Re: [OSM-talk] Congratulations everyone!
That's wonderful, Kate. I saw some more pictures on the OSMF Flickr account, but those also don't show enough detail to make out what this record is..I'm curious too! :) Martijn On Sun, Mar 24, 2019 at 11:02 AM, Oleksiy Muzalyev wrote: Hi Kate, Thank you for sharing! I read the article and the description of the Award for Projects of Social Benefit. Still I have a question, - is it a music plate, what you hold in your hands on the photo?

Would it be too much to ask to make an HD photo of the award, publish it online, and sent us the link? It seems to me there is a text on the award, and I am curious what it says. But on the photos in the article the text is not readable.

[OSM-talk] State of the Map 2019 - Scholarships, review team and criteria
Hello, The OpenStreetMap Foundation [1], which supports the project and organises the annual State of the Map conference [2], offers financial assistance to people who would like to attend State of the Map. To apply for a scholarship/grant to attend State of the Map 2019 which will take place in Heidelberg, Germany (September 21 – 23), please read https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2019/02/26/apply-for-scholarship-to-join-us-at-state-of-the-map-2019-in-heidelberg/ # Review team and criteria We expect to receive around 150-200 applications. In order to set up the SotM 2019 team that will review the scholarship applications, we decided to contact past scholars who might want to be involved in the process. * Twelve persons will review the applications (Thanks!). All people who replied or self-volunteered were included. * Eleven are past scholars. * Four are women. * Four volunteered to help without/prior to being contacted. # Geographic distribution of review team nationalities: * 4 Africa * 4 Asia-Pacific * 4 Europe # Criteria for reviewing the applications: Here’s a list of factors that the team will consider when reviewing the applications: * Is the applicant part of an under-represented minority group? * Are they from an under-represented location? * Are they contributing to OSM in a substantial way? (Not only OpenStreetMap edits, but contributed to wiki and documentation, trainers, developers). * Have they applied previously and not gotten a scholarship? * Do they have a unique story or experience to share? * Are they in a position to share their SotM experience with a larger group? * Will their attendance benefit their local community in some way? * How difficult will their visa application be? * How will attending State of the Map benefit them and OpenStreetMap? # Stats so far We received a good number of applications from Africa and South Asia. We would be happy to receive many applications from other regions too. Please spread the word to your local community if you can :) You can submit or update your application before the 30th of March. If you have any enquiries, feel free to send an email to scholar-s...@openstreetmap.org Thank you. warm greetings, Dorothea [1] https://wiki.osmfoundation.org [2] https://stateofthemap.org ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
