Session
This proposal outlines my journey into the tech sector via OpenStreetMap (OSM) as a woman with no prior tech background. I'll share my transformation from beginner mapper to proficient user, skilled in OSM mapping and QGIS for data analysis.In a field where women's representation is limited, my involvement in OSM Tech stands as a testament to breaking barriers and fostering inclusivity—an opportunity provided to me by OpenMap Development Tanzania (OMDTZ). I’ll show the significance of providing equal opportunities and a supportive environment for women in technology in OSM and highlight the potential of OSM as a catalyst for personal and professional advancement.
