The form clearly states 'We prefer you upload your videos to YouTube, but
will accept submissions on other platforms (such as Google Drive) should
YouTube not be available in your region.', we're happy to receive videos in
other formats if some groups would like to do that, they can get in touch
with us to confirm the approach they'd like to take. Similarly, if people
want to record a video in another language we can do our best to find a
translator who would be able to add subtitles on the video in English.

We decided last week to extend the application period to allow more time
for groups to prepare their videos. This is reflected on the online form,
blog, and HOT Twitter.

Thanks,

Rebecca

engaging with local open data/tech communities. We're looking to provide up
nine Microgrants between $2,000 - $5,000 USD.

Re: [OSM-talk] New tool/API to find local OSM mailing lists by location

[Rebecca Firth]

Hi,

I can see this being really useful, thanks Edward!

Echoing what Joost said, it would be great to be able to see more
information on the community, and also possibly to see more than one result
e.g. if I search a city, it could be useful to see the mailing list for
that location plus the country / regional one?

On the Missing Maps website we tried to do something similar to make it
easier for people who want to run mapathons to connect with other local
volunteers who might be keen to support them and grow the local community
further - http://www.missingmaps.org/host/#helper-map-contents (you can
sign up at the link if you're keen to join).

Thanks,

Rebecca

[OSM-talk] Apply for a Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Microgrant

[Rebecca Firth]

Hi All,


This week, we’re excited to launch the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team
(HOT) Microgrants programme
<https://hotosm.org/updates/2017-02-02_hot_microgrants_programme_launches_0>
!

Many OSM communities around the world are achieving amazing results on zero
or near-zero budgets. HOT wants to support the development of these
communities, through providing funding for basics. For example, GPS
devices, internet access, and training costs. We're looking to provide up
to ten Microgrants between $2,000 - $5,000 USD. Our goal is to enable the
development of local OSM communities, to increase skills, capacity and
experience. We will award grants to projects which broadly contribute to
HOT's mission.

More details on the programme and the application form can be found here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1s9ltOxx_0jkJdQW1uqv9oXoF8cV9ryK8TH87Vv4de4M/edit>.
HOT support will be provided before, during and after the grants period.
Applications must be received by 12th March 2017.

Please share this to individuals or organisations who might be interested
to apply. We are looking to support communities in Southeast Asia, South
Asia, Latin America/Caribbean and Africa, but will consider other locations.

Get in touch with any questions, or email microgra...@hotosm.org.

Thanks,

Rebecca
