Session
Improving the map in OpenStreetMap involves data availability and reliability. Through the operations in which they are involved, organizations have a vast amount of data at their disposal, much of which is confidential and goes against the spirit of Open Data, which is all about sharing. This session will show how the OSMer in Residence program has fostered this paradigm shift through collaboration between HOT's Western and Northern Africa Hub and Médeçins Sans Frontières
