This week the spotlight is on the new Executive Director of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT), Rebecca Firth. Chatting with Steven, Rebecca recalls how she got involved with HOT, what the volunteer run organisation has achieved, and what you can expect as she moves forward with her new role. The main goal is to map under mapped places in an area home to a billion people across 94 countries. HOT aims to address community needs through mapping, make mapping accessible for everyone, and make data usable for as many people as possible. Tune in to find out what’s in store for HOT with Rebecca at the helm, the role of AI in mapping, and how you can get involved.
