KASOZI DENIS
Kasozi Denis is a geospatial enthusiast from Uganda with a background in community mapping and open data. His mapping journey began in his first year at university through the YouthMappers network, where he rose to leadership positions within his campus chapter. Through YouthMappers, Denis gained hands-on experience with GIS, collaborated with diverse teams, and received travel grants to attend international workshops in Ethiopia and Kenya.
After university, Denis began volunteering with OpenStreetMap Uganda, where his community involvement earned him an opportunity to support a mapping project in The Gambia. He now works with RippleNami as a Quality Assurance Tester.

Session
In this extended session we want to discuss what motivates people to join the OpenStreetMap community and what makes them stay. Hear the stories of Denis Kasozi, Bayazid Ahmed and Prativa Thapa, three of our community members coming from different backgrounds and countries. Then join our speakers and the session host Walter Mayeku in an extended QA session to share experiences how people come to be part of the contributors.
