[HOT] Scholarships to Attend LCA (Due December 9th)
Hi All, LCA is an Australia/New Zealand based open source conference which 800 or 900 people attend. Last year I keynoted and was able to share HOT's work with the conference. This year I'm organizing a humanitarian open source miniconf. It is a great general open source event and I highly recommend attending. They have a scholarship program which could even cover your costs. Please read below.

The InternetNZ Diversity Programme is one of the many ways we ensure that LCA 2015 continues to be an open and welcoming conference for everyone. Together with InternetNZ this program has been created to assist under-represented delegates who contribute to the Open Source community but, without financial assistance, would not be able to attend LCA 2015. For more information please see our funding registration page: http://linux.conf.au/register/funding. LCA 2015 is proud to acknowledge the support of our Emperor Penguin Sponsors, Catalyst IT, HP and IBM, and our diversity sponsor Internet NZ The LCA 2015 Team linux.conf.au is one of the foremost open source conferences in the world and is considered the most prestigious in the Southern Hemisphere. The conference is well-known for the speakers' and delegates' depth of talent and its focus on technical linux content. LCA 2015 will be held in Auckland, New Zealand from Monday 12 to Friday 16 January 2015.

Re: [HOT] introduction
Theresa, kudos to you for the great work. I'd love to hear about the Meetup outcomes and if there were any lessons you the community would benefit from. Do you think there is room for organizing a similar event in Portland, OR?

I am here in Seattle getting ready to do a workshop on OpenStreetMap - humanitarian mapping. As you may have learned along the way, I have been giving workshops to try to increase the mapping contributors to the H.O.T. At one point it I thought you were in located in Portland, and if still there, I am reaching out to you now because I am in Seattle. So all said and done, somehow I would like to meet you via phone or in person. I am particularly interested in discussing your ideas on how you might assist me in getting some funding to continue giving the workshops, which at this point I am paying for myself. This week I will be giving two workshops in Seattle. Please feel free to let others know. And, I look forward to meeting you.

Re: [HOT] [Tag] #767 - Mali, Bamako
Hi Rod, hi HOT, Thank you Rod for your message. It really helps to know what may exist and what may not be on the ground. What I am trying to do here is a 2-step process: 1* feature identification 2* suitable tagging First the identification...

There is the mapping project http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapping_projects focusing on Food security: - *Food security:* Volunteers are mapping and tagging sources of healthy, safe, and nutritious food, including urban gardening resources. See the Food security http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Food_security page for ideas. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Food_security#Community_gardens [where community members can grow their own produce] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Food_security#Urban_farms [where typically a single grower produces food to sell or distribute to the community] From the Food security mapping project page I got this list of potential tags. * leisure=garden + garden:type=community OR (discussion of better proposal?) landuse=allotments * landuse=farmland + [shop=farm] (if produce is sold onsite) Rod: I would suggest you could voice your opinion on the discussion page or edit the page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Food_security http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Food_security#Community_gardens if you think that 'leisure=garden + garden:type=community' is not a suitable proposal. I am specifically asking for expertise here and I would humbly receive any on-site knowledge. Unfortunately there is only a limited number of meaningful and established tags in OSM and everyone has to deal with it, even people involved in mapping for Food security. For the time being this feature is at least partly identified and is tagged landuse=farmland. Maybe landuse=allotments can be considered. All the best. althio ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
Re: [HOT] Skybox for Good imagery
Hey A few notes from talking this through with Josh * Requests for SkyBox imagery would go through the usual HOT imagery coordination process http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HOT_activation#Imagery_Coordination* Use of SkyBox imagery for HOT activations would be coordinated through tasking manager projects.* The listing of all SkyBox for good requests is at https://mapsengine.google.com/00979750194450688595-08887688179650036554-4/mapview/?authuser=0. We'd go through the coordination processes above, if a HOT activation wanted to use existing imagery.* At the moment, there is no tile service. HOT would need to set up tiles from a downloaded GeoTIFF. Hope that clears things up. Btw, would be good to simply set up a test with one of the SkyBox for good GeoTIFFs, to see how it compares with Bing georeferencing and resolution.

[HOT] JOSM to include imagery_used tag in history display of an object
Don-vip has added the imagery_used tag to the ctl-h history display panel in JOSM to the development branch of that project. This is the field that iD adds to changesets automatically instead of a source= tag where we usually see imagery listed that was only put in the source=* field. So quick ctl-h lookups on objects should now start listing more of the imagery used in a future release of JOSM Thank you very much Dono-vip!
