OpenStreetMap Spring #editathon

Smart Chicago Collaborative (http://www.smartchicagocollaborative.org/) will be hosting an OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/) Spring #editathon on Saturday, April 26, 2014 from 12:00 - 5:00 PM CST. Ian Dees (https://twitter.com/iandees), a member of the OSM US Board (http://openstreetmap.us/2013/10/meet-the-new-board/), will be the host of this event. We’re excited to have regular Chicago residents -people who know all about their communities and want to share with the world - to get involved in OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/).

If the weather is nice, we’ll also be going outside to do some hands-on mapping in the Loop. We’ll supply some paper maps, pens, and clipboards to make mapping easier, but bring a phone to take pictures.

This should be a great event for anyone to get involved in mapping their communities and to learn about OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/122604).
