Map-a-thon
Details
We decided it would be fun to get together and all collaborate on a mapping project. We will have a project for those wanting to learn OpenStreetMap (OSM) or in need of a project, however, feel free to bring a project of your own to work on in a nerd environment (I mean, community setting).
Don't forget your own power cord, mouse, and laptop!
If you do not have an OpenStreetMap account, feel free to do that ahead of time by watching this YouTube and following the instructions: https://www.youtube.com/embed/HDPvn1yg64w
