Hi all, HOT (Helen Campbell from NetHope and myself really are looking for this project) is looking for someone who is very experienced in OSM Admin Boundary conflation and OSM relations. Knowing a little bit of other GIS tools would also be very helpful.
There is possibility of importing of data, but the initial project is to get out OSM boundaries and conflate them with 3rd party boundary data to determine which is most up to date and accurate and then turn that data over to our partner for their use in humanitarian work in the Balkans. If an import of data or conflation of data to provide OSM updated administrative boundaries for country is possible and makes sense, the full data import process will be followed as a separate project, in consultation through the OSM Imports email list and Import wiki required documentation. We are looking for a volunteer to really drive this project and help sort out workflows and best practices or at least lessons learned, in the process and document the process at its completion. I estimate that on a volunteer basis this project will last about 1 month (about 50 admin boundaries to conflate).. Helen from NetHOPE asked me to add: "Yes for sure - please mention that its for supporting the {EU} refugee crisis too! And you could also mention that this is frequently an issue in humanitarian response, so having it all documented will be a huge leap forward for the humanitarian community!" So if feel you have the experience and the time to dedicate to the project, please get in touch with me directly.
