Ladies Mapping Party
Dear Ladies,
Do you want to change the world? Join us at iHub on 12 February 2011 for a Mapping Party using Google Map Maker! There are places around the globe that still do not have access to high quality maps, but we can change this using Google Map Maker. We are going to be working together to map out Kenya, building a better map for everyone in the world to see.
No experience is necessary and all you need to bring is your local expertise, a good attitude, and your laptop. This will be a really fun group activity, and at the end of the Mapping Party we will be able to see how much we have contributed to the community. Just take a look at this YouTube video of Da Lat, Vietnam for inspiration
Please RSVP by 2 February 2011 to confirm your attendance at the Mapping Party.
You can see more examples of Google Map Maker transforming the world at http://www.youtube.com/user/googlemapmaker and if you have any questions or require any clarifications, please email: galsonmaps@gmail.com .

Ladies, how about contributing to an open source map, rather than a corporate owned map?
@mikel – exactly what I was going to say too!
Why not contribute to an open project where at least the generated data is free for anyone else to add/edit/reuse?
@Mikel how open is Open Street map anyway……I really hate this!
Hey,what time is the event?
8am – 5pm
