[Geo4All] GeoForAll workshop on basic GIS at IASC 2019

[Charlie Schweik]

Hi Sergio,

(I had to say this publicly to the GeoForAll list).

I deserve no thanks at all -- *you and your team are AWESOME*. Thanks for
doing this and making this important connection to the International
Association for the Study of the Commons <https://iasc-commons.org/>
(IASC).

GeoForAll colleagues across the globe:

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 *the second annual global World
Commons Week (October 6-12, 2019)*. Last year's website is at (
http://worldcommonsweek.org) if you want to see what happened in last
year's event.

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.
I would LOVE to promote GeoForAll and OSGeo in this global event. But I
need help. So....

..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:

Cheers,
