Workshop: Take control of your Maps! Create, host and share your own maps with OpenStreetMap and MapLibre

​Maps are an essential part of digital infrastructure. For a long time, if you needed a map in your article, on your website or as part of a software product, you were reliant on solutions offered by big tech such as Google Maps.
