2022
When I asked the audience how many were Local Guides, a handful raised their hands, indicating the need for greater awareness about the program. Nearly 10 people reached out after the talk to ask more about the program and a desire to join while others indicated they were Level X but didn't know about the communities and LG Connect.
- When is the Street View program coming to Kenya? [Discussed 360 cameras and how individuals can contribute via Street View. For official Street View content, this is to be confirmed].
- How can we be assured of security when we have our cameras on our street? [This is a local issue, on which Nairobi photographers are pushing our governor for support ]
- Can the communities support the Local Guides better in ways such as events and more? [This was brought up during the LG Summit as well. Added the individual to our Nairobi Community group and we'll work on improving the frequency of our meetups @KoffiK]
- With all the content being crowdsourced by Local Guides, can the developers have access to some of it on Google Maps? [ @TraciC, best response for this?]
- How do we know that our contributions are of quality? [Received this question later on. I'll update the slide with links to some Youtube videos.].
- It was engaging. Used the last 5 minutes for Q&A and shared slides which helped those in the back who couldn't see the main screen.
- Most of the audience could relate to the program
- In the future, bring out the value of being a Local Guide in the local community (localise the content?)
- Explain more about how users can contribute quality content.
- Positive feedback on the flow of the slides.
- @TraciC is it possible to have a 1-hour descriptive deck vs a 30-minute crash course deck?
