[Diversity-talk] A Call to Correct Narratives about Geospatial Work

[arnalie faye vicario]

Hello all,

Last September 1, Amazon Web Services (AWS) released an episode of their
documentary series *Now Go Build* which highlighted the work done by the
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team in the Philippines, especially in mapping
the town of Guagua, Pampanga.

Several members of the OSM-PH community however have observed that there
are missing and problematic narratives in the video related to the story it
tells of geospatial and humanitarian workers in the country.

Therefore, some of us have prepared and release the following statement:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/a/aa/A_Call_to_Correct_Narratives_about_Geospatial_Work.pdf

As of writing, the video is now unavailable. Someone made
an archive of the video here:

The response from HOTOSM management was forwarded in the OSM PH mailing
list. We appreciate the response and actions moving forward:

warm regards,
