The challenge supports the objectives of the OSGeo UN Committee [6], i.e. promoting the development and use of open source software that meets UN needs and supports the aims of the UN.</div><div><br></div><div>For various reasons, we were not able to arrange the challenge in 2020, but we are planning to have the next one in 2021. We were wondering whether you would like to be involved as a mentor in one of the challenges, e.g. a challenge related to developing training material for pgrouting. During the pandemic, mobility became very topical (again) and a tutorial related to this topic could be very useful. <br></div><div><br></div><div>What do you think?<br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/osgeo-un-committee-educational-challenge/" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/osgeo-un-committee-educational-challenge/</a></div><div>[2] <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/2019-osgeo-un-committee-educational-challenge/" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/foundation-news/2019-osgeo-un-committee-educational-challenge/</a></div><div>[3] <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Training_Material_for_UN_Open_GIS_OpenData" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Training_Material_for_UN_Open_GIS_OpenData</a></div><div>[4] <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Training_Material_for_UN_Open_GIS_Spiral_3" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Training_Material_for_UN_Open_GIS_Spiral_3</a></div><div>[5] <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Training_Material_for_2019_UN_Open_GIS_Challenge_2_-_Open_geospatial_data_and_software_for_UN_SDG_16,_Peace_justice_and_open_institutions" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Training_Material_for_2019_UN_Open_GIS_Challenge_2_-_Open_geospatial_data_and_software_for_UN_SDG_16,_Peace_justice_and_open_institutions</a> <br></div><div>[6] <a href="https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/un-initiative/" target="_blank">https://www.osgeo.org/initiatives/un-initiative/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Serena<br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><br>Serena Coetzee (GPr GISc 1245)</div><div>University of Pretoria<br>Professor and Head of Department Geography, Geoinformatics and Meteorology<br>Geography Building 1-3.7, Hatfield Campus, Lynnwood Road, Hatfield, 0083, South Africa<br>email: <a href="mailto:serena.coetzee@up.ac.za" target="_blank">serena.coetzee@up.ac.za</a> · Web: <a href="http://www.up.ac.za/ggm" target="_blank">www.up.ac.za/ggm</a> · Mobile: +27 82 464 4294 · Tel: +27 12 420 3823</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.gcro.ac.za/outputs/provocations/" target="_blank">Strengthening governance in the Gauteng City-Region through a spatial data infrastructure - the case of address data</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
