The International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples 
is 9 August. This day 
recognizes the achievements and contributions of the world's 370 million 
indigenous people who live in more than 90 countries.



I wish to join the world in honouring and acknowledging the resilience, 
dignity and strength of indigenous peoples around the world.GEO 
community are marking this day by announcing the launch of the GEO Week 
2019 Hackathon,an innovative hackathon to advance the use of Earth 
observation (EO) data by and for youth in indigenous communities. The 
hackathon is being managed by Diana Mastracci with support from the GEO 
community. The hackathon will address EO-based challenges and will be 
co-designed by indigenous youth throughout the world. The goal is to 
encourage the co-development of innovative EO-based applications that 
are locally relevant and enhance the communities way of learning. It 
will promote the use of open EO data among indigenous communities and 
ultimately to co-design locally relevant free and open source software. 
This will result in new means for aligning local/ traditional knowledge 
and science co-production across cultural and generational lines.[1],[2].

Join us for the GEO Week 2019 and the GEO Ministerial Summitin Canberra, 
Australia (4-9th Nov 2019). Canberra means ‘meeting place’ in Ngunnawal, 
the local indigenous language. Recognizing the history of the land and 
its traditional custodians, GEO Week will bring together diverse people 
and cultures to support and sustain our planet and communities.



Best wishes,


Suchith

Hello,

The following survey on global and local communities in OpenStreetMap 
was developed by board members. The survey is not quantitative and its 
aim is to stimulate  discussions in local communities and at the Local 
Chapters Congress at SotM.


https://osmf.limequery.org/428835

~ The survey will run for two weeks.
~ Only one question is mandatory: "How can we share your answers?".

There is more information on the scope of the survey and approach on the 
opening page.


warm greetings,

Dorothea
