The 355 participants of the National Mapathon managed to get a lot of work done. Those tasks need to be reviewed and either corrected and validated. Or they should be rejected and feedback sent to the mappers, so they can learn from the experience. Don't worry, if you don't have any mapping experience, everything will be explained from the ground up and there are always projects on tasks.hotosm.org that are easy to map. Everybody with an interest in mapping on OpenStreetMap.org is welcome to participate. We'll be mapping using the JOSM editor in a fully equipped computer room. You can bring your own laptop too. Please have the latest version of Java installed in that case. We'll also discuss mapping our own local environment and how anybody can contribute to the map by making horizontal imagery (a sequence of geotagged pictures made with a smartphone using Mapillary or OpenStreetCam). Then we'll have a look at how to make use of all that data by installing OsmAND or Maps.ME apps on your smartphones. We'll discuss what OpenStreetMap related topics to discuss during the next meetup, as we're planning for this Meetup to be the first in a series organised on a monthly basis.

Open bike data and maps are part of the solution towards more bike-friendly cities. The good thing is... you as a citizen can help improve these data and maps! On July 21st, Open Knowledge Belgium is organising in partnership with the Brussels-Capital Region and OpenStreetMap Belgium, a full-day event of talks and workshops on how to create, edit and share open bike data and maps with OpenStreetMap. This event aims to gather all different actors in the fields of open bike data and maps and is absolutely open to everyone who wants to learn more about these topics. Come and join us to learn, meet and discuss the power of open knowledge! En savoir plus

Modern agriculture relies ever more on the availability of accurate, diverse and continuous information from a variety of data and services. Earth Observation has a clear potential to help address these agricultural needs. This workshop intends to explore the variety of data sources available and provide a common forum for institutional, scientific and commercial users. It will bring together satellite data and service providers, value adding companies and commercial, public and scientific users, thus closing the loop between user information needs and the evolution of applications based on current space borne data sets and future observation requirements. Furthermore this workshop will showcase the large potential of synergistically using satellite observations for agricultural applications and their benefit for society. The workshop will provide a discussion forum to share knowledge about the evolution of user needs and future data systems currently being elaborated. Finally, the workshop will provide an opportunity to build capacity in the agricultural user community. The workshop is open to Current and potential future operational users of Earth Observation data and information services, including commercial users, value adding industry, meteorological and hydrological forecasting services, regional authorities for agricultural management, Copernicus Services etc. Scientific and institutional users Decision makers and funding agencies
