[Qgis-user] OpenLitterMap needs your help

[Seán Lynch]

Hi,

I am the developer of OpenLitterMap.com

OpenLitterMap is an open, interactive and accessible database of the
world's litter and plastic pollution

<goog_1998914160>
github.com/openlittermap

I began this research in 2008 when I was introduced to GIS in 1st year
Geography in University here in Ireland

In 2013, I was doing a masters in GIS when I was introduced to
OpenStreetMap. Inspired by the crowdsourcing, open data and democratic
research community, I decided to apply the same principles and
OpenLitterMap was born.

Recently we have gone open source, and we would love your help improving
the platform.

A software paper with the tech stack is published here

You can find a lot more videos on youtube if you search for OpenLitterMap

including

My presentation at State of the Map in Heidelberg last year
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_qhEhHwUGM

Why litter mapping is an important catalyst for the development of citizen
science at ESA PhiWeek 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HuaQNeHuZ8

and more, including our first campaign video which is on our gofundme page
gofundme.com/openlittermap

Litter mapping is a relatively new and largely unexplored field of
GIScience. How is plastic moving across space and time? How can these maps
improve policy, the allocation of resources in society, and educate people
to stop throwing their stuff on the ground?

I have plans for more FOSS4G integrations soon, including
- OLM2QGIS geojson api requests
- Feed back improved address geocoding into OSM
and more!

This is my first app, and I have plans for a few more.

If you like it, I would love to hear from you!

Thanks,

Seán
