Good thoughts ! @StephenAbraham
From the past years, Google Maps has helped me a lot in providing many good information, accurately navigating me back home and saving my times. Local Guides is like a voluntary-based program. We should not expect to gain something in return - actually Google Maps provided us more than that.
Just did the best for the application so no regret no matter how the announcement will be. Keep contributing to Google Maps, hosting meetups and doing what you love with Local Guides Program. 😄
Cheers !

This post is fantastic, @StephenAbraham. I went through the same experience (applied in '16, did not get in, got in for '17) and I think your ideas in terms of how to still participate an engage for those who don't make it this year are very intuitive and help to keep everyone as a part of the festivities. I was lucky to had the chance to meet you in '17, and with the results coming in 10 days, I hope that our community takes this advance into consideration.

@BudionoS I think Indonesia has many great Local Guides community. From so many different cities. How many were there from Indonesia in 2016 and 2017 for Summit?
I think this year, the number of applicants will be many more. We should take a guess on the number. I would say at least 25,000 this year applied. 🙂
