Re: [HOT] Mapathons for Ecuador
Hi Russ and others, we took a page from some of the remarks to the list and our own observations. During out mapping activity today we (19) mostly corrected, redrew and squared buildings for Ecuador (adding a few new ones). Ins short, we concur that another look at the current tasks completed parts is worthwhile.

The Crisis Mappers – Japan team also continues to add projects, so if by some chance there isn’t an Ecuador project, please do feel free to help on others.

Starting on April 21st (around 2am Ecuador time), I will be gathering 20 GIS-people for further training (Kassel, Germany). My plan is to train them in JOSM and help with the mapping efforts for Ecuador. Via Andrew buck I am told new imagery will be available soon, with new tasks coming up. If there is something we can map or re-map/correct ( squaring buildings etc.) from afar, please let us know. The current projects look they might be finished by 2am, so I want to makes sure we can actually help you this way. If not, just say so. If there is something that needs some more training before being done, we might be able to arrange that. Sadly we have no spanish speakers available. I will check tonight and tomorrow (German time) early morning for news. I entered the Mapathon into the list as requested.

[HOT] Back as an organizer for mapping activities
Dear HOT! My name is Andreas Reimer, I helped organizing the activities coming from Heidelberg University during the Haiyan response. I am also a former colleague of Pascal Neis, who I thank very much for bringing me into the OSM fold. These activities back in 2013 were a catalyst for students who later founded the DisasterMappers Heidelberg who have been active ever since, so all the multiplication starting with Pascal has had some impact. I am now teaching GIS in Kassel. I just wanted to say I am now available again as organizer and multiplier, we can arrange for mapping teams of geomatics trained mappers (20) on very short notice. So, if Andrew Buck or someone wants to get into contact please do so. Back in 2013 we had some interesting experiments with coordinated multi-user mapping. I would love to continue and formalize such things. As my new job posting is supposed to be permanent, I hope to build some more permanent training scheme and structure to help out.
