Volunteering
As you know, ’State of the Map Europe’ is a non-profit event, and for organizational purposes we need people who can help us on a volunteer basis.
During the event, we will need volunteers who will be ready to support us in Łódź — mainly on the premises of the Łódź University of Technology (unless other requirements are mentioned). To check what we need and what we offer in return, please see this page: https://stateofthemap.eu/volunteering.html For volunteers from outside Łódź, a limited accommodation will be available.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the conference!
OSM Poland board
OpenStreetMap Poland is a Local Chapter of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, which supports the OpenStreetMap project.
OpenStreetMap was founded in 2004 and is an international project to create a free map of the world. To do so, we, thousands of volunteers, collect data about roads, railways, rivers, forests, buildings and a lot more worldwide. Our map data can be downloaded for free by everyone and used for any purpose – including commercial usage. It is possible to produce your own maps which highlight certain features, to calculate routes etc. OpenStreetMap is increasingly used when one needs maps which can be very quickly, or easily, updated.
The OSM Foundation (OSMF) will have a presence at SotM Europe, including a talk by Mateusz Konieczny about the OSMF board: “OSMF board – what are they even doing?”
You can also come to the OSM Foundation booth to ask questions, become a member (see also https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/#Membership-Categories), donate or to get free OSM stickers and maybe sweets 🙂
Thanks to OSM Poland for providing the booth space 🙂
