Re: [HOT] HOT Board and Chair Elections
Hi Joseph, I could not agree more. We as voting members really need to be more involved in the processes and activities of governing our organization. Input, ideas and our membership's priorities need to be expressed or the Board and Kate are left in the dark. If anyone is thinking about running for Board I hope they will speak up soon. Further, if anyone has questions for people running for Board, I hope they will ask them now so candidates have a chance to answer questions. Cheers, blake On 3/4/2015 8:41 PM, Joseph Reeves wrote: Hi all, Blake, thanks for nominating Heather; I was just thinking about this nomination process. All, last year one of the problems we went through with the Board election process was that a last minute proposal was made to radically change the organisation and members didn't, it could well be argued, have enough time to openly discuss the issues and the ramifications. More recently we've admitted more members to the organisation and have, again, arguably done this too quickly and without enough time for debate and discussion. The nomination period closes on March 9th. This is less than a week in the future and there are currently only 2 nominations, both for people who are current Board members. If you're considering running for the Board, please get your name on the list soon. Please also tell us why you should be a Board member; if you've written a manifesto, get it circulated as soon as possible. Please lets go through this process as best we can.

Hi John, I don't see any unmapped buildings. There was one hut that I mapped.

Re: [HOT] project/917#task/61
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It is quite common for paths to be run along the edges of fields or other cleared out areas but don't worry about mapping them if they don't obviously connect up to a wider transportation infrastructure. We don't need to map every little footpath in the country, just the ones that are actually useful for travelling place to place. So if you can see a clear path going to a cluster of fields or something like that then trace it, but if it is just little segments of paths on the edges of a few scattered fields, and you will never be able to connect them back to the main road network then mapping them does not make sense. - -AndrewBuck On 03/04/2015 01:49 PM, john whelan wrote: There appear to be fields with buildings in the middle.

Re: [HOT] project/917#task/61
John, I found two areas with one or two buildings that were not mapped. For the rest, as Blake said, these seem to be just some artifact. But we should understand what are the objectives of such mapping. The international organizations are helping to rebuild the health system and assure better sanitation conditions. With all the health ressources allocated to the Ebola outbreak, a lot of other sickness were not adressed. The objective of the mapping is to help MSF planning their visit in the area, to assure that basic preventions are maintained and support their basic sanitation needs. Villages / hamlets and roads connecting to these settlements are the priority of the mapping. If we miss some more isolated housings, I dont think that this is really a problem.

Hi All, I declined the interview because of the intelligence nature of the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation(USGIF). As a humanitarian focused organization I did not think it was appropriate to be interviewed by them. Each organization has to make their own decisions on the line of what is appropriate, but I felt based on previous statements by volunteers and voting members related to both the US Government, intelligence and the United States in general that we could not respond to this interview request.

Re: [HOT] Great Article in Trajectory Magazine
Ah, ok Kate – didn’t realize that T.M. was part of USGIF and can understand the sensitivity there.

As a humanitarian focused organization I did not think it was appropriate to be interviewed by them. Each organization has to make their own decisions on the line of what is appropriate, but I felt based on previous statements by volunteers and voting members related to both the US Government, intelligence and the United States in general that we could not respond to this interview request. I'm more than happy to work with the communications working group to make these guidelines more clear.

Six months later, I was fully embedded and accepted into HOT, working very closely with Andrew Buck and Pierre Beland to provide the NGO perspective for the Typhoon Haiyan activation.

It is with that same passion that I ask for your nomination to the HOT Board. HOT is still at a pivotal time in its growth. We haven't fully put the events the past few board elections behind us. The old debates of what a 'HOT project' is versus what is HOT, still go on. HOT must grow out of this current adolescent phase if it is to become truly successful and sustainable.

HOT needs to improves its fundraising, administration, and visioning to become a sustainable organization. I know that there has been some resistance to HOT growing as an organization and that there are those members that see HOT the NGO as being different from the HOT community. I understand the resistance but disagree, HOT the NGO and HOT the community should be the same thing for a variety of reasons, most importantly fundraising. In my day-to-day professional life as the GIS lead for the American Red Cross, I am constantly talking, bragging, and honing the work that HOT does. When the American Red Cross asked other organizations to come together to create the Missing Maps http://missingmaps.org/ project, we did so because of how much we like and support HOT. Missing Maps is a huge accomplishment for HOT. It allows HOT to engage with new stakeholders, local communities, and donors to accomplish HOT's work. I've worked hard since joining the non-profit sector to lend my hand at strengthening HOT: founding Missing Maps, building technology to enable our work (Tasking Manager 2, OpenMapKit, OSM-Meta-API), fundraising for various projects, helping host and plan the upcoming HOT Summit, and generally working behind the scenes in the humanitarian sector to lead the adoption and use of OSM by humanitarian organizations. My vision for HOT is a continuation and evolution of its current path. I want HOT to have a solid financial foundation that supports both technology and field projects, HOT helps guide other humanitarian organizations to adopt and use OSM, and the old animosities are replaced with a renewed passion and dedication to help HOT grow. The key areas that I will focus on if elected to the board include: - *Governance*: Build upon the momentum created by existing HOT staff and working groups to manage and maintain the governance structures within HOT. - *Overhaul Board Terms of Reference*: The existing HOT Board is required to oversee the daily management of HOT and does not have enough time to focus on creating and implementing a longer term vision. I will work to empower HOT staff to take a more active part in the daily decision-making process in line with how other NGOs function. - *Partnerships*: It is imperative that HOT build better partnerships *before* disasters. One of the main reasons the American Red Cross uses OpenStreetMap is due to the relationship built prior to, rather than during, a disaster. Pre-established relationships can strengthen the broader applications of HOT to other actors. I will develop and strengthen partnerships with humanitarian relief organizations so that OSM and HOT are embedded into their business operations. -
