Hi there, a correction. Our correct website is www.openlabs.cc. As Open Labs I have to admit that there is so much more to do in OSM from the local community. At the moment we are focused in organizing OSCAL Conference ( http://oscal.openlabs.cc/), but I will raise this as an issue in the next community meeting. We have Besfort Guri from Kosova talking about similar issues in the conference, and I'll personally organise an open discussion about OSM as well.
Thanks for pointing this out. *---* *Redon Skikuli* *e-mail: **re...@skikuli.com <re...@skikuli.com>* *web: **www.skikuli.com <http://www.skikuli.com>* On Fri, Apr 10, 2015 at 2:53 PM, Mike Dupont <jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com > wrote: > Howdy, > > check out openlabs.com which is a group who is working on open source and > knowledge projects in Albania. > > in 2010 I was working on the flooding in Shokder, work page here with some > non dead links. > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/AlbanianFloodingCrisisCamp > > We have a mailing list with many users from Kosovo on it, there might be > some from Albania. > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gis-kosova > > mike > > > On Fri, Apr 10, 2015 at 4:54 AM, malenki <o...@malenki.ch> wrote: > >> About a month ago I stumbled over some beginners mapping in Tirana >> (capital of Albania). >> Though the edits were not too useful they were tagged with >> #hotosm-project-926 #PeaceCorps #PeaceCorpsAlbania source=Bing >> so I thought to do nothing for the time being since the connected task >> http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/926 said >> | The Peace Corps Program in Tirana is training Volunteers […] >> But after a month the data isn't changed/corrected and my message¹ to >> the creator of the task sent on 24th of March still is not answered. >> >> A mentioning of the issue on IRC on March 28th also don't give results. >> >> My view of the issue is: >> Which worth has a "training" when the trainees don't get feedback? >> The creator of the task (which I assume the trainer) hasn't made a >> single edit in Albania. >> The data created during the task wasn't enhanced after creating it. >> >> Now I'd like to hand over the "issue" to people with more experience >> in HOT. >> >> Regards >> Thomas >> >> ¹ The message I sent: >> >> Mirëdita [Albanian "good day"] $User >> >> you created HOT task 926¹ for training volunteers in Albania. >> >> I welcome people mapping a country I really like and of course HOT is >> an invaluable program.
