Accessible Life - Public for Everyone

[ErmesT]

This is a great and important moment for me: Years of preparation, to finally be able to go live and to present publicly with what I consider my most important project: Accessible Life

First of all I wants to thanks @KarenVChin , @LightRich , @Jesi , @LaloPadilla and @JaneBurunina , for the help they gave me during the presentation, and for wanting to test the project first. Honestly, I was extremely nervous, reluctant to show to the world my baby, thinking that it was not ready, not good enough, with mistakes.

Karen, Riccardo, Jesi and Jane helped me to overcome my doubts and fears, and they did it in a superlative way. Surprisingly, Lalo started working on a beautiful Accessible Place, and so did Riccardo. This reassured me a lot that yes, it could be done, it was possible to do it and it wasn't difficult to do.

Thanks to everyone who wanted to join the live streaming, and of course thanks to everyone who wanted to drop a comment. We had a lot of comment, a lot of encouragement, even if only a few questions. But we had some question in the form, from @SilvyC , from @LaloPadilla and @RosyKohli , and we wanted to respond to them, as you can see in the video.

During the presentation we wanted to give to everyone a general view of the project, a project that now you can explore by yourself. Don't be surprised if some of the place is "work in progress". This project is very dynamic, and is evolving day by day

Here is the link to ➡️ Accessible Life ⬅️. Feel free to explore and to drop a comment, or to write your questions here.

[LaloPadilla]

Congratulations for launching your project @ErmesT , I'm sure that it will be a tremendous success and it will raise awareness

And as you said in the live stream, I hope that in a future a lot of Local Guides upload so many maps that you don't have the time to add them! 😂

Thanks for including me as a guest and for letting me see your project.

Le deseo buen éxito al nuevo proyecto sobre accesibilidad en Google Earth, mi estimado @ErmesT . Me perdí la anterior reunión virtual; así que espero participar en alguna de las próximas reuniones. 

[ErmesT]

I hope so, @LaloPadilla , I hope so, not for me, but for the function of the project itself.

You fully deserved the right to be live, Lalo, and I have seen a great group of supporters from Mexico and all Latino America, including my great friend @Imperiospice (Me muero por encontrarla de nuevo - she knows what I mean 🤗) . The flow of Comments in Facebook (and on my broadcast screen) was absolutely impressive 

I will be happy to join Team Tacos for another presentation

[ErmesT]

Of course, @BeatrizAguilar 

In any case you can see the complete video of the presentation in the post. Enjoy it

Congratulations, @ErmesT, this is wonderful news! We've been following the development of the project closely on Connect, and it's fantastic to see that it's all come to fruition.

I really enjoyed watching the conversation you had with Jesi, Jane, Karen, Lalo, and Ricardo, and I'm happy that you gave in to their encouragement to share your project, despite thinking it wasn't ready. Amazing effort!

[Jesi]

@ErmesT I'm happy that it went so well, and that your work is finally public to everyone. Thank you for inviting me, I will definitely be up for any future meet-ups 😁

I've been thinking of places I could add to the project, and I think I have the perfect one to start! Argentina will soon have it's place on the project 🇦🇷

[ErmesT]

Thank you so much for your words, and for your continue attention to the loooong evolution of the project, @DeniGu 

Your feedback is very important for me, first of all because you were in San Jose with us, and in San Jose I shared for the first time my idea with Sasha.

Yes, they encouraged me a lot. This project is my baby, and in my mind will never be ready to walk alone in the world.

The "Support Group" was amazing, they knew I was scared, and with a lot of command in my screen (as I was managing the broadcast studio too).

But the most incredible thing was to see the flow of comments coming up on the Social Media, from all over the world. Everything was very warm and friendly so I am sure next time will be better and better and, well, the baby will be able to walk alone

[DeniGu]

This project really is your baby @ErmesT, but seeing the love and passion with which you pursue it and talk about it, I'm certain that it will not only walk on its own one day, but also run and talk and grow! 😊 I'm looking forward to all these exciting moments!
