Hello,

Please join us for the third Missing Maps Glasgow event on Thursday 2nd
July from 6pm to 9pm.

The Missing Maps <http://www.missingmaps.org/> project helps Médecins Sans
Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and the Red Cross by creating maps
of vulnerable places, providing a vital resource for their on-the-ground
staff as well as local people.

Missing Maps mapathons are open to everyone. You can come and learn how to
create maps and contribute to a global mapping project, OpenStreetMap
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap>. All you need is a laptop,
some spare time and enthusiasm, and you can take part in humanitarian work
from Glasgow.

At our Missing Maps event in Glasgow people will be on hand to help you
learn how to map at your own pace. If you want to know more about how you
can prepare for a mapathon, this guide
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Missing_Maps_Mapathons_-_before_the_event>
gives some tips.

We are being generously hosted by The Project Cafe
<http://theprojectcafe.weebly.com/>, an amazing community space and social
enterprise cafe. We will be at the Cafe from 6pm but people are welcome to
arrive when they like. We will be mapping till around 9pm and you can join
at any point.

The venue is limited to around 30 people, so please use this Eventbrite link
<http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/missing-maps-glasgow-3-tickets-17557817906>
to register your place for the night, as well as this Facebook event
<https://www.facebook.com/events/1434801163510553/> to share with others.

Anyone with experience of editing OpenStreetMap and who would be happy to
help newcomers would be particularly welcome in joining for the evening.

If you have any questions, please let me know, and I look forward to
hopefully seeing some of you there.

Best,
Duncan
