Is an open-street-maps event is appropriate to promote on social?

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 <https://crowd2map.wordpress.com/> project
was one of the 7 projects selected in the *Open Seventeen challenge*
<http://openseventeen.org/>, 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*.*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 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.
