   TONIGHT!

  This quarter’s Dallas area Mappy Hour will have a slightly different vibe. Join URISA Texas members and representatives from companies and organizations across the metroplex to participate in a career mixer. This will offer the unique opportunity for hiring managers and potential candidates to meet and mingle in a very casual, low stress environment.

  
  

  No resumes required!

  
  

  This event is open to our entire community, and not just hiring managers and those looking for new career opportunities. All GIS professionals can come out and share their guidance and experience, especially for our younger members who may be looking for their very first full time opportunity.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Meet fellow GIS geeks, make job contacts, and get involved!

  Membership is not required to attend!

  Join us for the monthly CenTex Mapathon to contribute to an OpenStreetMap project or recruit someone for your own. This event occurs every last Sunday of the month.
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Topic:
  
  OpenStreetMap or recruit people for your own project.
  
  OpenStreetMap is an opensource community using aerial imagery. Our topic for the month will be based on need. We will evaluate what is needed in the community prior to the event.
  
  OpenStreetMap is built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world.
  
  Local Knowledge - OpenStreetMap emphasizes local knowledge. Contributors use aerial imagery, GPS devices, and low-tech field maps to verify that OSM is accurate and up to date.
  
  Community Driven - OpenStreetMap's community is diverse, passionate, and growing every day. Our contributors include enthusiast mappers, GIS professionals, engineers running the OSM servers, humanitarians mapping disaster-affected areas, and many more.
  
  Open Data - OpenStreetMap is open data: you are free to use it for any purpose as long as you credit OpenStreetMap and its contributors. If you alter or build upon the data in certain ways, you may distribute the result only under the same license.
  
  

  What to do before the event:

  • Register for the event on URISA TX's website
  • Create an OpenStreetMap account
  • Watch these how-to videos
    
  • Read about volunteering with HOT
    
  • Register for slack #disaster channel: https://slack.hotosm.org (takes about a day to process)
  • Sign in to the HOT Tasking Manager with your OpenStreetMap account
    
  • After getting you connected to the OpenStreetMap community, if you don't already have an account, we will work on examples together. Volunteers will be available for assistance.

  On the day of the event, please bring your own laptop, and introductions will be made from the respective representative for each project.
