At a mapathon, mappers meet and map a task from a HOT project to support people and, above all, the aid organisations working there after disasters. The mappers meet in one place and bring their laptops and mice. The organiser provides electricity, food and drinks.

Stand build up day 2

OSM stand on day 2 – before the crowds of visitors

On day 2 of the Maker Faire Vienna 2019, the stream of visitors did not abate. Numerous visitors came again who wanted to find out more about OpenstreetMap.

Many of them came into contact with the map for the first time, while others already use it regularly in their private or professional lives. Another group of people actively contributes to the map, were happy to see us and thanked us for the map and the opportunities it has given them. Since we don’t maintain the map, we are happy to pass on our thanks to the OSM community! One of the key messages of our information was that OSM is a community project and only works through the work of each individual.
