[talk-ph] Fwd: [OSM-talk] HOT Update

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

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:

- 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.
