[HOT] A big thank you to HOT and OSM mappers from the Ministry of Disaster Management Sri Lanka
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. Geoffrey Kateregga: Dr. Amalanathan Ministry of Disaster mgt -Sri Lanka visiting our booth is grateful for @hotosm Floods Activation https://twitter.com/kateregga1/status/735101040081653760 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! https://www.youtube.com/user/hotosm/playlists Regards, Blake Blake Girardot Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team President, HOT Board of Directors skype: jblakegirardot HOT Core Team Contact: i...@hotosm.org ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

Re: [HOT] Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana Address/Street Data
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. 1. projectfloodriskaccra Best, - Enock On Tue, May 24, 2016 at 1:34 PM, Jo wrote: > Another important aspect is keeping that data current and up-to-date.

Re: [HOT] Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana Address/Street Data
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? Polyglot 2016-05-24 15:22 GMT+02:00 Jo : > > If I can have a look at the data, I can look into the technical side.

Re: [HOT] Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana Address/Street 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?

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.

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