In celebration of GIS Day and National OpenStreetMap Geo Week, San Francisco State's Institute for Geographic Information Science (IGISc) will host a Missing Maps event. Our goal is to help map vulnerable places in the lesser developed world so that local and international NGOs, communities, and individuals can use the maps and the data to better respond to crises affecting these areas.

Agenda:

5:30 - 6:00 An Introduction to OpenStreetMap + Pizza

6:00 - 8:00 Mapathon!

What to bring: There are 24 desktop computers available in the space, but bring a laptop and mouse if you prefer to work with your own equipment.

How to prepare: No previous mapping experience is necessary to participate! If you are brand new to Open Street Map, we recommend checking out this video in advance: http://mapgive.state.gov/learn-to-map/
