<div dir="ltr">Hi Suchith, GoeForAll colleagues,<div><br></div><div>I think we might have two options here (and perhaps do both?):</div><div><br></div><div>1) <b>GeoForAll labs propose local training events for that week in their local communities</b></div><div><br></div><div>Maybe consider as a network would be to have a number of GeoForAll nodes all sign up to do some kind of training or promotional event at their lab during the week of October 6-12, 2019 -- promoting OSGeo-related products in their local communities. </div><div><br></div><div>2)<b> A coordinated web-based "miniconference" across GeoForAll labs on some half day during the week of Oct 6-12, 2019?</b></div><div><br></div><div>As an example: In last year's World Commons Week, an international group led by Professor Tim Randhir led a web-based "mini-conference" where, using Zoom, Tim coordinated webinars where each global participant presented some of their work. </div><div><br></div><div>What could potentially be done, under this WCW 2019 banner, would be a similar half-day event where a set of GeoForAll labs present via Zoom or perhaps Rafael Moreno's webinar platform about what their lab is doing related to OSGeo-related research and education. If, for example, <b>5 or so GeoForAll labs stepped up to do a 30 minute presentation to report some activity that might be of interest to the community, and we run these back-to-back-to-back, it would be a GeoForAll community web miniconference</b>. All participating labs could encourage their people to attend and we'd have 5-10 coordinated local events from the GeoForAll network. I think this would be a way to highlight GeoForAll and OSGeo to a community of possible users (typical commons research and practice involve people who study forests, fisheries, rivers, and other natural resources that have geospatial properties). </div><div><br></div><div>Reactions? I wonder if 5 or more labs would be willing to give 30 minute webinars that week about activities they are doing in some coordinated webinar sometime during the week of Oct 6-12?</div><div><br></div><div>Just brainstorming.

<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="gmail-m_-7484946058243132189LPlnk121198" class="gmail-m_-7484946058243132189OWAAutoLink" target="_blank"> International Association

</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="gmail-m_-7484946058243132189LPlnk142225" class="gmail-m_-7484946058243132189OWAAutoLink" target="_blank">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="gmail-m_-7484946058243132189LPlnk189043" class="gmail-m_-7484946058243132189OWAAutoLink" target="_blank">https://forms.gle/tWnzrXjZmdJn7A687</a></b></div>
