We

Red Cross with their Missing Maps project (http://www.missingmaps.org/),
a joint effort between the American Red Cross, British Red Cross, the
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, and Doctors Without Borders.
Please
join us at the time and locations indicated above to map roads and buildings in
some of the most vulnerable places around the world (e.g., Ecuador, Kenya,
Myanmar, and South Africa). No
experience or prior GIS background is needed! We will have the computers
for you to use at both locations. Food
and drinks will be provided.
Any
questions? Contact either Kathleen Stewart (stewartk@umd.edu) or Jianguo Ma (jma3@umd.edu) in Geographical Sciences, or Kelley O'Neal

for more information.
