Hi folks, Kindly share this with friends in Pune. Full invite forwarded below.
We will introduce OpenStreetMap, do some mapping together, and showcase its uses like the Overpass Turbo API. The Saturday event will have more time to do more hands-on mapping activities. We can also use help of volunteers at either of the events, just for basic guidance to first time mappers.
