Greetings everyone!

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team [HOT] is hosting a 3 day "HOT Summit 
2015" event in Washington D.C. April 30th to May 2nd 2015. It will be a 
chance for volunteer mappers, educators, community builders, 
humanitarians, geographers, programmers and other folks interested in 
humanitarian mapping from around the world come together to share 
knowledge, fellowship and generate new ideas.

http://summit.hotosm.org/

The full program of speakers and break out sessions is yet to be 
finalized and announced, but just as important as the program itself is 
who is going to attend as participants.

HOT's donors and supporters are offering a number of full and partial 
scholarships to help make attendance accessible to as many people as 
possible. These scholarships will cover or help defray costs for travel, 
lodging and attendance fees and are open to anyone who would like to 
come but is not able to due to the costs associated with attending the 
event.

We would like to especially encourage people from outside the United 
States to attend, we want you at the HOT Summit! We are an international 
organization and the diversity of our community is one of our strengths. 
We can not be as effective as we would like without our international 
community members attending events like this. We need you! If costs are 
the only thing stopping you from attending we want to encourage you to 
apply for scholarship funding for part or all of your costs.

Scholarship applications can be submitted here:
http://goo.gl/forms/v9QDwi1sOz

If you have any interest in attending from outside the United States 
please get in touch with us right away. We understand the idea and 
mechanics of traveling can be somewhat challenging, but we are here to 
help and you are not on your own to figure out how to get here for the 
Summit. Whether you would like to apply for scholarship support or not, 
please contact us and let us know you would like to attend.

For international visitors the first step is to learn about the entry 
process for the US.

If you are from any of the 38 countries listed here:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/visit/visa-waiver-program.html 


You will not need to apply for a visa, but instead follow the ESTA 
process. Visitors from any other countries can find out more about the 
visa process here:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english.html
(You probably want a "B" Visa for "visitors")

Any questions? Just ask. Please.

We are really looking forward to seeing you at the HOT Summit!

Cheers,
Blake

PS: Please forward this email to any other OSM email lists or groups you 
think is appropriate, especially local groups. It would be great if you 
could add some words of introduction or comment in the local language or 
translate any part of this email.

Re: [talk-ph] [Typhoon Hagupit/Ruby] Visual tagging guide.

[Robert Banick]

I agree with Andrew. We did one of these tagging guides back in 2012 when
we mapped Gulu, Uganda, and it proved super helpful. It would be great to
have this hosted somewhere as an example of best practices in humanitarian
mapping.

Re: [talk-ph] Mappy Hour Yolanda Anniversary (Nov 7?)

[Robert Banick]

All, I'm really bummed to say I'll miss this, as I'll still be in Tacloban.

Dale and I have created a Missing Maps task for Red Cross work in Leyte, I
hope you all can make a dent in it. Take lots of photos and share back any
presentations from Nick!

Re: [talk-ph] Welcoming new PH mappers

[Robert Banick]

Hi Nick,

You should check out the private data store pioneered by HOT in Indonesia.
That was used to link private household data to OSM polygons. We're looking
to do something similar with American Red Cross data -- still at the
whiteboard stage though.

Cheers,
Robert

Re: [talk-ph] Fwd: [HOT] A new, very good, article about HOT from Fast Company

[Robert Banick]

Hi All,

There's also a nice article about the Missing Maps project out with Fast Co
Design:

http://www.fastcodesign.com/3037423/how-the-missing-maps-project-is-crowdsourcing-data-on-hundreds-of-uncharted-cities

The article makes it sound like we're already up and running, when in fact
we're just getting started. Still, it's a nice summary of our ambitions and
vision. We do not refer to people as ground troops!

Best,

Robert

Re: [talk-ph] Missing Maps Project

Hi Leonard,

Sounds like a good idea. I'm taking this a little slowly because we're also
still socializing with our ARC program team here. I'm in Manila right now
but down to Tacloban on Friday. Perhaps I could be in Manila in early
November and meet folks then? Stay tuned.


Cheers,
Robert

Re: [talk-ph] Missing Maps Project

[Robert Banick]

Hi Eugene*,*

Fantastic! We think that all three phases of Missing Maps would work in the
Philippines, though the exact arrangement would depend on the site(s).
There are a lot of people here in America who would like to contribute via
digitization and we want to be open to that. But the real impressive work
will always happen in the field and in the classroom afterwards when we
digitize. To the extent possible we want to do as much of our work out of
the Philippines as we can.

I'll be back in the Philippines later this month and would be delighted to
speak more with you all about potential opportunities. We're still lining
up funding and hence can't make any promises yet, but we're very hopeful.

Best,
Robert

Re: [talk-ph] Missing Maps Project

[Robert Banick]

Hi Jim *et al*,

I work in GIS for the American Red Cross. We're one of the founding
agencies behind Missing Maps and are working with the Philippines Red Cross
on recovery programs for Typhoon Yolanda. We'd be interested in working
with OSM-PH on Missing Maps collaboations here if there's any interest on
your side. We really like the idea of partnering with local OSM communities
and y'all have really built a good one here.

Any takers?

Best,
Robert Banick

Re: [talk-ph] Guagua mapping progress and tagging evacuation centers

[Robert Banick]

So the idea is that evacuation centers are marked in OSM and additional,
time-sensitive data are linked externally to these features?

Re: [talk-ph] Guagua mapping progress and tagging evacuation centers

[Robert Banick]

HI all,

Just to reiterate Chad's points, finding a way to tag evacuation shelters
would be a huge step for humanitarian uses of GIS. The Red Cross would
definitely use that data and in fact already has plans to contribute such
data on the drawing board.

A few thoughts on the specific tagging schema:

1. Noting which type of disaster the center is meant for would be great.
2. Structural integrity is really based on analysis of other factors that
are already presently included in OSM, like height, construction materials,
etc. Perhaps we need to stick to those and let integrity be assessed
elsewhere?
3. # of evacuees would be huge
4. Length of time is hard to estimate, but perhaps stockpiles of equipment
could be marked? With a simple taxonomy like "high / medium / low / none".

Cheers,
Robert

Re: [talk-ph] Increasing demand for OSM talks and workshops

[Robert Banick]

Hi Maning *et al*,

The American Red Cross would love to partner with OSM-PH on any trainings
we develop and conduct. We've done OSM trainings before elsewhere and have
some materials and approaches that we can pull across to the Philippines.
If anything the Philippines is easier because English fluency is much
higher than many places we go.

We're on the verge of submitting our formal plan to get this done and then
we'll be working out the resourcing, so it could be some months.

One thing we try to do within the Red Cross is connect OSM to projects or
activities that National Societies do on a regular basis. This helps ensure
that the training gets used. We need to talk with the Philippines Red Cross
and identify some high-value use cases that we can plug OSM into. Dale
might be able to contribute more thoughts on that.

Cheers,
Robert

Re: [talk-ph] Private data in Olongapo

[Robert Banick]

This looks like municipal property data, suggesting a point of origin from
a well meaning OSM enthusiast in or connected to the local government.
Seems fixable...
