September #OpenStreetMap stats in the #Philippines : new volunteers contributing to #MaPampanga of @HOTOSM_Ph 🎉 doubled editor numbers compared to August.

Meanwhile, the #OSMaPaaralan project volunteers has gone past 60% of the tasks, with 32,185 total schools in OSM

Last night's #WeMap session had ~37 participants not just from the #Philippines but also folks from#Australia, #Mexico and #NewZealand.

Thank you to everyone who made the session possible, especially those who contributed during #MapaTime and validated data in #Pampanga, for the local #HOTOSM #MAPampanga campaign to create better #OpenData for disaster preparedness.

Dacal pung salamat (thank you) to all participants, volunteers, and crew from the local #OSMph and other map-py friends

Last month, contributors to #OpenStreetMap in the Philippines made 14,130 map changes, a 21% drop from February surge due to #Taal2020Eruption activities.

Despite that, number is above the PHL average for 2019.

The drop in contributors (still surprisingly high) and the map changes is attributable to the #covid19PH response in the country.

Tonight, 1 Apr, Wed, 19:30 (UTC +8) the local OSM community is hosting #MapaTime as #weMap for #MAPampanga. Full details here: is.gd/dox14p

After last week's full house, with #MapaTime participants from as far north as Baguio, and down south as Australia, we invite you again this Wed, 1 Apr, 19:30 as #WeMap the culinary capital of the #Philippines, to support the #MAPampanga campaign of #HOTOSMphilippines

No experience is required. All you need is a computer, a mouse, a reliable internet, and the heart of a humanitarian.

The free #webinar covers the iD editor, and a mapathon thereafter.
