Reflection• One week with a lot of energy, but it was
really short (sustainability?) • The main focus in Lubumbashi was data
collection on the field, so what about editing? • ‘Normal’ obstacles: internet connection
(expensive and not stable), technical issues, security issues, question of volunteering, etc.
• Field Papers and OsmAnd• …
Thanks a lot for your huge support !!!
