Volunteer positions for a project in Albania This project is commissioned by Free Libre Open Source Software Kosovo (FLOSSK; http://flossk.tuxfamily.org/foswiki/bin/view.pl), a non-profit organization in Kosovo. The objective of FLOSSK is the promotion of free open source software in Kosovo. As part of their mission, they promote projects such as: Openstreetmap (OSM), Wikipedia, creative commons, etc.
FLOSSK is requesting the assistance of GISCorps volunteers in creating an accurate base map for a region in northwest of Albania known as Shkoder. This region was stricken by flood in January 2010. You can read about the current status on the OSM Wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Shkoder The base map will include: road network, damaged buildings, flooded areas and also various imageries. A nationwide road network has been donated to the organization; however, that information must be reconciled against the information on OSM.
