[STDM-dev] Call for Participation - STDM Code Sprint 2017 : Deadline 31 March 2017

[John Gitau]

We are very excited to announce the call for participation to the maiden
STDM Code Sprint!

The Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM) is a pro-poor, gender responsive and
participatory land information system which has been developed by
UN-Habitat through GLTN and other partners to bridge the gap between
formally-registered land and land that is not registered. The usage of STDM
has been specifically focused to support those areas falling outside formal
tenures and cadastral systems such as informal settlements and areas
governed by customary laws and traditional practices. It is based on open
source technologies thus making the tool available to all and the concept
adheres to some underlying principles of the ISO Land Administration Domain
Model (LADM).

To further extend the functionality of STDM and also to improve know-how in
the region, GLTN has organized a code sprint that will be held from*
24th-27th April
2017* at the *Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development
(RCMRD) *in Nairobi, Kenya.

The code sprint is open to all geospatial developers and technical
documentation writers but requires a formal application including a CV and
prior experience in the field. More information about the code sprint is
available here <http://stdm.gltn.net/docs/STDM_Code_Sprint_2017.pdf>.

There are limited travel grants available for applicants who fit the
profile and preferably come from Africa, Asia or South America.


Applications close on *Friday 31st March 2017.*


Regards,

The GLTN Team!
