Asunto: [Geo4All] Upcoming Knowledge Commons online conference: A possible way to promote and expand open source geospatial software and education?

Dear GeoForAll colleagues,

I'm co-organizing an upcoming online conference on "Knowledge Commons"<https://2021knowledge.iasc-commons.org/> (June 7-9th, 2021) organized by the International Association for the Study of the Commons<https://iasc-commons.org/>. Open-source software, open data and open educational resources fall under this label.

One major component of the conference will be sets of coordinated pre-recorded presentations and then one or more live panel discussions with those presenters with a moderator.

This could be a nice opportunity for various GeoForAll labs to discuss their efforts in/around open source software or open educational materials to support open geospatial, open data, spatial crowdsourcing, etc. In other words, this could be a kind of GeoForAll mini-conference within this larger Knowledge Commons conference.

The conference is relatively cheap for non-IASC members ($50 USD).

If anyone is interested in this idea and creating collective action between GeoForAll labs around this idea, email me, and I'll try and help coordinate.

For more information visit: https://2021knowledge.iasc-commons.org/

Cheers
Charlie Schweik
