I got 71/77 cards so I hope I can trade with others to complete the set. I know Daniel shared a sheet for trades but most of them there are far from the Philippines haha. Maybe at this year's FOSS4G conference or at future events? 😂

P.S. I've been brainstorming/thinking about something similar for the local / community in the Philippines. Shall we?

I hope you found something at the Pista that made you fall in love (with open mapping and open geospatial) and I wish to see you all once again next year.

We need more women and people from marginalized and under-represented communities in the open mapping/geospatial field and having you there sends a powerful message and serves as a wonderful inspiration to others.

G p ba next year?

Lastly, to my co-organizers during the week—Feye, Leigh, and Mikko—you were awesome, bar none. You held up more than half the sky during the week and the Pista would not have been as festive without you. I'm happy that we were able to pull this off but I'm even happier that we were able to make the conference as diverse and inclusive as we could.

To our volunteers, I may not have been able to thank you all personally but know that you were the secret sauce that kept the Pista going and I look forward to seeing you all grow in the community.

One of the missions of Pista ng Mapa is to bring the beauty and wonder of open mapping/geospatial outside of Metro Manila and I hope we were able to do just that for my fellow Albayanos. Thank you to the Bicol University College of Engineering and Department of Geodetic Engineering for graciously and generously hosting us. You set quite a bar for the next Pista ng Mapa host. 😄

This was also a homecoming for me. I can still remember the looks on the faces of some of our amazing volunteers from the Geodetic Engineers of the Philippines Inc. Bicol University Student Chapter when they find out that, like them, I'm also just a kid from Albay.

Them: "Taga Albay ka sir?"
Me: "Iyo tabi, Ligao City born and raised."

But seeing the passion for open mapping bloom in the eyes of newcomers and be rekindled in those of fellow old-timers (okay, experienced members of the community), how could I walk away? The community has accomplished so much in the past few years and I want to see how much more we can achieve in the years to come.

To once again be with kindred spirits from the open mapping and open geospatial communities was invigorating. I joked all week that the reason why I had so many talks was because it was my farewell tour to the community and that I was planning on taking a break next year—like MJ back in '94.

Finally back home after two weeks. It was an eventful and busy November—Ber's Bar exam, Pista ng Mapa x State of the Map Asia 2022 conference in Albay, and a QGIS training in Tuguegarao. Haven't had the time to dump photos and thoughts (nor build my used parts PC). 😆

Uncharacteristically long posts coming in the next few days. 😅
