Hi all, our first Community AMA guest was Joao Porto de Albuquerque, who has been working with maps and disaster response / resilience in community and academic settings for many years.Recently, through his work at the University of Warwick in the UK, he has been collaborating with local groups on community mapping in slums / informal settlements and community research projects.He spent time with the community working group in our meeting on 19 October and talked about this collaborative work, particularly in Brazil and Colombia.Please feel free to continue the conversation in this thread!

This community working group supports communities to thrive as part of a global humanitarian open mapping movement. We believe an improved community is one which works together better, and which fosters and supports the growth of local groups around the world.Find us also on the OSM wiki or on Slack, Matrix and Telegram (all bridged).We encourage and support a healthy, positive, and peaceful collaboration; guided by the HOT code of conduct.Please feel free to engage with the conversations in the threads below or start your own conversation on a new thread.The Community WG Forum/Loomio page aims to:
help us better facilitate asynchronous (or no-meeting-required) communication and coordination
provide easy navigation on topics using tags (unlike chat, you don't have to backread, tags will save time to search for posts!)
have more open and inclusive communication (esp for those who are not a fan of Slack/instant messaging :)

and many more!
