State of the Map 2022/registration lightning talks
SotM 2022 Lightning Talks
Do you want to hold a lightning talk during SotM 2022? Lightning talks should be maximum 5 minutes long talks and be about a topic related to OpenStreetMap. Since SotM 2022 will be our first attempt at doing a hybrid conference, there's two options for holding a lightning talk:
- In person lightning talk in Firenze
- We plan to have at least 4 lightning talk sessions, so a minimum of 16 lightning talks.
- Registration will be on site at the SotM venue. Look out for a paper board.
- Pre-recorded lightning talk
- We currently plan to play these in a loop in a separate room, potentially mixed with various other videos, so there should be plenty of space for pre-recorded lightning talks.
- Deadline for registration and video upload:
12 August 2022 23:59:59 UTC16 August 2022 23:59:59 UTC
Just like in the case of regular talks, we can currently only accept both in-person and pre-recorded lightning talks in English.
As it currently stands, it will not be possible to use a personal device to present the slides, do demos, etc. If you need any slides during the in-person lightning talk, please upload them and any other resources to the respective upload folder on the OSMF Nextcloud instance. This is not required for pre-recorded lightning talks, but appreciated nonetheless. We also plan to publish these resources on our website.
We expect that you will be available during the conference to chat with SotM participants about your subject, also when doing a pre-recorded lightning talk, either physically or virtually in the conference platform. If you like to have extended discussions with attendees about your subject, you're welcome to schedule a self-organized session - if you do so, please consider indicating this in your talk description and maybe also announce it during your in person lightning talk or in the chat inside the conference platform while your prerecorded lighting talk is broadcasted.

Registration for Pre-Recorded Lighting Talks
Please add a line to the table below and prepare a 5-minute video with your talk. We recommend to read the how-to that we prepared for regular SotM talks. Once you recorded this video, you can upload it to our upload folder on the OSMF Nextcloud instance. Please name the file after the speaker name and talk title you added in the below table (format: <your name>_<title of your lightning talk>), this makes it easier for us to match them.
If we have questions concerning your lightning talk, we will use your OSM username to contact you, so please add it to the table.

Our Top 10 Data Quality Aspects | HOT works with a number of organizations and communities that generate data through different contribution mechanisms, including desktop digitization, data collection surveys and local knowledge experiences. Each of these mechanisms lead to different aspects and issues that affect the quality of data contributed to OSM. We are prioritizing on minimizing the impacts of the top 10 aspects on the list through a number of ways, including mapper outreach programs, training, and developing technical tools. | Even as OSM is rapidly growing in content and contributors, its credibility has been one of the main concerns for authoritative users. The belief that it is made by volunteers can limit the trust in the value of this free data source within traditional GIS communities. | |
| Antidius Kawamala | KAWAMALA | Community Mapping Initiatives in Tanga | Promoting a data-driven decision making culture in Tanga under living lab initiative, we are complementing the global objective of OSM i.e. to create a free editable geographic database of the world by various mapping activities around the region. The initiative uses local member by building capacity on how to use OSM and contributing to it as well as University Students. These mappings have been putting the missing pieces of the community on the map and addressing challenges they face so far. The usage of GIS data as a tool for community as a decision-making data tool can help in timely action and on-time problem-solving. | ||

It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around. It provides pre-configured applications for a range of geospatial use cases, including storage, publishing, viewing, analysis and manipulation of data. It also contains sample datasets and documentation. OSGeoLive is an OSGeo project used in several workshops and cases at FOSS4Gs and around the world. | ||||
| Séverin Ménard | Severin.menard | Launching the UN Mappers Learning Hub | Through the Unite Maps Learning Hub, UN Mappers offers a free self-training platform accessible to anyone discovering the OpenStreetMap project and wishing to participate in the improvement of this free geographic database.
This platform based on Moodle includes a series of guides to learn the basics of OpenStreetMap, its main editors and how to map its main geographic objects, including those encountered by UN Mappers on the territories of UN Peacekeeping missions covered by the UN Maps initiative. They embed, texts, screenshots, GIFs and videos. As of now, 5 languages are available: EN, ES, FR, IT and PT, but more languages will be coming soon as well as advanced courses. In the Basics course, the guides are independent of each other and can be consulted in any order, but beginners are advised to follow the suggested order. Each guide is followed by a test with feedback, that allows participants to evaluate their knowledge. |
