[HOT] Missing Maps on the BBC World Service.

2017-11-07 Thread matthew brunswick
It's possible I missed someone mention this before as I don't read the
email daily, but I heard a programme about Missing Maps on the world
service yesterday. It's pretty good as an intro I thought.

It's available to hear at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cswbzd

[HOT] Export Tool 3.0 | Webinar 15th November 2017

2017-11-07 Thread Mhairi O'Hara
Hello everyone,

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team  (HOT) is
hosting a community webinar next week on the 15th November 2017 (12.00pm
GMT) on the recently released Export Tool 3.0. The new version went live in
September at https://export.hotosm.org/.

The online tool allows users to create custom OSM extracts anywhere in the
world, by selecting an area of interest, map features and file formats.
Within minutes, up-to-date OpenStreetMap 
(OSM) data is exported, filtered and converted.

The webinar will go demonstrate how to use the tool, focusing on
‘Identifying Area of Interest’, ‘Selecting File Formats’, ‘Customising Map
Features’ and 'Applying Exported Data'. There will also be dedicated time
for questions and comments from participants.

We want to hear from the community regarding the pros and cons of the tool,
and invite you all to join, both new and experienced OSM users! Please
register for the talk through Eventbrite
.
Hope to see you there.

Kind regards,

Mhairi
