<b>Asunto:</b> [Geo4All] Upcoming Knowledge Commons online conference: A possible way to promote and expand open source geospatial software and education?</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Dear GeoForAll colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm <a href="https://2021knowledge.iasc-commons.org/">co-organizing an upcoming online conference on "Knowledge Commons"</a> (June 7-9th, 2021) organized by the
<a href="https://iasc-commons.org/">International Association for the Study of the Commons</a>. Open-source software, open data and open educational resources fall under this label. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div><b>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.</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The conference is relatively cheap for non-IASC members ($50 USD). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
