This saturday we invite you to join us at #OpenLabsAlbania to finish the maproulette challenge. This is another meetup organised by OpenStreetMap Albania in order to contribute to @openstreetmap and teach new contributors their first steps. Might also have homemade cake 😃.

Activity here: https://osmcal.org/event/2131/

Yesterday we had a recap meeting of @fsfe Public Money Public Code Albania and a lot of new people joined to learn about PMPC. This was a successful campaign with 1 party including PMPC into their electoral program and we now have a voice in the Tirana municipality.
Next steps will be to translate leaflets and videos in Albanian. Everything is documented in Albanian at wiki.openlabs.cc/Public_Money_Public_Code_2023 .

The Movement Together won 1 council seat on the local election and this is great news for us because they are the only one who included @fsfe Public Money Public Code in their political program.
We at #OpenLabsAlbania will continue providing them and all parties with PMPC translated materials and counseling.
