yes I got this point from the Wiki. Its just, when you are doing HOT
mapping, you normally have just a satellite image. So on the ground
photos of streets are helpful to get an impression of the situation on
the ground, but it might also be much more helpful to see examples of
satellite images.

I know, the classification does not only depend from the road condition
that I will see on the image. But it could help for some situations. The
Link to the Bing Satellite picture was very helpful for example.

Re: [HOT] African Roads on Satelite

[Paul Uithol]

Hi,

Let me see if I can find a couple of good examples (combination of 
aerial/ground location) from the region where we're currently running a 
ground survey (eastern Uganda). Not seen anything like the motorway - 
the example looks pretty European.


When in doubt, I usually tell our mappers to use `highway=unclassified` 
if it looks wide enough to allow regular traffic to pass (hopefully 
cars, at the very least motorbikes), and isn't a dead end.


best,
Paul

[HOT] Planet Labs satellite imagery for Crisis Mapping?

[Patrick Meier (iRevolution)]

Dear CrisisMappers, HOT and Digital Humanitarians,

I'm collaborating with Planet Labs  to explore
if/how their imagery might support disaster management efforts. The aim of
Planet Labs is to ultimately image the entire Earth every 24 hours at a
spatial resolution of 5 meters. Some examples of Planet's imagery is available
here . In terms of prior humanitarian
applications, this short video  includes
a segment on Planet's response to the Nepal earthquake. The *New York
Times* also
used Planet's imagery in this recent piece

on
refugee camps in Jordan. Planet makes their imagery available via a
user-friendly API.

I'd be very keen to get your thoughts on where Planet could add significant
and measurable added value to crisis mapping efforts. So I'd be most
grateful if you could email me *off list *(do not reply all so that we
don't flood 3,000+ inboxes) with concrete suggestions on how Planet might
be able to meaningfully support our community. I'm particularly interested
in suggestions that focus on tactical and field-based uses of Planet
imagery for disaster management.

Please note that this initiative is purely exploratory at this stage, so I
want to make sure to manage expectations from the outset. Many thanks for
your kind understanding.

My very best,
Patrick

Re: [HOT] African Roads on Satelite

[Sander Deryckere]

The satellite images also differ a lot from region to region. In dry
regions, there are usually few trees, and you can easily see how wide a
road is. But in regions with lots of trees, the treetops often obscure part
of the road. So you might think from aerial imagery that it's only a
walking path, but in reality, there's a full-width road beneath the
treetops.

So it's hard to make a difference, but you can estimate some things from
guessing what should be reachable by car.

Sander

[HOT] Fwd: Troubles opening Tasking manager in josm and potlatch

[Claudia Mocci]

Hello to all of you
I am Claudia from Italy. I'm having troublesopening all tasks from the
Tasking Manager both  in Josm and Potlatch . The only editor working is ID .

   - Josm: using ubuntu and firefox browser I 'm able to work on the task,
   no way to work on using google chrome browser. Potlatch isn't working at
   all. I 've asked Severin and Nicolas for some help , no working either
   clicking on "* Tip: Download the following .gpx file
    and load it in JOSM in
   order to see the current task boundary" ,* coping and pasting the URL
   link in Josm_file_ open location. I've got a bug error ( screenshot
   attached). Using Windows even Firefox isn't working at all.

I have to animate a online mapping party this afternoon , using the
platform "Go to Webinar " wich is not supported by ubuntu if you are
organisating  the training or conference .So I must use windows. Most of
the students are in Africa or South America with precarious internet
connexion. Id is impossible to use. Even mine isn't running fast due to the
webinar platform.
So I'm blocked . I've asked some friends to try  opening tasks, we all have
the same problems.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Troubles opening Tasking manager in josm and potlatch

[Pierre GIRAUD]

Hi Claudia,

Are you trying to work on a specific project in the tasking manager?
Or do you have the same problems with any task in any project?

How did you start JOSM?
If you are running the "java -jar josm-latest.jar" from the command
line, do you see any error in the terminal that can help us determine
what's wrong?

Regards

[HOT] Uganda Bureau Of Statistics Educational Facilities import has started

[Rafael Avila Coya]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all:

A new manual import through the Tasking Manager is open for
experienced mappers, this time for the import of 24,587 educational
facilities (nurseries, primary and secondary schools, colleges...) all
around Uganda.

As the total number of nodes is very high, it was decided not to add
any contextual data as it was done in previous imports, starting with
the Central African Rep. UNICEF import. We will be able to add
contextual data, like facilities road access, facilities buildings,
settlement names (derived from the facilities addr:* tags), wikidata
tags, etc., after the import is finished, or maybe even during the
import, but with another TM project/s.

