[talk-ph] Fwd: [OSM-talk] OSMGeoWeek
Why don't we have a #OSMGeoWeek event here in the Philippines as well? November 22, Saturday, seems like a good date. I guess we can decide to have an event during the November 7 Mappy Hour (please attend!). :-) -- Forwarded message -- From: Mikel Maron mikel.ma...@gmail.com Date: Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 8:59 AM Subject: [OSM-talk] OSMGeoWeek To: t...@openstreetmap.org Mappers Hungry for maps? Join teachers, students, community groups, and map lovers around the world as we come together to celebrate geography and OpenStreetMap. Geography Awareness Week is November 16-22, with GIS Day on November 19. Working with National Geographic Society, we're promoting OSM in Education, with events held at colleges universities, clubs and groups around the globe. On Friday, November 21st, National Geographic will be hosting the flagship OpenStreetMap mapping party, based on this year’s theme, “The Future of Food. We're working on food related mapping projects and mapping guides ... mapping farmers markets, agricultural areas in developed and developing countries, food pantries. More details on http://osmgeoweek.org/. And we'll be launching the first version of http://teachosm.org/ (still in development), guides for bringing OSM into the classroom. We're working for these events to make a big splash, and will be developing visualizations and tools to track all the activity. Would be excellent to have you involved! Organize an event in your part of the world (at a formal school, or out in the school of life) and we'll promote on the site, and support however we can. If you're interested to take part, then: 1) Send along info about your event http://osmgeoweek.org/events/ 2) Join TeachOSM list to hear more details https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/teachosm 3) Stay tuned for more details on the mapping projects -Mikel ___ talk mailing list t...@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
[talk-ph] State of the Map US 2015 at the UN in New York City from June 6 to June 8
Hi everybody, OSM US has just announced that 2015's State of the Map US conference will be held in New York City at the United Nations Headquarters from June 6 to June 8, 2015. Read the announcement here: http://openstreetmap.us/2014/11/sotmus-2015-in-nyc/ The United Nations has generously donated the use of their building for hosting this conference. As such, the bulk of the conference's expenses that is usually earmarked for the venue will now go towards shouldering costs for international mappers to attend via travel scholarships. The conference organizers are targeting an attendance of 1000 people and they want mappers from all over the world to be able to share their experiences with OSM in their localities to the other conference attendees. You can read more about the plan for SOTM US in this PDF file: http://cl.ly/2u2V402L2N39/download/SOTMProposal.pdf This is a really great opportunity for Filipino OSM mappers to attend. The last time that any Filipino has attended an overseas State of the Map conference (whether the international one or a regional version) was at SOTM 2011 in Denver, Colorado, which was attended by Maning. I personally would want to go to SOTM US 2015. I've been to three Wikimanias now but have never attended an overseas SOTM. :-) Regards, Eugene ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
