Salzburg

On January 23, 2020, the first mapathon of the year will take place in Salzburg!

The time passed quickly for us and today the AGIT came to an end. Despite a short night, we started the day full of energy and were available to help visitors with our knowledge.

On the last day, some visitors took OSM mugs from us in return for a small donation. We are always pleased when people are willing to support the OSM association in this way. Many thanks to the many donors.

Like yesterday, the weather was fantastically sunny again. I set off for the University of Salzburg shortly before 8 o’clock.

After a short walk, I set about reopening the OSM & OSGeo stand.

There is still a small amount of QGIS Cookies left over from the day before.

After yesterday’s preparation day, we didn’t have much work to do in the morning to get the stand ready for visitors.

This year, Markus came up with something special that was very well received by the visitors:

By the end of the day, almost all 40 cockies had been eaten.

This year, Markus and I are once again representing the OpenStreetMap Association Austria at AGIT. As last year, we will try to capture our impressions for you in the form of blog entries over the next few days.

Today began with packing up the trade fair materials in the morning, then loading them into the car, driving to Salzburg and finally setting up the stand.

Unfortunately, our departure was delayed by about two hours due to a medical incident, but we were finally able to make the journey together. Despite a small handicap, Markus was able to actively support me during the construction.
