We’d be interested to put up a stall about OSM + Wikimedia Commons Android app.

• Name: Kaartic and Haressh
• Email: kaarticsivaraam91196@gmail.com
• Phone (optional):
• Stall Topic / Title: You Can Become a Cartographer — Map What’s Around You
• GitHub / GitLab / Any VC Repo (if any):
• Short Description (2-4 lines about your stall/project/tool): Chennai’s maps are incomplete — missing lakes, walking tracks, wheelchair ramps, and accessible toilets. People navigate blind. You can fix that. Add Tamil street names, map your neighbourhood, contribute accessibility data. While you’re at it, photograph landmarks and upload them to Wikimedia Commons — your images become the face of these places for the world. Your data is yours — not Google’s, not any corporation’s. OSM and Wikimedia live on no single server, owned by no one, switched off by no one. That’s data sovereignty.
• Do you have access to a Linux machine for the demo session?: Yes
