Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Code for Resilience - call for mentors
Anne, This is of my topmost interest, since I work for the World Food Programme and I am responsible for a component of Nicaragua´s Programme focused in building resilience of communities from CentralAmerican Dry Corridor. Thank you for the post, Best Regards, Carlos Rivas Suazo On Wed, Feb 26, 2014 at 3:20 PM, Anne Ghisla a.ghi...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all, let me forward the call for mentoring related to Code for Resilience (C4R), an initiative co-founded by the World Bank's Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and ICT Unit (TWICT), and Code for Japan. The initiative is partnering local technologists with disaster risk management (DRM) experts to strengthen community resilience to natural disasters through the creation of civic-minded digital and hardware solutions. http://codeforresilience.org/page/about http://codeforresilience.org/blog Read about Code for Resilience events held in Peshawar, Dhaka, and three cities in Japan in this World Bank feature story http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/feature/2014/02/03/hackathons-tech-savvy-innovators-asia-disaster-resilience or this write-up in DevEx https://www.devex.com/en/blogs/2529/blogs_entries/82840?source=MostPopularNews_5 Stay up to date on the next hackathon events by following @Code4Resilience on Twitter. OSGeo is invited to participate as well: developers and contributors can take part to local events, and/or participate to the third part of the initiative, namely the Online innovation challenge. C4R organisers look for mentors from various domains (web, app development..) - people who can guide development and provide expertise. This is an exciting opportunity to interface directly with some of the developers who are hard at work building tools that address the challenges we have identified as key to improving community resilience to natural disasters. Mentors will be required to provide skill-specific and/or sector expertise to teams seeking counsel on how best to build their tool/app to meet a specific disaster resilience need. The mentoring time frame is from early March to mid-May. The deadline for mentor registration is this Thursday - sorry for short notice. If you wish to become a mentor, please send a mail to me and Adele (in CC). Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello everybody ! I am also interested in the train the trainers program for latinamerican region I have organized two workshops for gis applied in tourism and other on risk and disaster management using qgis warm regards from Nicaragua Carlos Rivas S.

We definitely want to get your expertise and inputs for the Train the trainer GIS program for school teachers. As you know , thanks to some volunteers we are now translating gvSIG Batovi documentation from Spanish-English and will make it available in ELOGeo to benifit other GIS educators . Once the documents are available in English more people will benefit from your excellent work. OSGeo Live will be important part of our Training program. I will invite Angelos, Astrid and other interested members from the OSGeo Live community to join our next monthly ICA-OSGeo labs telemeeting (I had been busy catching up with many workloads after FOSS4G - so will send the meeting time etc in Oct beginning) where we will be discussing more ideas and plans to take this forward. Our new website of the ICA-OSGeo labs initiative Geo4All.org will be active in one month (colleagues from University of Southampton are working on it), and having the new website is important so we build up momentum for our education efforts.

Special thanks to our team members Abi, Addy, Antony, Barend, Barry, Claire, Franz-Josef, Jeremy, Jo, IanH, IanE, Mark, Matt, Rollo and Steven who not only made FOSS4G 2013 http://2013.foss4g.org/about-foss4g/committee/ a great success but also has given firm foundation for the Geo for All Education initiative . We also launched OSGeo Live 7.0 at FOSS4G 2013 in Nottingham. Thanks to the selfless efforts and dedication of hundreds of volunteers worldwide that help make this excellent resource possible for the benefit of the wider community . Details at http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html Having free and open GI software is key for making possible for students in developing and poor countries to be also able to get geospatial education (without the need for high cost proprietary GI software ) and OSGeo Liv e is cen tral to our education efforts. Our Education Team will now with full dedication and focus will carry on the Geo for All initiative to all across the world. Our key aim is to make it possible for students in developing and poor countries to be also able to get geospatial education. By 2015, we will have 50 Open Source Geospatial Labs established in universities in Africa alone and they will all be teaching GIS courses to hundreds of students. We also will be starting work on Train the Trainer GIS program for school teachers all over the world. We also launched our latest ICA-OSGeo research lab in Switzerland at ETH Zurich at FOSS4G 2013 . The Open Source Geospatial Laboratory at ETH Zurich is part is part of the Institute of Cartography and Geoinformation, chair of Cartography . Details at http://www.ikg.ethz.ch/karto/index_EN The preceding Institute of Cartography was founded in 1925 by Professor Eduard Imhof, one of the main founders of modern academic cartography. It is therefore the oldest university institute in cartography world-wide. In 2011, with the establishment of the new chair of Geoinformation Engineering, the scope of activities of the institute was expanded and its name was adapted. In cartography, the institute strives to maintain its leading position in topographic cartography (relief representation), thematic cartography, and atlas cartography (school atlases
