[HOT] Translating FieldPapers in now possible
Hi, The website allows now a multilanguage support. Currently French and Japanese have been already requested, but I guess many other languages would be good to be added. You can request extra languages here: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/fieldpapers/ Sincerely, Severin ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
Re: [HOT] Translating FieldPapers in now possible
Hi Severin, There is ongoing work to improve Field Papers, a major part of this is to make it possible to translate it. I would suggest waiting until that is finished before beginning translation. Unless I missed an announcement somewhere looking for translators.

Hi Severin, Okay, than I guess they are looking for translators. I wasn't aware we were at that stage yet. :) -Kate On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 9:59 AM, Severin Menard severin.men...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Kate, I have been alerted by this GitHub ticket: https://github.com/fieldpapers/fieldpapers/issues/4 Is it a different multi languages platform project?

[HOT] Geotagged pictures (was Malawi Floods)
Hi Kretzer, I created this Flickr group with geotagged photos: https://www.flickr.com/groups/2830215@N22/ If you click on the Map tab you can see them as markers over the imagery, unfortunately you cannot zoom close Here is a uMap using the georss from the Flickr group: you can zoom, but no imagery: http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/malawi-georss_30661 Does someone have a better tip? Unfortunately, it seems you cannot use georss in JOSM, would be the easiest way for contributors. Maybe someone would be interested for GSoC or another hackathon?

Will the mapping be evaluated by the local volunteers? I guess there is some cleaning needed, and a lot of decisions can't really be made from the aerial imagery. Like the classification of the roads, I would say it is easier to classify the roads from the imagery because you can figure out more easily the respective hierarchy between them. Eg it seems there are more unclassified and tertiary roads than eg in CAR where you have the main roads and mostly just tracks for example, or often you can't tell if something is really a building, or if its used for living (more so, where the imagery is not so clear). I also need to make a pic album for everyone to understand better what is what (starting now), but mapping all the buildings, even the smaller ones, make sense. Basically the households have generally two houses : the main one (that can have a metallic roof or not and can be rectangular or squared) is the residential one; the smaller one close to it is the most often the kitchen or can be a shelter for pigs or other small animals. Dark brown are corals for cattle, closed by a fence. Toilets are a small building too, generally a bit distant from the house. the Shower has not roof, it is a kind of snail shape (no door but you can - obviously cannot see the inner from outside) in light material, but you cannot see it on the imagery unless there are shades I quite unsure how to handle the buildings that were tagged as nodes. Sometimes I could see to which buildings they belonged I included the node in the building outline, so that the tag information wasn't lost (I hope this the correct way of doing this ...). Often this is impossible, though, as there are lots of small buildings, often blurred, and lots of nodes. But if the outlines are added, many buildings would be counted twice. So is it best to do nothing where the survey was done on the ground and only ad buildings outside the tagged areas? This is the first time I have done this, so maybe I'm overly confused ... No it is confusing, because we had no imagery in some areas when we started so we mapped buildings as nodes. If you can replace the geometry node - polygon with iD (it is unfortunately not possible with the JOSM utilsplugin2), go for it when it is obvious. Buildings remained nodes even with the imagery for the smallest buildings (and buildings can be small in Malawi) Also it would be very useful to see the date when the images were taken, so we could tell e.g. which is the newer iamge, where more than one is available. Is that technically possible? (the BING images say (C)2015, but I'm not sure that means the photos were actually taken in in 2015). in JOSM, you can right click and click on Show tile info. In Lower Shire Bing imagery is generally from August 2011. Where are you mapping? Close to the lake or there? Hi, With the Help of Charlotte, Cristiano and Blake, I published on the HOT website this blog post presenting an overview of both the disaster and the OSM mapping to support the response with pictures provided by the HOT interns in Malawi There are two ongoing Tasking Manager jobs, one almost done and the other one just starting.

[HOT] Gentle grump
Just for the heck of it I ran JOSM validation on a tile I was mapping before touching it. It turned up duplicate buildings, crossed buildings, lots of highways separated by a few inches etc. Do we need an idiot guide? A sort of this is how to provide the maximum benefit for the least effort. Mine would probably run along the lines of for Africa the convention is only the following values of highways are used for minor highways: path, track, unclassified, use highway=road if you are uncertain. Someone will probably have tagged the secondary and primary highways. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dsecondary If possible use JOSM especially for buildings. Please map buildings as building=yes do not assume it is a house. People use maps to get from one place to another, if the highways are joined up then routing software such as comes as part of OSMAND can be used. Look for highways around settlements that connect to other settlements. Crtlarrow in JOSM will navigate vertically or horizontally making scanning easier. I assume that most of these errors have crept in because JOSM validation was not used. I suspect that the immediate feedback from JOSM might assist our less skilled mappers to improve their skills.

[HOT] [FieldPapers] Development Update
Hello Hotties, Following up from the e-mail sent out earlier by Severin, we just wanted to let everyone know that the Stamen team are working hard to enhance the Field Papers application [1] and have made great head way with its internationalisation [2]. It is now in a state where people can start translating the site [3][4]. You can request extra languages here and make a huge contribution [5], so please check it out. You can also follow the Field Papers blog [6] to keep up to date with all their current developments.

[HOT] Updates on GSoC and Outreachy
Hello, Google announced the list of organizations accepted in this year GSoC, but unfortunately HOT did not make it. We have such a big and awesome community of mappers, but we may need more active coding in our projects to have better chances in these programs. We are still very excited to see that OSM was accepted and have discussed listing some of our ideas under their application. I personally support the idea of developing a portable OSM ToolKit [1] which can be used for training, demos and field work. I'm recruiting a couple or mentors and then add the project to the list here [2]. If you have any other project that you care about and would like to submit an idea, please let me know. We are also really happy to participate in the Outreachy program again [3]. Student applications can be submitted starting today, Mhairi will follow up with additional information and guidelines.

Re: [HOT] Updates on GSoC and Outreachy
Hello Hotties, The participating organisations have now been announced on the Outreachy website [1]. We are happy to say that OSM and HOT have joined forces again, and are listed as OpenStreetMap. Please take a look at the list of finalised projects on our Outreachy landing page in GitHub [2], where there are also project ideas from OpenAerialMap (OAM) and soon to be added, from the American Red Cross involving OpenMapKit. Applications for students officially opened on March 3rd and will run until March 24th. Participants are strongly urged to get in touch and make a contribution to at least one project. Please feel free to send me an e-mail (mhairi.oh...@hotosm.org) directly with any queries or interest regarding any of the listed projects and I will put you in touch with the designated mentor. For more details regarding the application process, please refer to the Outreachy website [3] and do not hesitate to ask any questions using the outreachy mailing list (outreachy-l...@gnome.org). This is a private list and your inquires will only be visible to coordinators and mentors of the program. Please start the subject line of your e-mail to this list with [INQUIRY]. Accepted candidates will be announced April 27th and the internship period runs from May 25th to August 25th. Kind regards, Mhairi [1] https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy/2015/MayAugust#Participating_Organizations [2] https://github.com/hotosm/HOT-Project-Ideas/wiki/Outreachy-2015 [3] https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy#Application_Process On Wed, Mar 4, 2015 at 8:23 AM, Cristiano Giovando cristiano.giova...@hotosm.org wrote: Hello, Google announced the list of organizations accepted in this year GSoC, but unfortunately HOT did not make it.
