Hi there, We are a group of Latino mappers working with OSM since 2010. We have advocated for the collaboration between civil society and governments uisng OSM specially with National Stats Offices, having undertaken many initiatives like this https://undataforum.org/WorldDataForum/harnessing-census-data-collection-with-citizen-participation-in-the-sdgs/ .
Related to this agenda, we will be organizing close to INEGI (Natnl Stats from México) next November a Mapathon <http://osmgeoweek.org/events/>*http://osmgeoweek.org/event/aguascalientes/ <http://osmgeoweek.org/event/aguascalientes/>* to out reach to local mappers in the region. Officers from other National Statistics Offices from Latin America are also invited to the event. We will be focusing on the OSM Canada Task Manager and trying to map remote regions. Maybe we can partner to co organize our mapathons together, sharing experiences and presentations from Canada and Mexico on line. What do you think about this?
