Re: [HOT] [Talk-in] Fw: [CrisisMappers] 25 killed; 24,000 stranded as rain wreaks havoc in Uttarakhand, India
Hi all, Just wanted to mention FYI that I found a newly-mapped area in Haridwar with entirely disconnected roads. Fixed it (and also contacted the author), but anyone who's validating (or teaching?) might want to be aware.

[HOT] Use cases, documentation and methodology around the use of OSM and GIS in Forestry
Hey all- I'd be interested into hearing about uses of OSM and similar technologies tied to GIS in Forestry; Thanks in advance for any references Excellent day to all, Best, Nicolas -- -- Nicolas Chavent Acting Project Director Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team http://hot.openstreetmap.org/ Mobile (FRA): +33 (0)6 52 40 78 20 Email: nicolas.chav...@hotosm.org Skype: c_nicolas Twitter: nicolas_chavent ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
Re: [HOT] Use cases, documentation and methodology around the use of OSM and GIS in Forestry
It is not an example of a use case per se, but last summer I spoke to several of the GIS and similar departments in my city regarding OSM. Among the people I spoke with was one from the city forestry department (which looks after trees along roads) and one person from the parks department (which looks after trees in parks). Each department had their own database of trees and from what I could tell they didn't share the data between them (which seems like an obvious problem to me). I tried to show them the benefits of putting both databases into OSM and using that as a common sharing platform to study disease propagation among trees and whatnot. Our city is currently under threat from an invasive species (the emerald ash borer) and having the data split like that risks missing "danger areas" where the ash tree density is high but half are park trees and half are street trees. Finally, they didn't have data for trees in people's yards and on other private property unless they were trees along the street that the city maintained, so their database was pretty incomplete in that regard as well. I did learn an awful lot from them about what kind of data they collect on the trees and it blew my mind. They must have 50 columns in their shapefile for all the properties they collect about the trees they maintain (i.e. 50 tags per tree if we had the data in OSM), and they had this data on something like 60,000 trees! All in all they have amazing data and showed some interest in the idea of a unified database but I think it would take some more work to finally put them over the edge. Anyway, hope this info is useful to you, even if it is not exactly what you are looking for. -AndrewBuck ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
Re: [HOT] Use cases, documentation and methodology around the use of OSM and GIS in Forestry
Hello Nicolas, Once our wildfire season (in Colorado, U.S.) slows down, I will be writing up a 'case-study'/whitepaper on the response to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Colorado_Wildfire_Season - I will make sure to forward any documents, etc. directly to you. Just FYI, this was my field of study in college: Forestry, concentrated in Forest Fire Science with a minor in Spatial Information Management Systems, so I have lots of ideas how OSM could be used in these fields, but I'm still working on locking down a user/use-case study. I have reached out to the U.S. Forest Service and (U.S.) National Wildfire Coordination Group regarding the above and have had some initial feedback that my information would be forwarded to the incident commander for the East Fork Fire. I assume that as IC, that person is probably too busy to reach out while firefighting; I hope as things slow-down that I will get a chance to make the case for OSM and/or HOT for future firefights. I also wonder if you shouldn't expand your inquiry to all Natural Resource fields; i.e. rangeland, wildlife, ecosystems, watersheds, etc. You may get a broader response, and at least in the U.S. these things are typically done separately/by different organizations.

Hi Russ, Thanks for your elements, I look forward to your whitepaper or any format you will find appropriate to wrap up your thoughts from this last and important deployment. I think that your proposal of extensions to other related fields of study and practices make sense and can help out pulling out more thoughtful mapping documents around mapping rural areas in Developed Countries (DCs) and Least Developped Countries (LDCs) which is where my request is based. Excellent day.

[HOT] HOT Tech Meetup
Hey We're gathering together on Monday on #hot IRC to chat tech things at 17:00 UTC (same time as OSM Engineering Working group). Only agenda is to share what we're working on and interested in. There's lots of tech work going on, and it would be useful and fun to be more coordinated. There's been some recent new faces managing the HOT website, hope you guys can make it. Lots of tools built for Cap Haitian project. And interest to help more ideas take off the ground. Will be nice to see you there on Monday!
