The Ebola outbreak has been devastating in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia and Doctors Without Borders/other aid organizations need all the support they can get. This is a volunteer digitizing event using Open Street Map to provide detailed digital data to aid workers on the ground in West Africa.
Anyone can join, even if you have no experience. There will be food provided (pizza, snacks, fruit, juice).
-Please bring a laptop and mouse if you can but we will have some computers provided if you don't have access to one
-We have limited space so please reserve a ticket (costs $0) with the "Get Tickets" button at the upper right of the screen
