Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2011
In 2011, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team” by an uncredited artist (Digital Communities) with a Honorary Mention.
_Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team_ (HOT) was initially an informal group within _OpenStreetMap_. After the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, this group worked as part of the greater technologist and volunteer effort to help assist remotely to provide maps to the organizations responding on the ground in Haiti.
