FOSS4G 2018/Logo Contest

__TOC__
The FOSS4G 2018 Logo Contest is now closed!
==Winning Logo==
Thanks to Nicholas Lubanga who designed the winning logo.
Thank you all for your submissions and voting!
= Logo Design =
The FOSS4G 2018 Local Organizing Committee was pleased to announce a call for logo designs. We needed your help to build a strong recognizable logo for FOSS4G Dar es Salaam 2018.
Full details are available here: FOSS4G 2018/Logo Contest
We put together this Design Brief (borrowing from the FOSS4G 2017) that outlines what we are looking for in a logo. Entrants could be an individual or team of people, even a design company.
By submitting a logo you will be assigning your copyright to OSGeo so that it can be used across different mediums. The LOC may also commission improvements of the winning work. Entries need to appear on the wiki page FOSS4G 2018/Logo Entries by 23:59 EAT (before midnight) on Friday, April 15th, 2017. The FOSS4G 2018 Local Organizing Committee will decide by vote which logo to use.
=== How to enter ===
* Create your logo in PNG file format and a scalable file format (either SVG or PDF).
** If you're not used to scalable formats please still enter the competition as we can try to help.
* Make your logo available online, one option is to upload it to the OSM Wiki (upload link).
* Add a link, or include your logo on the wiki page FOSS4G 2018/Logo Entries.
=== Distribution ===
The FOSS4G website (www.foss4g.org), flyers, emails, sponsor communications, t-shirts and potentially other conference ‘schwag’ like fabric or plastic bags, keychains, pens etc. Printed material at the conference such as timetable of talks, notebooks, banners and conference guide. Potentially small web-based button images for use on third party websites to promote the conference or fact that someone is speaking there, for placement on blogs and other web pages.
=== Design ===
==== The design MUST ====
* Include elements of the OSGeo / FOSS4G "ribbon" as can be seen in all previous conference logos 
* Include themes for Tanzania
* Be easily printable on t-shirts with as few colours as possible (no more than 3). This keeps the cost of printing down.
* Be delivered in PNG file format and a scalable format (SVG or PDF).
* Not be similar to other mapping conference logos (Where 2.0, ESRI, SOTM...)
* Not communicate the brand of potential sponsors or related companies
* Not include copyrighted material that is not yours
==== The design MAY ====
* Come in different sizes (example: a main logo and a variant for use on small print media such as badges).
==== The design should communicate ====
* The Africa Experience
* Fun
* Nature
* Cool
* Openness
* A sense of community
* The potential of free and open source geospatial tools
* A sense of learning and education
* Intelligence
* Trustworthiness
* Global movement
==== The design should not communicate ====
* Corporate / big business (as the sole element)
* Complexity
* Expensive
* For geeks only
* Closed community

FOSS4G 2021/Indigenous Hackathon

== Indigenous Hackathon ==
The Group on Earth Observations (GEO) Indigenous Alliance in partnership with Space4Innovation is announcing the Indigenous FOSS4G Hackathon 2021: a hackathon by and for Indigenous communities. The challenges of the hackathon will be co-designed by Indigenous communities from around the world during a series of pre-hacks.
The Indigenous FOSS4G Hackathon 2021 will take place virtually on October 1-2, 2021. Everyone is welcome to participate. Join Indigenous communities in co-designing their own culturally appropriate ICT solutions using open source data and tools to address the challenges they face.
The Indigenous FOSS4G Hackathon 2021 will help maximise the social benefits of open data
and tools by:
* Increasing awareness of Indigenous Peoples' specific data needs and priorities;
* Promoting the use of open EO data among Indigenous communities to address local issues;
* Improving and strengthening Indigenous/local culture through the use of open EO data and ICTs; and
* Improving cross-cultural communication between local communities, the FOSS4G
community and data providers.
