a FrOSCon Map

" summary

A community-edited event map built with uMap over OpenStreetMap combines three views—venue plan, indoor rooms, and surrounding area—so attendees add hotels, tram stops, shops and pricing. Editing is done with standard OSM editors and mobile apps (house-number mappers), using NRW ALKIS or Bing imagery to import buildings quickly and IRC/email for coordination; a live demo showed smartphone edits applying but without live multi-editor synchronization, and exports/printing workflows are still unresolved.
