Our Mission
Through spatial analysis, we aim to produce information that is accurate, open, and accessible to the public.
We seek to reach out and build capacity for people from various sectors such as grassroots, open-source communities, and universities as agents of change.
Through the use of free and open software We are committed to producing good quality and relevant data in answering the needs of society.
Pekumpulan OpenStreetMap Indonesia aims to create a vibrant community of OpenStreetMap contributors and users in Indonesia and provide a platform where members can exchange ideas and support each other.
In the coming years, we hope to map the country fully on OpenStreetMap and strongly advocate for its use within different groups. This can only be done sustainably by mapping while applying OSM to create solutions we face locally.
Through collaboration projects, we will create an open and diverse community of OpenStreetMap contributors in Indonesia, develop and support local initiatives that are aimed at improving OpenStreetMap in Indonesia, and promote the use of open data, including OpenStreetMap and FOSS in Indonesia. We hope to engage with different organizations, communities and government institutions as we continue to grow.
