<div dir="ltr">Hi Sergio,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>(I had to say this publicly to the GeoForAll list). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I deserve no thanks at all -- <b>you and your team are <u>AWESOME</u></b>. Thanks for doing this and making this important connection to the<a href="https://iasc-commons.org/" id="LPlnk121198" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true"> International Association
for the Study of the Commons</a> (IASC). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>GeoForAll colleagues across the globe: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Open source software (and open educational resources) are forms of Internet-based "commons" -- and that's what the IASC organization is trying to promote. A link between GeoForAll and OSGeo and the IASC community is a natural one. I'm currently organizing
<b>the second annual global World Commons Week (October 6-12, 2019)</b>. Last year's website is at (<a href="http://worldcommonsweek.org" id="LPlnk142225" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true">http://worldcommonsweek.org</a>) if you want to see what happened
in last year's event. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>An important element of World Commons Week 2019 are establishing coordinated local events all over the world on commons related issues and practice. It would be really great if we could organize collective action in the GeoForAll community to run local
events around OSGeospatial technologies and education during that week.</div>
<div>I would LOVE to promote GeoForAll and OSGeo in this global event. But I need help. So.... </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>..if you'd like to propose your own GeoForAll/OSGeo related local event (e.g., a workshop on a FOSS4G topic, or a lecture, or a community mapping project, etc., etc.) for the week of October 6-12, 2019 at your own location please complete this online survey: <b><a href="https://forms.gle/tWnzrXjZmdJn7A687" id="LPlnk189043" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true">https://forms.gle/tWnzrXjZmdJn7A687</a></b></div>

<div>I would like to thank the organizers for allowing the opportunity to share this instance of training. Also thank Marino Carhuapoma who will officiate as a support instructor in the place. And especially my thanks to Charlie Schweik (University of Massachusetts
