This is a call to host local events as part of the Second Annual Global World Commons Week (October 6-12, 2019).Open source software (and open educational resources) are forms of Internet-based “commons” — and that’s what the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IACS) [1] is trying to promote. A link between GeoForAll and OSGeo and the IASC community is a natural one. The Second Annual Global World Commons Week will take place 6-12 October 2019. Last year’s website is at http://worldcommonsweek.org  if you want to see what happened in last year’s event.


An important element of World Commons Week 2019 are establishing coordinated local events all over the world on commons related issues and practice. If you are planning any local events around open source or open education (e.g., a workshop on a FOSS4G topic, a lecture, be part of GeoForAll webinars), please complete this online survey at  https://forms.gle/tWnzrXjZmdJn7A687


I would like to thank Charlie Schweik, Sergio Acosta y Lara and all colleagues working to organise GeoForAll session at World Commons Week 2019.  I would to like to thank all educators worldwide who have made contributions to open education efforts and being good global citizens by helping spread the benefits of education to all. Access to quality education and opportunities is key for getting rid of extreme poverty and enable broadly shared prosperity for all. We look forward to working and building collaborations with all interested on this open education mission.



Best wishes,


Suchith Anand
