The JOSM (Java OpenStreetMap) Editor is one of the most common ways to contribute to OpenStreetMap.

It can be especially helpful when doing complex or repetitive mapping tasks that can be hard to do in the in-browser iD Editor.

Although it is very powerful software with heaps of useful tools, it can be quite daunting and complicated, which is where we come in!

David from Maptime Melbourne has very kindly agreed to run through JOSM. He will be showing us how to use JOSM and some tips & tricks for you to get the most out of it.

We will be commencing a Jitsi online video call (link available upon registration). This will consist of a short introduction and overview of the task.

**BEFORE THE MEETING**
Please download and install JOSM from its website on the platform most appropriate for you: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/

If you would like to get started early, you can also check out some of the help documentation here: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Introduction