Everyone is welcome to contribute, but specially the Uganda OSM community.

You can find the detailed workflow wiki for this import here [1].
***READING AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WIKI IS A MUST***, before you start
importing facilities.

At the beginning of the workflow wiki you have a Quick Reference, so
you don't have to read the whole wiki everytime you need to recall the
import steps.

Keep in mind that changesets that don't follow the rules (negociated
with the Uganda OSM community and the imports list) will have to be
reverted. Specially important is to use a dedicated OSM account (not
the regular account you use for regular mapping), and to add the
specific changeset tags of this import.

You should also read the official import wiki [2], specially for
tagging reference.

Happy mapping!

Rafael.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Troubles opening Tasking manager in josm and potlatch

[Mike Thompson]

I think I am having the same issue.  If you have JOSM running with remote
control enabled, you should be able to click "edit with JOSM" from the
tasking manager and the data should be downloaded in JOSM, right?  I am
running Windows 7 on the machine in question, but my Linux box exhibits the
same issue.  In both cases I am using Chrome.  I think this was working a
couple of months ago when I last tried it. Admittedly I have not done a lot
of troubleshooting yet,  I wanted to check if my understanding of the
intended functionality was correct first.  I am not getting any error
messages.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Troubles opening Tasking manager in josm and potlatch

[Ahasanul Hoque]

I faced the same issue while coordinating a mappathon in last 12-14 January
in Dhaka. Among 16 mappers only 3 person were able to work with JOSM. We
tried all the options,like replicating the same version JOSM and browser of
those 3 persons for the rest, changing the different JOSM versions but if
didnt work. Though the remote control was active but the task wasn't
opening after clicking. Finally we gave up and did the editing using iD.
Still much eager to know the solution. Please share if you get any.

Fyi, we were working on the missingMaps project #1391

Thanks

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Troubles opening Tasking manager in josm and potlatch

[Blake Girardot]

I just did a quick test on ubuntu trusty with firefox and chrome.

It looks like both browsers fail to hand off to josm when using httpS

Chrome did not give an error message, but firefox asks is remote control 
is enabled in josm.


Interestingly the same thing seems to happen on windows 7 too, TM 
doesn't hand off to josm when using https, ff offers the dialog, chrome 
just fails to silently.


Two different versions of josm, both have https support enabled in the 
remote control prefs.


and I also think it used to work fine for me, but I do not remember how 
long ago i tried it.


cheers

I think I am having the same issue.  If you have JOSM running with
remote control enabled, you should be able to click "edit with JOSM"
from the tasking manager and the data should be downloaded in JOSM,
right?  I am running Windows 7 on the machine in question, but my
Linux box exhibits the same issue.  In both cases I am using
Chrome.  I think this was working a couple of months ago when I last
tried it. Admittedly I have not done a lot of troubleshooting yet,
  I wanted to check if my understanding of the intended
functionality was correct first.  I am not getting any error messages.

Hi Claudia,

Are you trying to work on a specific project in the tasking manager?
Or do you have the same problems with any task in any project?

How did you start JOSM?
If you are running the "java -jar josm-latest.jar" from the command
line, do you see any error in the terminal that can help us
determine
what's wrong?

Regards

Re: [HOT] Uganda Bureau Of Statistics Educational Facilities import has started

[Jo]

Hi Rafael,

Great that you got this started. Of course I managed to get the use of
import and not import account mixed up, as JOSM doesn't warn me or give the
option to switch in a convenient way. So the imported node will probably
have to be removed once again and the buildings I added in a second go, are
now uploaded with that silly import account.

Sorry for the rant, what follows should be more interesting:

Anyway, what I'm missing are the isced tags. Also the process seems overly
complicated to me. It's easier to skip the "Edit with JOSM' button and go
straight to the first "here" link. Then download manually.

To find the new buildings, the filter method works, but Ctrl-f

inview new
Then tick the box:: 'add toolbar button'

is a lot more convenient, with a shiny new button on the task bar.

You can also create another button like this with:

inview (school | university | kindergarten)

if you add "-new" to that, you can easily find all the existing ones.

Oh, for people mapping remotely, there is a local community in Kampala.
It's best to leave those schools for them, since they have local knowledge
about them and since it's harder to figure out which buildings belong to
the school for those from aerial imagery alone. I think that's worthy of a
note in the instructions.

Kind regards,

Jo
