo Tomas.

OpenStreetMap Philippines will be conducting a workshop on OSM at 1 of
the 5 breakout sessions in the afternoon from 1 to 4 pm at the AMV
Hall <http://osm.org/go/4zhQl5P24--?m>. We are sharing the timeslot
with Ushahidi who will talk about crowdsourcing humanitarian crisis
information.

For the workshop, we plan to introduce OSM to the attendees (most of
them are college students), have a mini-mapping party in and around
UST (there are lots of unmapped POIs), and show them how to edit and
contribute data to OSM.

As of September 3, there are already 1,600 registered participants to
SFD as a whole. So I'm expecting that there would be around 200-300
people (!!!) attending the OSM workshop.

Feel free to join the fun! We could definitely use a lot of hands. :-)

Eugene
