You already might know we’re really involved creating the free wiki world map. As individuals, we’re mapping several areas of the Basque Country (users Gari Araolaza, mikeltxo, kere, dreguera, aitzol).

Tagzania Services has also supported OpenStreetMap by sponsoring the State of the Map conference; we’re also talking with our public administrations to liberate their (their?) geo-data. But we can’t be waiting forever, that’s why we’ve started organizing mapping parties. Don’t hate the media, become the media.

These mapping parties goal is making OSM more popular in our area, and, of course, getting some new devote mappers to the project.

This is our mapping party agenda (you can find them also in the OSM wiki current events)

We’ve also organized a special mapping party in Ordizia with some high school students by the end of September.

We hope this is just the begining. That’s why we encourage people in our area to contact us for organizing more mapping parties.
