Invitation is extended to two Map Kibera events at the UN East Africa Centre this week (OSM Map).
Of course, we’ve just finished three weeks of mapping in Kibera, the Map Kibera project, with great initial results.
We are now focusing on getting the data in use, and getting the techniques of OpenStreetMap in use, and generally promoting concepts of open data.
If you are interested in either of the events below, please RSVP ASAP by sending email to contact [at] mapkibera [dot] org, so I can reserve seats.
