This week we welcomed directors of Mapio Cymru to the community of practice session.
Mapio Cymru is a project that began in Cardiff with seed funding from the Welsh Government’s Cymraeg 2050 campaign, as part of their target to have a million Welsh speakers by 2050.
Mapio Cymru aims to improve the availability of maps in the Welsh language and increase their use. It maintains a Welsh language map of Wales at openstreetmap.cymru.
With 32 people at the session, questions were about keeping mapping data up to date, translating landmarks and street names.

It’s been a busy week! The Deputy Minister for Climate Change, Lee Waters, agreed to film a foreword for CDPS’s annual review, looking back at our achievements over the financial year 2021-22.
Thankfully the sun shone in Cardiff Bay on Wednesday! Gemma took the deputy minister’s favourite sweet, custard slices, to thank him for taking the time out of his schedule. They went down a treat!

This was a first for CDPS. We publish weeknotes for the whole of CDPS, which we email to a bunch of varied stakeholders. They have previously only been in English but, to practise what we preach and meet Welsh language standards, we also published the weeknotes in Welsh this week for the first time.
If you would like to receive our lively weeknotes, which are very on-the-pulse about Agile and user-centred design, get in touch.
