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. We have been developing the program to support and facilitate the open knowledge for the OSM Indonesia communities that we presented into four main activities, Fun Mapping, Mapping Talk, Mapathon and POI Academy.
Fun Mapping
Fun mapping is a live streaming activity (Zoom and YouTube) as a forum for conversations with the community in updating open mapping innovations and topics chosen and raised by the community. This activity is conducted every two weeks at 4.00 – 5.00 PM Jakarta time. Currently we have 756 members in OpenStreetMap Indonesia telegram with 41 active participants each day to disscuss and discover open mapping in Indonesia. We will discover and evaluate the priority topic from their enthusiastic to continue discuss and meet in fun mapping session. Stay tuned via our social media for this activity.
