So happy to see all our friends & Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team colleagues again after so long at #sotm22! Great times in Florence - and amazing discussions around our roadmap to improving data quality in #OSM

#DataQuality is at the heart of mapping, although we saw different #OSM users define it in various ways. At a Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team #SotM2022 side event, we discussed ways to measure it, with a goal of coming up with a top 1️⃣0️⃣ tenets and drafting a blog on the topic.📃

Good crowd, vibes, and discussion on risks and opportunities in mapping projects in the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team Protection workshop at #GeONG today.
