Twitter – . https://twitter.com/Crowd2Map @Crowd2Map are involving local communities in rural #Tanzania to develop #openstreetmap & put unmarked villages on the map
Crowd2Map Tanzania https://crowd2map.wordpress.com/ project was one of the 7 projects selected in the http://openseventeen.org/ 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 http://www.citizencyberlab.org/ , The GovLab http://www.thegovlab.org/ , ONE http://www.one.org/international/ and SciFabric http://scifabric.com/ ! We’re tackling 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 on Saturday May 7th. This will be a fun female-friendly competition-hackathon between the three "camps", as all will compare the results at the end, and bridge people in the 3 locations via video conference and chat throughout the event. Please get involved and support this grassroots volunteer run project – more information at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1551808625147532/
Thanks

Hi Janet -
The most appropriate thing to do is to send the message you'd like us to share to this email:
social-media@lists.wikimedia.org mailto:social-media@lists.wikimedia.org
Where the tweet/facebook post can be publicly debated before it is shared - the wiki way :)
Hope this helps

Hi
We’ve set up a competition to promote interest in this – with monthly prizes totalling approx. $70 – do you think Wikimedia would have any interest in supporting this please? Or if not anyone else you know of?
Details are here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1551808625147532/files/
Thanks
Janet

I thought entering data in open street map was part of wikimedia?
Thanks

Yes - I believe it is!
Let me check with my team.

Hi Janet -
Thanks for thinking of me -
IDK if WMF can promote exactly, I'm unclear how this might relate to Wikipedia? Can you explain?

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.

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 7th. 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 http://plus.epicollect.net/TDTschoolsResourceMap/Resources Instructions to add data are here. https://dochub.com/janetchapman/55m2Yl/epicollectplus-instructions?dt=atrmqrjn337gtmn2
