Fred,
Thanks for the update on your work and for your offer for more mapathons. These will be needed for sure as we intensify our efforts in Canaan.

The Red Cross is very committed to ensuring strong connections with the community. That part of the project is being handled by other Haitian and American Red Cross folks based in Port-au-Prince. We do want to engage the local mappers and are working to get some materials translated to better work involve the local OSM community.

Any further advice or guidance you or anyone else has from OSM-Haiti is extremely welcome. We will begin out field mapping work later this spring and will have very large community volunteer presence.

Thanks
Dale

    Hello Dale, very good initiative to have a massive use of Mapillary.

    For OSM Haiti side, We just finished processing of the drones images (
    February 2015 including infrared). We still have a lot of cleaning
    to do,
    because we want to extract the land cover and height of the building.

    Concerning Canaan:
    This is an informal area it has been built without the help of NGOs.
    This is a complex organization and it is important to be careful
    and involve
    as much as possible the people not only the leader ( what we can
    do on our
    side is to organize  mapping ,party/participatory gis, training,
    if by any
    chance somebody has some budget,…)

    OSM haiti made some training in 2014 for  the red cross in Cap
    Haitien,

    Mappng party in Cannan :

     OSM Haiti has done some work with communities (16 meeting) to
    identify
    blocks over onaville / Canaan. It is important to be able to
    support the
    process and let the community organizing and thing about the use
    of this
    space with of course local authority.

    Remote mapping: Let's see if we can organize a mapping party in
    Paris, to
    support your initiative.

    We will need to use the same image or reference, to be sure we
    have the same
    spatial reference during digitizing.

    All the best FredM
