Hi Timur,
Yes, we have a room assigned as below. It would be extra-great if the UN Open GIS Meeting and UNVT Portable Workshop share the same room.
Information about the UNVT Portable Workshop is also available at https://talks.osgeo.org/foss4g-2023-workshop/talk/A3TNME/
-
title of the workshop Development of UNVT Portable, a map server with OpenStreetMap pre-installed using a Raspberry Pi on a local network in offline situations during disasters.
-
short abstract UNVT Portable is a package for RaspberryPi that allows users to access a map hosting server via a web browser within a local network, primarily for offline use during disasters. It is designed to aid disaster response by combining aerial drone imagery with OpenStreetMap and open data tile datasets.
-
description "UNVT Portable" is a map server that allows you to freely use web maps from devices such as smartphones even in an offline environment. It is mainly designed to work in an offline environment in the event of a major disaster, and various open data tiles are prepared in advance, such as drone aerial images taken after a disaster, OpenStreetMap, and satellite images released for free by JAXA（Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency）, etc. Combine sets to create the maps you need in times of disaster. We envision a use case for municipalities, etc. to understand the situation after a disaster and to respond to disasters. It is built using open source software such as Apache and MapLibre and Raspberry Pi, and is completely open source. Unlike tools such as Google Maps, which are difficult to use for secondary purposes, it is being developed as open source so that it can be released in a form that can be easily used by anyone, including local governments, international organisations and private companies.

level of the workshop Intermediate
-
Requirements for attendants (if there is any) Bring your own laptop computer.

names and emails for the presenters Shogo Hirasawa, Taichi Furuhashi, Hidenori Fujimura, Taro Matsuzawa, Yui Matsumura
Best regards, Hidenori
Our colleague from UNGIS Timur has kinly asked me:
@mapconcierge @ShogoHirasawa could you advise me how we should reply? I understand that the UNVT workshop venue was already secured, but it would be better if we could ask Timur to organize so that we get more convenient place for UN Open GIS participant.
