Hi community members from and in Asia!
We are opening this to have wider discussion with the community re State of the Map Asia 2023. Please comment your ideas on this thread. We hope to come up with a decision on or before 21 April.
Background on previous discussions:
A. November 2022:
Last SotM 2022 in the Philippines, a couple of us had in-person discussion regarding approaches as well as the pros and cons of having SotM Asia. Notes here.
Some approaches that were shared during the in-person discussion:
-
One central SotM Asia 2023 with community bidding
-
Have satellite / consecutive events per country to have wider participation and more accessibility
-
Partner with an international/regional event that is also having an event in Asia Eg Wikimania 2023 (August in Singapore) / might be too late
-
1 national + 1 regional events (like the approach in SotM 2022)
-
To take turn with FOSS4G Asia which happens every 2years - which means SotM Asia will be next year as FOSS4G Asia will be this year
B. Early this year:
We also have started some conversations via Messenger chat. Some communities i.e. Thailand and Sri Lanka have expressed their interest to host SotM Asia 2023. With this, most of the people in the group are agreeing with Approach #1 (One central SotM Asia 2023 with community bidding).
Please comment your ideas on this thread. We hope to come up with a decision on or before 21 April. Thank you!
