| -In May 2015, the first TransforMap **global** test mapping “15MMM” (2015 Mapping Month May) is bringing together selected communities from different parts of the world, who partner through TransforMap to meet two goals: |
| 5 | +15MMM (#15mmm) is an abbreviation for "Mapping Month May 2015", and consists of a month-long series of mapping events, aimed at testing the current state of development of tools, as well as improving the [community-sourced OpenStreetMap taxonomy](http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/TransforMap) of [TransforMap](http://discourse.transformap.co/t/transformap-a-short-introduction/289). |

| -- Contribute their views, experiences and needs to the collective mapping effort of TransforMap to map alternative economies and social innovation. |
8 |
| -- Test at a global level and provide feedback about the various TransforMap elements: [taxonomy](http://discourse.transformap.co/t/what-is-the-current-status-of-openstreetmap-proposal/338), development of the [tools](http://discourse.transformap.co/t/which-tools-are-available-for-mapping-month-march/265) we offer so far, communication processes, and more. |
| 7 | +With 15MMM, we are inviting local initiatives and networks to come together in different places, and contribute points of interest that are already known or even presenting in different maps. |

| 9 | +15MMM events will provide the first community-sourced open pool of data, helping to optimize the common taxonomy and build up interoperability between existing mapping sites. |

| -Check the [list of locations](http://discourse.transformap.co/t/list-of-test-mapping-locations/174) where test mappings happen. |
| 11 | +We also expect these events to provide an opportunity to bring together and involve various communities of practice and interest towards local mapping in different continents, therefore growing the network around TransforMap and promoting collective action across movements. |
