About

The Local Chapters and Communities Congress 2024 (LCCC 2024) is a virtual event where leaders and members of various OSM communities, whether they are officially recognized Local Chapters of the OSM Foundation or just a regular user group of OSM mappers, come together to share stories and learn from each other. Let’s get together and see what kinds of organizational efforts we can share together to support and grow our mapping communities!
