Sessions
The workshop is designed for beginner to intermediate mappers to better understand good practices and useful tools while performing data validation on OSM.
During the session it will be presented how to discover and interact with mappers in the area to be validated, as well as how to use JOSM plugins and web tools as ResultMaps, Osmose, Whodidit and OSMCha to analyze errors and changesets.
Participants are requested to bring their laptops and mouses to practice together. Basic understanding of JOSM is welcome but not necessary

This presentation will introduce a download service of OpenStreetMap GIS layers in English, but also in French for French-speaking areas. In addition to the translation aspect, this service is intended as a proof of concept for an approach that is interoperable, flexible and replicable: it uses open source software components, some of which are supported by OSGeo, and interoperable WMS and WFS protocols of the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium), while providing detailed OSM data for the countries in question.
