Let's Map This Out! Working with GIS and OpenStreetmap Data

In this Fork Pull Merge Push episode, we discuss geographic information system (GIS) - not a well-known domain to many. Henna Kalliokoski, a GIS professional and functional programming enthusiast will share her knowledge on GIS data, coordinate systems and e.g. accessibility. GIS data can be used in many different ways and she will shed light on e.g. how open source communities contribute to GIS data and service development.
