Mapping Training
From Map Kibera
This page serves as a repository for materials and minutes of the training sessions given by Sébastien to the mappers of MapKibera.

Goals
At the end of the training, the mappers should be autonomous in surveying and editing the collected data into OpenStreetMap as well as making use of the data. This implies being able to:
- install the necessary software on a computer
- operate a GPS unit
- understand how data is structured in OSM
- suggest new tags when needed
- monitor the quality of the data
- extract thematic data
- generate a map, generic or thematic
The survey of water sanitation in Kibera will be conducted in parallel to the training, and thus will provide study materials.
A longer-term goal is to have the mappers initiate a new community in a new area.
