  Distinguished Carleton University researcher Fraser Taylor has received a coveted Killam Prize worth $100,000.
  Why?
  Taylor has demonstrated the power of cybercartography, an enhanced form of multimedia mapping using geographic information management that deepens the understanding of socio-economic issues.
  So what ?
  1- In Canada, and around the world, his cybercartographic atlases have delivered new perspectives and a way to comprehend complex issues such as trade and economic patterns, international development and the risk of homelessness.
  2- He is actively engaged in the new United Nations Initiative on Geospatial Information Management, which seeks to address key global challenges through more effective use of global geospatial information.
  
  Oh I see how is the context relevant to DIGH5000-14W?
  
  This posting is intended to encourage all of us to present a creative and sustainable Pecha Kucha project that is doable, engaging and useful to humanity. Pecha Kucha is just and only the beginning, the sky is the limit.
