Hi All,

just FYI: we figured out that mentors do not need to register on the
platform, but we have to invite them. So mentors, please let us know the
email that you will be using (I think it must be a google account).

Regards

[Margherita Di Leo]

Hello Tom!

Thank you for mentoring this year! Remember that we need two mentors for
each idea and one can be a primary mentor only for one idea..
Regarding the google platform: on top right there is a "log in" button, you
should use your gmail account. At a certain stage, I or the other admins
should "invite" your gmail account to be part of the OSGeo organization on
the platform. In order to do that, let us know which email account you are
using. If you want to try right now I can make the trial with you (you're
the first mentor). We can talk on #osgeo-gsoc at freenode

Hi Margherita: thanks for the update -- this is great news!

Given pycsw is part of this year's OSGeo offering I'd like to sign up as a
mentor.  I've done so at [1], however I cannot see how to register as a mentor
on [2].  Is there a specific area I should be looking at/for?

Cheers

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [GeoForAll-Africa] Lagos Mapping Party 2017

[Suchith Anand]

Ayo,


Thank you for sharing the updates and great to see the community build up .  
Great to see the community links of OSM and  OSGeo expanding rapidly both 
locally and globally. OSM is now truly the Global Mapping Agency and OSGeo is 
the world's largest geospatial ecosystem.  What a great combination of 
synergies. Both just over a decade  old and have fundamentally changed the 
whole geolandscape. And this is just the start :-)


Peter, Vyron and me are working on a paper on this and this is good example to 
highlight. I am sharing this with wider OSGeo community so we keep expanding 
synergies.


Best wishes,


Suchith

Subject: [GeoForAll-Africa] Lagos Mapping Party 2017

Hello,

Thanks for all that attended our Lagos Mapping party !!! We are finally a 
community !!!

Our Lagos mapping party was attended by 14 people.
People from University of Lagos, Lagos State Government (Science and technology 
Ministry), codefordevelopment.org, utility 
companies and IT startups.


One of our sponsors and partners (http://www.moriwo.com ) had sent a streetview 
camera to capture Epe and we plan to use the panorama data to update 
openstreetmap.

MoRiWo data had identified the OSM data had streets that no longer existed and 
also captured new streets.
>From the streetview data, we also could identify street names.

The edits are being processed in JOSM so will be uploaded sometime during the 
week.

At the mapping party, some of the participants had actually been contributing 
to OSM but had stopped due to non availability of a local support community to 
ask questions and also seek assistance.

The theme of the party changed to a community building discussion whereby 
issues were deliberated and solutions provided.

We established the foundations of a Lagos community (not just OSM, but for all 
Osgeo platforms/products).

The attendance is expected to grow at the next meeting in March (which we all 
agreed will hold monthly).

I am working on the photos and videos of the event and will be uploading these 
to a blog during this week and will also share the links.

Our Abuja mapping party may be impacted by the airport that is scheduled to be 
shut down this week for repairs. We are still trying to confirm.

The Ibadan mapping party scheduled for the 11th March will still go ahead, 
since the energy and feedback from Lagos was very vibrant.

Thanks once more for all those that could make it.

Regards


Ayo Akinseye
