is
trying to organise Mapathons across the world to help raise awareness of
OpenStreetMap and Missing Maps, and the effect these projects can have on
local communities across the world.

The aim of the Missing Maps Project
<https://openstreetmap.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f9d4c3db0d039ad4bed7a1489&id=40771ddb3c&e=baecf94743>
is
to map the most crisis-prone parts of the developing world. With your help
we can directly improve the lives of some of the planet’s most vulnerable
people. Both beginners and experienced mappers are welcome to join this
mapathon, please choose your ticket according to your level of mapping
skills.
Where will we be mapping?

We will be mapping high priority tasks from the HOT Tasking Manager

.
What do I need?

Just a laptop (please bring your own with you), a mouse and enthusiasm
(mouse isn't absolutely necessary but makes the mapping A LOT faster).
Where is it?

Once again, we're very kindly hosted by the Toowong Library, located in
