Organizing OpenStreetMap mapping parties
mapping parties I've been asked a number of times to provide tips on organizing mapping parties. I don't claim to be an authority on the matter - I'm still figuring things out.
This should not be considered perfect advice, for I'm constantly observing, fine-tuning, and sometimes changing my approach wholesale, to give the best experience to participants and to attract as many people as I can to the magical world of OpenStreetMap contribution. It's easy to pick a proprietary network like Telegram or an unsustainable one like Matrix, but for sake of your community's privacy and freedom, I strongly recommend avoiding that temptation and using Jabber/XMPP instead. It may provide more long-term engagement than editing in Organic Maps and OsmAnd, because of the satellite imagery, different modes, more operations and feature types, and richer forms.
