Is an open-street-maps event is appropriate to promote on social? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Janet Chapman <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 4:34 AM Subject: Tanzania crowdsourced mapping project selected for Open Seventeen challenge To: Victor Grigas <[email protected]> Dear Victor I hope you are well. I thought you might be interested in this project I started. If you’re able to help promote the project, and in particular the hackathon that would be fantastic. In February our Crowd2Map Tanzania <https://crowd2map.wordpress.com/> project was one of the 7 projects selected in the *Open Seventeen challenge* <http://openseventeen.org/>, which rallies the public to use open data as a means of achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as proposed but the UN in September 2015! We are now excited to carry on with the help of O17 partners – Citizen Cyberlab <http://www.citizencyberlab.org/>, The GovLab <http://www.thegovlab.org/>, ONE <http://www.one.org/international/> and SciFabric <http://scifabric.com/>! We’re tackling *Goal 11: creating sustainable cities & communities *and* Goal 4: education* *through technology*.*Goal 11: creating sustainable cities & communities *and* Goal 4: education* *through technology*. As part of the project we are organizing a triple mapping day in Dar+London+Vilnius involving Marieme Jamme from Africa Gathering, Rosy Mondardini from O17 and Egle Marija Ramanauskaite from Technology.org on *Saturday May 7th.* This will be a fun female-friendly competition-hackathon between the three "camps", as all will compare the results at the end, and bridge techies in the 3 locations via video conference and chat throughout the event across locations. This will be coupled with a "challenge" for the locals, e.g. three areas/schools/villages will compete between themselves, i.e. who adds the most resources.
