In this dialogue, we take a journey through Geochicas’ eight years of impactful work within both the OpenStreetMap (OSM) and OSGeo communities. From our early days to our growth as a network of diverse voices, Geochicas has forged connections, expanded reach, and set new standards for inclusivity in open mapping and geographic information systems. Along the way, we’ve collaborated with other collectives, amplifying our impact across continents and platforms, and launched projects that bring a fresh perspective to digital mapping through the lens of equity and representation. This conversation uncovers the milestones we've reached, the partnerships we’ve cultivated, and the strategies we’re developing to build even more inclusive and supportive geospatial communities. Join us as we share stories, insights, and our vision for the future, exploring how we can continue inspiring positive change in the communities we care deeply about.
