The OpenStreetMap (Austria) stand at Maker Faire Vienna 2023
We had a great stand on the upper floor, and its positioning on a corner allowed us to set up a monitor on each side of the table at the same time, where we could introduce interested visitors to the world of OpenStreetMap - and there were quite a few of them over the two days! Three of us, geologist, ScubbX and Skunk, manned the OSM info table and hardly had a moment to ourselves.
edit: the Maker Faire has been canceled due to the uncertain planning situation for 2020! edit: the Maker Faire has been postponed to October 3-4, 2020!
The Austrian OpenStreetMap Association is promoting the OpenStreetMap project at the Maker Faire Vienna for the second time this year! This will take place on May 16 and 17, 2020 (FR & SA).
We are already looking forward to this exciting fair in the great location of MetaStadt.
OSM stand on day 2 – before the crowds of visitors
On day 2 of the Maker Faire Vienna 2019, the stream of visitors did not abate. Numerous visitors came again who wanted to find out more about OpenstreetMap.
Many of them came into contact with the map for the first time, while others already use it regularly in their private or professional lives. Another group of people actively contributes to the map, were happy to see us and thanked us for the map and the opportunities it has given them. Since we don’t maintain the map, we are happy to pass on our thanks to the OSM community! One of the key messages of our information was that OSM is a community project and only works through the work of each individual.
As announced in the previous blog post, the OSM.AT association will be represented at the Maker Faire Vienna 2019 with a stand.
The stand was already set up on the Friday before the Maker Faire.
Final touches to the stand
We were given a smaller stand than we are used to at other trade fairs, but with a few adjustments we were able to set up most of the trade fair material. We worked late into the night to get everything ready for the next day.
OpenStreetMap will be represented at this year’s Maker Faire in Vienna from 04.05.2019 - 05.05.2019!
Some hard-working members of the association have come together to man an exhibition stand and give an overview of OpenStreetMap.
The exhibitor entry can be found here.
