There’s a #MiniDebConf next month in #Mumbai, and I’ll be giving a 30-minute talk about “Āzād (Libre) Maps and Why You Should Use Them”. (As you may have guessed, my subject is #OpenStreetMap and #SoftwareFreedom 🙂)

There will also be an #OSM mapping party to learn how to contribute, and to have fun improving the map together!

(My participation is made possible thanks to a travel grant I receive from @fossunited - thank you!)
