[HOT] A big thank you to HOT and OSM mappers from the Ministry of Disaster Management Sri Lanka

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

Dr. S. Amalanathan, Secretary for Development, Ministry of Disaster
Management Sri Lanka took some time from his schedule while attending
the World Humanitarian Summit to find HOT's booth and stop to say
thank you in person to everyone contributing to this Activation
mapping.

Robert has some actual numbers for buildings mapped, but I do not have
them at the moment. The numbers were very impressive. A lot of people
helped to get a lot of building data generated.

Building data is a very important tool for response work and providing
as much as you did, in as tight a time frame as you did gave the Sri
Lanka DMC another important resource for a clear view on the
situation. That is what they asked you to do and you really stepped up
and helped. Thank you, thank you.

Still more to do of course before we are though. Please check the
Tasking Manager for new projects as we are expecting to do more
detailed mapping with roads for more focused areas (AOIs) from the
DMC. And we still need validators to keep on validating if they can.
They are among the unsung heroes of high quality OSM data.

Anyone new, please feel free to visit our YouTube channel to learn
more about mapping, how to map, and HOTOSM. And welcome aboard!

Hi Kate,

Am here. Right in Tarkwa, 1.5 hours from Takoradi. Good to hear. Just
closed from a workshop in Accra and was talking about how difficult
institutions in Ghana find it giving out data. as part of Project Flood
Risk [1] which used OSM as their base map.

Ready to help with this as usual.

Another important aspect is keeping that data current and up-to-date. Are
they prepared to (learn how to) do that part themselves? Would they
consider to start using OpenStreetMap as the repository of their data?

If I can have a look at the data, I can look into the technical side. Are
they prepared to release the data without restrictions?

Hi All,

I'm talking to an organization that has collected address and street data
for Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana. They are potentially interested in giving
the data to OSM. I'm wondering if there is a volunteer here who would be
able to guide them through the import process both from a community and
technical stand point.

To be clear I don't think they want to do the import themselves, they more
would like to "donate" the data.

Best,

[HOT] Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana Address/Street Data

[Kate Chapman]

Hi All,

I'm talking to an organization that has collected address and street data
for Sekondi-Takoradi in Ghana. They are potentially interested in giving
the data to OSM. I'm wondering if there is a volunteer here who would be
able to guide them through the import process both from a community and
technical stand point.

To be clear I don't think they want to do the import themselves, they more
would like to "donate" the data.

Best,

-Kate
