Hello all, I'm forwarding some big news from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) that may hugely affect the OSM community in the Philippines over the next few years.
Yesterday, HOT announced that they are one of the eight recipients of a multi-year funding from TED's The Audacious Project. Please see the following links for more information: - The Audacious Project website: https://audaciousproject.org/ - Wikipedia article about the The Audacious Project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Audacious_Project - The Audacious Project's page for HOT: https://audaciousproject.org/ideas/2020/humanitarian-openstreetmap-team - HOT's announcement: https://www.hotosm.org/updates/audacious-announcement/ - HOT's FAQ page for the project: https://www.hotosm.org/audacious-faq One of the things HOT will be doing is setting up four regional hubs worldwide and Manila was selected as the HQ/hub for the Asia Pacific region. They will also hire around 13 or so people to support the Asia Pacific hub. ~Eugene ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tyler Radford <tyler.radf...@hotosm.org> Date: Thu, Jun 18, 2020 at 9:51 PM Subject: [OSM-talk] HOT Update To: OpenStreetMap talk mailing list <t...@openstreetmap.org> Hi, We wanted to share some news about HOT's work over the next five years, which has been launched today - https://www.hotosm.org/updates/audacious-announcement/ *Tyler Radford* Executive Director tyler.radf...@hotosm.org @TylerSRadford *Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team* *Using OpenStreetMap for Humanitarian Response & Economic Development* web <http://hotosm.org/> | twitter <https://twitter.com/hotosm> | facebook <https://www.facebook.com/hotosm> | donate <https://hotosm.org/donate>
