Hi Joe,
Please follow https://twitter.com/mapuganda to stay up to date on
current activities - today, we were organizing a mapathon in Gulu at
Gulu University, mapping tasks such as
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2770. HOT and CartoNG will be publishing
many more over the next couple of months. And if you happen to be around
in Kampala, come visit us at Hive Colab (http://hivecolab.org/)!
Best,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Did you happen to see the post by Nate from earlier today, on the
"Community chat for a field mapping management application"? We'll
be developing this over the coming months specifically to aid
large scale field mapping and data collection, and should be
trialling it in our current projects around the refugee crises in
northern Uganda and Istanbul. Would be great if you could join
this chat. Following up, we could have an additional chat with
your team as well to gain a better understanding of your
requirements as well.
Best,
Paul

Hello all,
I work with GIS at MSF-UK.
We are conducting a fairly grand-scale field survey in South
Kivu in June. We are collecting using OSM keys because we
ultimately want the data in OSM and for all.
The survey will produce lots of data and we could do with help
uploading it to OSM. I am therefore creating a field data
upload to OSM workflow for volunteer mappers and which we hope
will be tested by a group of Missing Maps London mapathon
attendees and JOSM users post-June.
I am still very much thinking the workflow through, but it
will necessarily involve volunteers:
* Downloading a .csv file with an OSM key header and values
cleaned in OpenRefine;
* Installing the OpenData plugin and opening the .csv file
in JOSM;
* Installing the ToDo list plugin and adding the .csv file
features to ToDo list;
* And working through the .csv file features, referencing
against aerial imagery and OSM data and either adding keys
and values to map features or creating new map features.
I think it would be great if this work was channeled through
the HOT Tasking Manager. There would be many advantages.
Tasking Manager:
* Would help portion up and distribute the work (could the
.csv be made downloadable from the Contribute tab?);
* Would ultimately allow contributions from around the world;
* Could host the step-by-step guide I am producing and
project-specific instructions;
* And would facilitate validation.
I would love to chat with those fluent in the Tasking Manager
to explore the possibilities.
Best,
Paul Stewart
