This is our first Maptime Berlin meetup! Come and meet other map enthusiasts in Berlin and share ideas about how we can learn mapmaking together.

New to web maps? At the first Maptime Berlin, we’ll talk about the basic components and technology of web maps, and how to get started making your own maps. Already a web map guru? Come lend your expertise! Beginners are especially encouraged. Please do not forget to bring your laptop!

What is Maptime?

Maptime is, rather literally, time for mapmaking. Our mission is to open the doors of cartographic possibility to anyone interested by creating a time and space for collaborative learning, exploration, and map creation using mapping tools and technologies.

This open learning environment for all levels and degrees of knowledge offers intentional support for the beginner. Maptime is simultaneously flexible and structured, creating space for workshops, ongoing projects with a shared goal, and independent/collaborative work time.

Inspiration for Maptime comes from both hack nights and knitting circles. Both are models of spaces for people to create and learn together. Our goal is to provide this space with an open heart and without pretension. You can bring your own projects to work on, or just hang out and socialize or ask questions. Some people are experts, and some people are just getting started, but all of us are learning, so why not do it together?

Beginners are very welcome.
Please bring a laptop.
