Rajshahi Local Guides Community Gathers to Celebrate 8 Years of Collaboration

Today, Rajshahi Local Guides celebrated the 8th anniversary of the Connect Forum. The event was held at Rajshahi College Campus and was attended by local guides from Rajshahi City and around. The event was an opportunity for the community members to come together and share their experiences and learn from one another.

During the event, participants shared their experiences with the Connect Forum and discussed how the platform had helped them in their contributions to Google Maps. They also discussed how they have contributed to the forum and how it has helped them grow as local guides.

Cutting the anniversary cake was the event’s highlight, marking the 8th anniversary of the Connect Forum. The cake, decorated with the number eight (8), was cut by the participants amidst cheers and applause from the attendees. The delicious cake was then served to all attendees, who enjoyed it as they mingled and networked with one another.

Following the cake-cutting, an informal knowledge-sharing session about contributing to Google Maps was held. The active contributors led the session and shared valuable tips and tricks on effectively contributing to the platform and making the most out of the features available. The attendees were also given an insight into how to improve their contributions to Google Maps and make them more accurate and informative. The session was interactive, and attendees were encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences.

The knowledge-sharing session was an opportunity for Local Guides to learn from each other and better understand how to contribute to Google Maps effectively. The session was well-received, and attendees felt more confident and motivated to continue contributing to the Connect platform.

I have started with an intro where I have shared tips and tricks on effectively contributing to the platform and making the most out of the available features. The attendees were also given insight into improving their contributions to Google Maps and making them more accurate and informative.

Ariful Islam Nayan, a renowned youth activist, joined the event by knowing about it online and shared his experience with google maps. He added that this kind of forum from like-minded people helps motivate the volunteers.

Nazmul Islam, who works with open source communities and works as a contributor to the WordPress community, shared about the importance of community and community for voluntary works like this.

Sabbir Islam Khan briefed about the functions of posting on connect forum, and he projected the live process from his mobile phone. Khaled Masud Emon shared about the topics we can share on connect forum.

Shahinur Islam shared his stories on connect and how he got huge motivation from other connect members throughout the forum posts.

About the venue

We have selected the venue Rajshahi College’s signature place named Udayaste Bangladesh. This sculpture represents the contribution of freedom fighters from Rajshahi to the independence of Bangladesh. A vast terracotta with historical heritage has been built over 160 square feet. The terracotta has been placed in the name of those whose contribution is undeniable from the time of the establishment of Rajshahi College till now.

Nice to see many cheerful faces making it a lively meeting.

The banner, flag and the cake - all look great :+1:

Looking at Rajshahi, it looks so close to the border, just across the river.
