OSMF Support
I would like to say thanks to all SOTM organizers for their work. Then Dorothea Kazazi for her accompaniment during the travel preparation. She did awesome work for all of us to make sure that we got visas, the accommodation, the flights and the train tickets. The travel guide was so helpful to travel from Frankfurt to Heidelberg.
New knowledge acquired
The scholarship provided us an entry not only at SOTM but at HOT summit also. The 5 days of the workshop and conference were all interesting. It almost became a challenge for me to decide which one I’m going to. There are some sessions that I attended and I would like to share:
- Hands On Experience Extracting Meaningful OSM Data by Using Amazon Athena with AWS Public Datasets, you can see here
- Using Machine Learning to Improve Humanitarian Action, Slide
- Spatial Indexes for OSM in PostGIS, here
- The Academic and Mapping Communities in OSM, here
- Share Edits and Insights with the Overpass Tools, here
I also learned about OSM activity around the world during the “Scholar Lightning Talks” and the “Bilingual Breakout Session” in which I had an opportunity to present OSM Madagascar.
