DESCRIPTION:Map Kibera arose from a desire to expand OSM beyond the confine
 s of Europe and North America. In 2009\, it pushed the boundaries of what 
 then-new technologies could do. What have the mappers learned over the yea
 rs? This talk will welcome you to Nairobi and through the ups and downs of
  mapping in Kenya - from the history of mapping in 20th Kenya\, through Ma
 p Kibera’s start\, into slums and rural parts of Kenya\, and finally to 
 current-day Kibera\, where mappers are mapping street lights\, waste dispo
 sal\, schools\, and more. How has Map Kibera and OSM had a community impac
 t even as drones\, satellite technology and AI are revolutionizing mapping
 ? What has changed\, and what has remained the same?  We will discuss the 
 global impact of Map Kibera\, on community-based mapping in OSM and on the
  general application of technology in developing countries. \nThis talk wi
 ll include a discussion of mapping in Kenya dating back to the colonial er
 a\, the establishment of Kibera as a region of Nairobi\, and its growth in
 to a massive informal settlement. Kibera has been viewed as a place to dev
 elop by the Kenya government\, International aid agencies\, charities\, an
 d missionaries. It was a flashpoint of the post-election violence of 2007/
 8.\nMap Kibera’s Kenyan leaders will discuss the most recent mapping and
  local impacts made by the use of OSM. Mapping of street lights in Kibera 
 led to new and more street lights installed in Kibera. Mapping of waste ma
 nagement in Mukuru led to the placement of dumping waste bins. Data on sch
 ools has led to a pilot project to install solar panels on selected school
 s. None of these impacts have been easy\, but we will share lessons learne
 d about OSM\, open data and communities. Finally\, we conclude with a disc
 ussion of emerging and ever-changing technology\, and the fate of the tech
 no-optimism of the early 21st century.
