OSM Triple Mapping Party: Dar es Salaam, London, Vilnius

Three Countries, Three Time Zones, Three Tech Hubs – One Crowd 2 Map Tanzania

Crowd2Map Tanzania was one of 7 projects selected in the Open Seventeen challenge, which rallies the public to use open data as a means of achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as proposed but the UN in September 2015! Partners are  Citizen Cyberlab, The GovLab, ONE and SciFabric!   As part of the project we are organizing a triple mapping day in Dar+London+Vilnius.

This will be a fun female-friendly competition-hackathon between the three "camps", as all will compare the results at the end, and  bridge techies in the 3 locations via video conference and chat throughout the event across locations.  This will be coupled with a "challenge" in Tanzania, e.g. three areas/schools/villages will  compete between themselves, i.e. who adds the most resources. Current data is here Instructions to add data are here.
