Hi all, I want to bring your attention to a project being planned by a group of mappers in Fiji, many of whom were involved in organising FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2020: "Building a Resilient OpenStreetMap Community in Fiji <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/HOT_Microgrants/Community_Impact_Microgrants_2021/Proposal/Building_a_Resilient_OpenStreetMap_Community_in_Fiji>" [1].
It's a plan to run a series of workshops, mapathons, and field mapping activities over 2021, with the broad objective of growing a networked OpenStreetMap community in Fiji, promoting the use of open data like OSM to the Fiji mapping community and local/regional organisations, and contributing to disaster preparedness by helping fill in gaps in OSM. The organising team is going for a HOT Microgrant to cover the costs of running the project, and endorsements from the regional community would be very helpful! If you want to lend a voice of support, please check out the project and add your endorsement to the wiki... Thank you!
