Hello / Kumusta, humanitarian mapping community :)

I am very pleased to announce that we have created a Loomio page or a
forum-type platform for the Community Working Group! Please check, join and
explore it here: *https://loomio.hotosm.org/community-working-group/*
<https://loomio.hotosm.org/community-working-group/>

The *Community WG Forum/Loomio* page aims to:

   - help us *better facilitate asynchronous (or no-meeting-required)
   communication and coordination*
   - provide *easy navigation* on topics using tags (unlike chat, you don't
   have to backread, tags will save time to search for posts/conversations!)
   - have *more open and inclusive communication* (esp for those who are
   not a fan of Slack/instant messaging :)
   - and many more!

When you visit the Forum/Loomio page, you will be able to:

   - View the threads/polls without an account, or
   - Easily create an account (just click the *Join Group *button!) to be
   able to post a thread or poll, and comment and react on
posts/polls, then introduce
   yourself here
   <https://loomio.hotosm.org/d/VLdmHb9A/-welcome-introduce-yourself-here>!
   - Check out the existing threads and feel free to add your own!
   - #ShamelessPlug: Need help promoting your event / article / activity /
      mapathons? Post it here!
      <https://loomio.hotosm.org/d/aWfz4ZOQ/need-help-promoting-you-event-article-activity-mapathons-post-it-here->

         <https://loomio.hotosm.org/d/BqMJN0V1/-translation-into-english-of-feminismo-tica-y-datos-geospaciales>
         - State of the Map 2021 Ethics Panel Planning

         - Help us gather information and resources related to diversity
         and OpenStreetMap! (to update the OSM wiki)

      - Open Calls for Conference Participation
      <https://loomio.hotosm.org/d/H6MQwBe4/open-calls-for-conference-participation>
      - Grants / Scholarship Programs
      <https://loomio.hotosm.org/d/fJ6oAMKV/grants-scholarship-programs>

This is an experiment to provide open space for everyone who cannot
participate "real-time" to the Community WG meetings <http://bit.ly/HOTWG>
or Community WG chat groups (Slack <http://slack.hotosm.org/>, Telegram
<https://t.me/openmapping_community_wg>). Let us know if this works for
you!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!


Thank you!
