Re: [HOT] The number of projects we have open and the completion rate.
John and all, This is probably more of a human resource issue than technical, although technical improvements can make it easier on us. I think it comes down to the coordinators, unfortunately no matter how much we improve things like the Tasking Manager, we will still need dedicated coordinators to keep up the interest and make clear asks to the community. In the cases where we do have people ‘championing’ projects, they typically are more thoroughly completed (and validated). I would also suggest that those interested in this topic to jump in on the next Activation Working Group meeting, we still have work to do to help define and guide a mapping project/activation from start to finish. Thanks for pushing us to do better, I’m sure we can; =Russ Russell Deffner mailto:russell.deff...@hotosm.org russell.deff...@hotosm.org Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) http://hot.openstreetmap.org/ http://hot.openstreetmap.org/ From: Daniel O'Connor [mailto:daniel.ocon...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2015 5:43 PM To: john whelan Cc: hot@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [HOT] The number of projects we have open and the completion rate.

Looking at the stats it might say that the village is 50% done, reality is probably 15-25% of the objects to be mapped are done, those centre tiles are dense with buildings.

[HOT] Activation Working Group meeting
Hi, Just a reminder the Activation Working Group meeting will happen tomorrow at 14 UTC, as we will be the 2nd Tuesday of the month, on the #hot IRC channel on OFTC. Click here http://irc.openstreetmap.org/ if you do not have an IRC client, put an nickname and select the #hot channel at the very bottom of the list before logging. If you do not know what IRC is, it is basically an open platform for texting online in thematic rooms). *Unfortunately, I will not be able to be online tomorrow at that time myself. * For those who think Working Group are Only for top experienced people, get away from there, newcomers!: *you are wrong*. *It is for everybody and I would say especially for newcomers. Because we need more and more people involved in the activations, not only on mapping tasks.* Monitoring humanitarian documentation (to identify crisis we could help + prioritizing mapping in current activations when not specifically requested by humanitarian organizations), update the wikis, participate to specific mapping workflows and imports, validation, contacts with other mappers, etc. If you get bored by only tracing building, there are many ways to contribute in other ways. Providing feedback, suggesting is what any newcomer can do, and it is almost always very useful because it can either provide new good ideas or simply pointing out some things should be explained/described better for people contributing more easily and better.

Re: [HOT] Mapping in Dhaka, Bangladesh!
Hi John,
I found the TMS url in iD (Background tab, click on the custom entry)
and then added it to JOSM imagery preferences.
This is the url:
http://hiu-maps.net/hot/1.0.0/dhaka-23oct2014-flipped/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
However, it is odd that it doesn't load automatically in JOSM like it
does in iD.
Cheers,
Blake

Re: [HOT] Mapping in Dhaka, Bangladesh!
Oh, I see it is listed in the instructions as well, sorry about that.
To use it in JOSM:
0. Copy the imagery URL from iD or from the directions on the task
http://hiu-maps.net/hot/1.0.0/dhaka-23oct2014-flipped/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
1. In JOSM go to Imagery Menu - Imagery Preferences
2. Click on the +TMS button on the right of the bottom list of imagery
sources
3. Paste the URL into the first field, it should auto fill in the 3rd
field as well.
4. Leave the 2nd field blank
5. Give it a name in the 4th field
6. Click ok on the +TMS dialog, click ok on the Imagery Preferences
Then it will appear with the name you gave it in the JOSM Imagery Menu
Cheers,
Blake
