This reflects the first concrete step following our meeting on December 2 in order to bring our expertise to organizations helping homeless people.<br><br>Concretely this event type Citizen ' Mapathon' aims to map out (OpenStreetMaps) useful resources for people in precarious situations.<br><br><br>This is a first Brussels collaborative experience in this thematic, admittedly imperfect, but which following long-term vision :<br><br>- Create additional bridge between associations and citizens<br><br>- Cooperation- collaboration to avoid doingsolitarily what could be done together<br><br>- Maximize the use of existing free resources<br><br>- Production of well-organized resources to minimize update and maintenance tasks<br><br>and so contributing directly to many organizations, similar (but different) to what is done by the HOT team to NGOs like the Red Cross and MSF (<a href="https://www.cartong.org/news/collaboration-hotmsfcartong-guinea-crisis">https://www.cartong.org/news/collaboration-hotmsfcartong-guinea-crisis</a>). The significance of this day is to evaluate if this initiative is working and realize its opportunities but also its limitations, and if necessary make adjustments ((in-) training, drafting a charter, development of new tools ...).<br><br><br>To provide training for field workers, we would start the day with an introduction of the given tool by 1-2 people from OSM. Once this step is completed, volunteers may begin adding new data (cue points, fountains, toilets, etc.), Making the map a valuable tool...<br><br><br>Do not hesitate to give your feedback before Wednesday 3, the idea is to launch official invitations Thursday, February 4th.<br><br><br><br>More information on the shared document: <a href="https://mypads.framapad.org/mypads/?/mypads/group/cartopartie-27-02-2015-k331q7cd/pad/view/cartopartie-27-02-2015-z632q762" target="_blank">https://mypads.framapad.org/mypads/?/mypads/group/cartopartie-27-02-2015-k331q7cd/pad/view/cartopartie-27-02-2015-z632q762</a><br><br><br>Once the version is finalized, we could translate it into NL and ENGL and put it on the wiki OSGeo and ...<br><br><br>For the board, is it ok to put on the OSGeo Wiki that there is a OSGeo.be collaboration with Poppy and Dewey?<br><br><br>Thank you in advance for your return and nice afternoon to all of you,<br><br><br>Maë//e<div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">2016-01-22 12:19 GMT+01:00 Maelle Vercauteren <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mavercau@ulb.ac.be" target="_blank">mavercau@ulb.ac.be</a>></span>:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi,<br><br>The « mapping party for homeless people » will take place in Brussels at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, <br><br>on Saturday, February 27. <br><br>Save the date!!!<br><br><br>As a reminder, we would like to help mapping of Brussels facilities and services for homeless people.
