OpenStreetMap Georgia

If you’re interested in open data, maps, or just exploring and adding value to a great community project, you are welcome to join the OpenStreetMap (OSM) Georgia community.  OSM is a collaborative mapmaking platform and unlike services like Google, you can map whatever you want and all the data is open-source, making it valuable for everybody, not just company stockholders.

Our little group communicates on Facebook (facebook.com/groups/osmgeorgia/).  Feel free to join and introduce yourself.

This SATURDAY we are having a mapping party in Tbilisi!  This means getting together to map a neighborhood, drink beer, and get to know each other.  RSVP here (https://www.facebook.com/events/552409338213493)

If you would like to learn more about the project as a whole, visit openstreetmap.org.  There are also some step-by-step tutorials online at learnosm.org and wiki.openstreetmap.org.
