In this workshop, you'll learn the basics of setting up your own mapcomplete theme. After a short introduction, explanation of some common pitfalls and a technical explanation, you're invited to open up your laptop (or tablet) and can try it out yourself while I'm around to answer some questions.

If you ever wondered how you can quickly create an OSM-editor geared towards a specific topic, this workshop is for you. First, a small introduction to what a good theme is will be given; together with some common requests and best practices. Afterwards, the technicalities of getting started are explained. The idea is to have a hands-on workshop, where one can give it a try immediately.

In this workshop, I will assist you on how to create your own MapComplete theme.

MapComplete is an easy to use web editor, suitable for desktop and mobile. It can be seen as the spiritual offspring of both StreetComplete and MapContrib. This workshop is a follow-up of my talk about MapComplete, and it aims to give an introduction in how you can create your own theme with MapComplete. In this format, you will be provided an introductory tutorial video and the necessary documentation which you should be able to follow along. I am standby in a video conference, so that questions can be asked live. This workshop serves three goals: - I want the community to learn how they can create and share there own thematic maps/editors - I want to have some more, qualitative themes into MapComplete (and have some more contributors) - I want to test and improve the documentation If you want to join, you: - will need to have made at least 500 changesets with your OpenStreetMap-account - will need a thorough understanding of how tagging works in OpenStreetMap - will need some knowledge on how to edit a .json-file - will need to have access to a computer - will need what MapComplete is, have tried it at least once. My other talk is a good introduction

MapComplete is a newly created, easy-to-use web editor. In this talk, the developer will talk about the editor, how it came to be, how it already performed and what could possible come - especially with your help.

MapComplete is a newly created web editor which aims to be really easy to use. It tries to be just as simple as StreetComplete while offering per-topic views and presets just as MapContrib. In this talk, I present the editor I've made. I will talk about the editor itself, how it grew in the past year and a half, some technical background and give some statistics on edits made with it and which themes proved to be interesting. I'll also touch upon the possibility to create your own theme (but I'll do an Q&A-session specifically for that). Furhtermore, a comparison with other editors in the OSM-ecosystem will be made and differences with StreetComplete and MapContrib will be highlighted, as those two editors were key in inspiring this editor - yet there are some important differences with MapComplete in it's goals resulting in a fundamentally different approach and different use cases. I'll also zoom in on how the user journey is and how a few small features become available when the time is right for them to appear. Finally, I will have a look to where MapComplete could be headed and which projects and technical innovations will be made in the future. If you already want to try the editor, give it a shot at mapcomplete.osm.be
