[OSM-talk] Support OSM communities in Bolivia, Iraq, Peru, Philippines, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan
HI all- Six OpenStreetMap communities (in Bolivia, Iraq, Peru, Philippines, Sierra Leone, and South Sudan) are raising funds this year for some pretty amazing OpenStreetMap projects - from getting a community started for the first time in South Sudan to mapping for mental health awareness in the Philippines. HOT is helping promote their campaigns. So - on behalf of all six communities, could you help support with a donation by Dec. 31 and/or share on social media? (use #MapTheDifference) Check them out here: https://pages.donately.com/hotosm/campaigns/ You can choose which community project to support and 100% of funds raised for each project get transferred directly to that community in January. As the projects progress you'll get updates directly from the community. Let me know if you have questions and hoping we can all come together this holiday season to help out in whatever way is possible for you.

[Talk-us] HOT Summit and State of the Map
Hi all, Really looking forward to connecting and re-connecting at State of the Map US in Minneapolis and/or State of the Map in Heidelberg, Germany. In case you were not already aware, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team will hold our annual Summit in the two days immediately preceding State of the Map in Germany in the same venue. https://summit2019.hotosm.org/ All are welcome and hope you can come to Germany a few days early to participate.

[OSM-talk] Contribute to small grants for OSM communities worldwide
Hi all, This is a short note of thanks to everyone in the OSM community who has supported Microgrants for our OSM colleagues in developing countries the last two years. HOT is running a campaign to raise funds for another round of Microgrants in early 2019. 100% of funds raised during the campaign period through 31 December will go back out in the form of grants to help OSM communities with the basics for mapping projects - equipment, internet access, training, workspace, etc. Projects are conceptualized, designed, and led entirely by the community receiving the grant. On behalf of the communities that this will support, I'd be so thankful for any contribution you're able to make: http://donate.hotosm.org Best wishes for a happy holiday season. Tyler p.s.

[Talk-us] Support OSM communities and disaster response this holiday season (by 31 Dec)
Dear all, In 2016 hundreds of you (many, many from the OpenStreetMap US community!) supported the dream of starting a small grants program to grow and sustain the activities of emerging OSM communities. Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) was proud to administer this "Microgrants" program, distributing more than $38,000 to 9 small-scale, big-impact projects conceptualized by OSM community leaders. This year, we want to scale the collective ability of the OpenStreetMap community to respond to disaster and crisis. A big component of this is continuing to strengthen OSM communities in vulnerable countries via a 2018 round of Microgrants. Would you consider making a year-end contribution by December 31? https://donate.hotosm.org More about results to date: https://www.hotosm.org/projects/microgrants_and_community_development Best wishes for a happy and peaceful end of the year.

[OSM-talk] Wishing the global OSM family a happy start to 2016
Dear friends and colleagues in the global OSM community, As we end 2015 and start 2016 (for many of us, it's already here!), I send my warm wishes for a happy and peaceful new beginning to you and your families. So many of you have put so much time and effort into moving OSM forward over the past year -- through your mapping, through improved data and tools, through better infrastructure, through training & events, through new companies and projects, and in many other ways. For this, I am thankful and appreciative. Quite simply, HOT could not deliver effectively on its mission without all of the pieces and people that make up the OSM ecosystem. As we move into 2016, I look forward to continuing this work and contributing to advancing OSM and the very real, very positive, and often life-changing benefits that it has had for many around the world.

Call for papers for a special issue of the International Journal of Cartography on: The role of spatial data infrastructures, standards, open data and open source software in mapping Ever-increasing volumes of geographic information pose challenges for making geographic information available and usable in maps. In celebration of the International Cartographic Association’s International Map Year 2015/16, we invite original research contributions on the role of spatial data infrastructures (SDI), standards, open data and open source software in mapping for a special issue of the International Journal of Cartography. The discovery, access, exchange and sharing of geographic information and services among stakeholders from different levels in the spatial data community is facilitated through a SDI. Standards are key for the quality and development of interoperable geographic information and geospatial software. The drive for access to geographic information has led to its publication as open data, i.e. freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control. According to a report by the United Nations Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM), the use of open source software solutions is likely to increase significantly in the future as a viable alternative to proprietary suppliers. Open source software for geospatial, geographic information standards and open data policies are therefore significant for SDI development and implementation. This special issue follows on SDI-Open 2015, a pre-conferenece workshop of the 27th International Cartographic Conference, titled Spatial data infrastructures, standards, open source and open data for geospatial (SDI-Open 2015), which was jointly organized by the Commission on Geoinformation Infrastructures and Standards, the Commission on Open Source Geospatial Technologies and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) on 20 and 21 August at the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. While workshop presenters will be invited to submit expanded versions of the extended abstracts presented at SDI-Open 2015, the call is now open to all researchers.
