The Geospatial and Surveying Society Tasmania aka GEOSS Tas hosted a free night of mapping and pizza.
Extending on the GEOSS Humanitarian Mapathon event in 2025, the activity for this year was a weekly mapping session for the first month of the semester, where students participated in ongoing humanitarian mapping tasks.
There was a mix of new students, their first time using HOTOSM and open-source geospatial tools, and past graduates returning, not currently studying at the university. For most, the event offered an introduction to HOTOSM and demonstrated how their GIS skills can be applied in practical applications.
Funding from OSGeo Oceania meant that students did not have to arrange food, with the event occurring in the evening, and could stay around for the full session.
