What do I need to know to host a virtual event?
- Design your event friendly to newcomers, make sure there's someone to greet first timers and explain the fundamentals of OpenStreetMap and show them the first steps of editing and surveying.
- The rule is simple: anything you commit to OpenStreetMap, should contain the hashtag #osmgeoweek in the comment.
- Use MapRoulette or the Battle Grid to jump start editing!
- Your event can be an outside surveying event or an inside editing event.
- The location should have fast internet and a place to sit for everyone. Remind attendees to bring a computer, mouse, and any other devices you'll need for your event.
- Collect name and email from attendees, keep them to yourself. This information is to send on a feedback survey and only for survey purposes.
