I have no simple topic for a lecture. Though I wonder if it's possible to do an OpenStreetMap[1] mapping session instead. Note that it cannot be done at the standard place because: 1. We need to add data. I suspect the Technion campus is already well-charted. 2. We later need to upload data and edit it. This requires internet connectivity. Generally I would expect this to be done in small teams where each team must have: * BigBrother: with a GPS device monitoring the location. That trace should then be later to his/her OpenStreetMap account for easier mapping in a different computer. * Mapper: Someone who knows what we actually need to chart (and what we don't have to / shouldn't) A team should probably include 1-3 other participants. After finishing to cover an area, the team should move on to a place with an internet access and update the data.
