 Kuang-Cheng Cheng | Hello,
My name is Kuang-Cheng. You can call me Casey. I graduated from UW-Madison with a master's in GIS and Cartography in May. I would like to be a volunteer to work on some practical projects, and earn good experience from that. I just joined GISCorps last week, so I just joined GISCours last week, so I hope that I can quickly integrate into this group and learn from everyone. I like to do geocomputing and mapping which are usually good for visualizing geographic data without being constrained by software. I hope I can get an opportunity to work on projects and enhance my skills and make contribute to the community at the same time. | 15:35:27 |
 Emi Mariscal | Hey Casey! if you’re interested in playing around with visualizations using MapLibre, ping me, we’re developing a project for processing and visualizing OSM data | 18:22:32 |

| Alexander | Hello I'm Alex, and I found out about your group last night browsing about QGIS and other tools being used these days! I am hoping to refresh my GIS skills and support various mapping, project and strategic tasks. I work as a database software release manager from Sacramento, CA. I enjoy biking, studying history, natural sciences, food systems and languages - Talk soon! | 14:47:39 |

| donalhunt | Keep an eye out on https://www.missingmaps.org/events/ for in-person and virtual marathons - they are a great way to get engaged. And if you want to go all in, try running a local event in your community or company. 👍 | 15:48:48 |

| Eduard Rene | Hello all!
My name is Eduard and I am a Building Engineer. I worked as Construction Manager and Quantity Surveyor in Barcelona (Spain) and Nairobi (Kenya).
I did an small training to volunteer with Tanzania Development Trust and Crowd2map. Also I did a more extended training with UN Mappers with the Humanitarian OSM course.
I am looking to be more involved in projects than simply mapping, and being living in Kenya, even more if they are based in East Africa, where I mostly map.
Cheers! | 08:16:10 |
 Benedicta | Great to have you here! Eduard Rene :party_parrot:If you have any questions, feel free to ask away! 🙂
The Tasking Manager has beginner level projects that you can start contributing to! The Learn page has some resources you can refer to to start mapping. And if you have mapping-related questions, please ask in the #openmapping-humanitarian-mappersupport:matrix.org.
And in case you would be interested, we also have working groups! Check out https://www.hotosm.org/community/working-groups/ or google calendar for list of working groups and how to join them! 🙂:yay: | 09:11:13 |
