Monthly Meetups in Leuven

I’d like to start Meetups in Leuven again, every last Wednesday of the month.

For the first one we’ll follow up on the National Mapathon we had about a month ago. But the intent is to touch all topics related to OpenStreetMap.

  • Cycle and hiking routes

  • Photo mapping using Mapillary or OpenStreetCam

  • Use of apps like OsmAnd and Maps.ME on smartphones

  • Rendering thematic maps using Maperitive of Mapbox

  • Overpass API

  • Harder topics like mapping public transport

  • Or all the buildins and addresses in Flanders

  • Later on we can also invite somebody to explain how to work with OpenStreetMap data using QGIS

  • We can use a computer room with projection and wifi on the university campus Celestijnenlaan 200C in Heverlee.

My preference is to use JOSM. We’ll start off with an introduction, do some mapping for HOT and maybe some of you want to learn how to validate tasks for a HOT project.
