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 project was one of the 7 projects selected in the Open Seventeen challenge, 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, The GovLab, ONE and SciFabric! 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 7^th.  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. Current data is here Instructions to add data are here.
