This is a Meetup dedicated to improving and mapping Connecticut using OpenStreetMap. We educate new users in how to edit and hope to provide a social environment and meetups such as MappyHours. Feel free to show up and join, all are welcomed as long as you are friendly and want to learn / contribute to OpenStreetMap.
