Bakiga people of #Uganda everyone is minding their own business.

A few days ago, OpenStreetMap hit 180 million changesets with this one: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/180000000
Great milestone, but even better to see that it's a contribution linked to the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team ("HOT"), by a new but prolific contributor adding lots of data in #Uganda.

Never too late to get started with filling the gaps and updating existing data on OSM, you could start with this tutorial: https://learnosm.org/en/beginner/start-osm/

Funny me! all this weekend I havee been trying to convince my friends how awesome #Mastodon is. I love how it connects me with people who share the same ideas and #values. In #Uganda, many people still don’t know it, so I guess I have work to do 😄 And I have already convinced 3 friends to join soon. Grateful for it!!
