Hi all, *Version en français dans le corps du texte ci après*
I had a quick chat with Shoaib who created #mapcongo for the first mapping party in Berlin. It's efficient, straight, easy to get and has been in use and surely great for any re-use. One thing to consider if we were to continue using it is the fact that we have two Congo, with two local OSM groups cd Congo, The Democratic Republic of the cg Congo A way forward may be to suffix the two letters iso country code to #mapcongo (#mapcongocd and #mapcongocg) We do not have, nor the coordination bodies active in the UN, DHN etc, a formal mechanism to decide on which # to reuse (when already in place) or to create at the event of a crisis or for a mapping projects (support to disaster preparedness or economic development action). But this is something we need to put in place. In the case of a project like this mapping in DRC, the choice of a hashtag (#mapcongo or others) can endure and it's somehow part of the osm/identity of the project. It might be great to get the views of a couple of folks mapping in Congo and Cong DR on what seems most appropriate for them in the long run, so that we can have easily serachable twitter contents associated to those mapping campaigns Version en français J'ai eu un bref chat avec Shoaib qui a crée le #mapcongo pour la premiere mapping party de Berlin où la cartographie de Lubumbashi a commencé. #mapcongo : efficace, direct et parlant, a été utilisé et présente donc un avantage certain pour des usages ultérieurs. Toutefois dnas cette réutilisation à venir, il nous faut faire cas des deux Congos où des groupes OSM se constituent : cd Congo, The Democratic Republic of the cg Congo Une solution pourrait être de suffixer le code de pays ISO au #mapcongo : - #mapcongocd - #mapcongocg Nous n'avons pas (HOT), ainsi que les structures de coordinaiton (UN, DHN) de processus en place pour decider des # à ré-utiliser (quand déjà crée et en place)ou à créer pour le cas de crise ou de projet carto (prévention ou appui au développement). C'est à discuter et mettre en oeuvre de facon souple et pratique. Dans le cas d'un projet comme celui ci (RDC), le choix de ce hashtag (#mapcongo ou autre) peut avoir un impact dans le temps et a donc a voir (plus ou moins) avec une forme d'identité OSM du pays. Il serait bon d'avoir l'avis, les vues de certains et certaines qui sont actifs/ actives autour d'OSM au Congo et au Congo DR sur ce qui leur semple le plus pertinent pour eux dans le long terme de façon à pouvoir disposer de contenus crées sur twitter en lien avec cette cartographie OSM facilement mobilisables. ++ Nico On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 9:07 PM, nicolas chavent <nicolas.chav...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Jorieke and all, > > Thanks Jorieke for your email and reminding the main focus (FieldPapers' > digitialization) > For hashtag, I am all for suggestions, would be great to keep the one used > from Shohahib and Ivan's first mapping party in Berlin or jointly define a > short one reusable for any future mapping in RDC #map4dc, looking forward > to reading suggestions > > Excellent evening towards the coming of this event > Ciao > ++ > Nico > > > On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 1:28 PM, Jorieke Vyncke > <jorieke.vyn...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> Thanks a lot for your reactions! >> About the Tasking Managers and imagery.
