[Talk-pe] OSM GeoWeek en noviembre

[Johnattan Rupire]

Hola!

el año pasado participamos de esta GeoWeek organizando una actividad en 
el Callao [1] y creo que los compas de Mapbox en Ayacucho hicieron lo 
mismo allá. Para este año estamos pensando en lanzar también una 
actividad, y uno de los temas que hemos venido trabajando los últimos 
meses ha sido el de Accesibilidad, por lo que me gustaría proponer esta 
cuestión para esta edición.


En el grupo de telegram también vimos que habia posibilidad de organizar 
algún evento en Arequipa, con lo que si desde Ayacucho también repiten 
tendríamos 3 sedes descentralizadas de actividades. Quizá podríamos ver 
un objetivo común también, más allá de lo que se haga cada cual en su 
territorio. ¿alguien más se anima a participar?


Saludos!

Dear Mappers,


Happy Tuesday and I hope this email finds you well. My name is Rachel 
and I work with the International GIS Team at the American Red Cross. We 
wanted to reach out and say a big thank you for your participation in 
last year’s OSM Geography Awareness Week (GeoWeek) events! Last year, in 
partnership with MapGive <http://mapgive.state.gov>, YouthMappers 
<http://www.youthmappers.org>, Peace Corps, and many more, there were 94 
eventsin 32 countriesheld and we can't wait to  see what the community 
can accomplish this year!


OSM GeoWeek calls on teachers, students, community groups, governments, 
private sector organizations, and map-lovers around the world to come 
together to celebrate geography and make maps with OpenStreetMap, the 
free and openly editable map of the world. The purpose of this event is 
to actively contribute to OpenStreetMap. This year, OSM GeoWeek will be 
held during the week of November 14th. OSM GeoWeek presents a great 
opportunity for students and colleagues alike to participate in 
something both meaningful and fun just before final exams. As you know, 
participants don’t need any special expertise, just basic computer 
skills. Please see http://osmgeoweek.org/for more information on this 
year’s events. We would love to see your school represented again during 
OSM GeoWeek!


One of the projects that my team supports is the Missing Maps project - 
a joint effort founded by the American Red Cross, British Red Cross, the 
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and Doctors Without Borders (MSF-UK). 
The objective of Missing Maps is simple: to map the most vulnerable 
places in the developing world so that local and international NGOs, 
communities, and individuals can use the maps and the data to better 
prepare for and respond to crises affecting the areas. The project seeks 
to literally and figuratively put people, and their communities, on the 
map. Missing Maps takes an open, collaborative, and community-based 
approach and is powered by the enthusiasm and hard work of 
digital/remote volunteers both in the US and abroad. Please see 
http://www.missingmaps.org/for more information. Since the project 
started in 2014, over 13,500 volunteers have participated, collectively 
putting 20.5 million people on the map in OSM. We would love your help 
in helping this number to grow! To learn more about hosting a mapathon 
please see http://www.missingmaps.org/host/.


We hope you can join us again this year! Please share this invitation 
with your colleagues

and networks, and especially students. If your organization would like 
to participate again this year, our team and the OSM and Missing Maps 
network can provide you with the information and materials needed to 
host a successful mapathon. If located in the US, we can even send you a 
box of swag! Please let me know if you have any additional questions and 
I look forward to hearing back from you!


All the best and happy mapping,

Rachel Levine

(on behalf of the OSM Institutions Group and the Missing Maps Partnership)
