Hi guys, I'll just give a short background regarding this event.
Early this year, OSMPH was invited to help out with the crowd-sourced mapping aspects of the New Mobility Project (“Catalyzing New Mobility in Cities: The Case of Metro Manila”), which is spearheaded by the Ateneo School of Government through their Innovations at the Base of the Pyramid in Southeast Asia (iBoP Asia) initiative. They had a project launch last January 31 and February 1 where the target area to be used as an example was North Triangle in Quezon City. Rally attended that event and we were all pleasantly surprised to see OSM used as the map. You can check the write-up of that event from Smart here: <http://www.um-smart.org/blog/2012/02/08/smart-e-news-february-2012/> Some photos from that event showing OSM maps are the following: http://www.um-smart.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/12-2-7_Manila-Mapping6.jpg http://www.um-smart.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/12-2-7_Manila-Mapping5.jpg http://www.um-smart.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/12-2-7_Manila-Mapping.jpg The project had another event on March 13 and the target area was the Ortigas CBD. So this April 21 event is just another one in a series of events for the New Mobility Project (NeMo). This time the target is non-motorized transport (i.e., cycling) and the groups invited are cycling advocates like the Firefly Brigade. I hope many of you can come. :) Eugene On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 6:31 PM, maning sambale <[email protected]> wrote: > Corrected link to invitation: > https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-2WZQ1DwK_xdnhYQTljWVJfLTQ > > On Mon, Apr 16, 2012 at 6:24 PM, maning sambale > <[email protected]> wrote: >> Dear everyone, >> >> We are invited to facilitate a mapping workshop for non-motorized >> transport.
