DESCRIPTION:Nearly half of the world’s 6 million schools still lack inter
 net access - a barrier to learning\, opportunity\, and equity. In this Bir
 ds of a Feather session\, we’ll explore how Giga is using open geospatia
 l data and tools to map school locations and connectivity status\, helping
  governments\, partners\, and communities make smarter investments and clo
 se the digital divide.\n\nWe'll also explore the power of open school data
  beyond connectivity: how can we better support disaster response\, infras
 tructure planning\, and public health\, unlocking broader social impact th
 rough transparency and collaboration.\n\nJoin us to exchange ideas\, discu
 ss open data standards\, and connect with others working at the intersecti
 on of FOSS\, mapping\, and meaningful access.\n\nPerson to contact: Mick L
