Map-py Wednesday Talk Show Proposal
It all started from conversation between Supaplex and GOwin. While the general OSM community have the WeeklyOSM to highlight notable updates during the week, and the GeoMob podcast series by OpenCage that's released every few months. The latter one tend to have more Western interviewees, probably because of geography or intended audience. Maybe we can have something similar for Asia and the Pacific to focus the attention on key or influential figures, or introducing commnities, and initiatives they are involved in.
This ideas was presented in the January episode of Map-py Wednesday , on 1/15. Supaplex's presentation deck is available here.
Some may already know about the podcast Geomob, that often feature folks from OSM. Even though it is possible to self-nominate yourself to be on Geomob, our proposed version may directly contact OSM Asia folks, talking specifically about the Asian region, or interesting projects, or exchange views about the OSM ecosystem, may be considered. The final goal might be an Asia version of Geomob.
