Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa) Product Developer, Fang Yuan, will present a lightning talk on the program, what we\u2019re working to achieve and how our analysis-ready satellite data for Africa is powered by STAC metadata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alex Leith who heads up Digital Earth Australia and Africa Technologies will also provide a hands-on introduction to our DE Africa data so participants will be equipped with knowledge to get involved and contribute to the DE Africa sponsored community awards prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Community awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To further the Cloud Native Geospatial ecosystem, a number of prizes will be awarded across a variety of categories to recognise and encourage contributions, and to bring along new community members. We\u2019re proud to sponsor a \u2018Newcomers Grant\u2019 of $1000 to help new participants take work they begin from the day to continue within their community, plus a full travel grant for the next in-person STAC sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside Amazon Web Services (SWA), we\u2019re also sponsoring the \u2018Best use of our contribution to Sentinel-2 Africa STAC\/COG data\u2019 community recognition award. We encourage participants to consider how the data could be used to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
