Re: [HOT] HOT Tasking Manager Instance migration to new hardware tonight

It's still taking twenty three milliseconds for a tile to come up.

Much much better thank you all.

Dear Friends,

This has been completed and everything seems to work well.

If you still get the maintenance page, that should resolve it self
shortly, or you can clear your browser cache for the past day and it
should fix the issue.

Please let us know if you see any issues, a quick email to
sysad...@hotosm.org or the slack channel in my signature below.

Thanks to the HOT Sysadmin folks, David, Ethan, Nate and Pierre Giraud
in getting it migrated!

Cheers,
Blake

Re: [HOT] Study: validation feedback can provide important social affirmation

[john whelan]

A couple of comments, these are sort of related but not so scientific as
Martin's work:

First when you validate JOSM validation catches unclosed ways, (buildings
for example.) crossing ways, ie two highways that cross but don't have a
node so routing software won't know you can change from one to the other
and highways that end near another highway.  Again if there isn't a node
routing software will be unable to make the connection.

I don't think any other software does these checks.

highway=road is a fairly common problem its defined as a temporary highway
type and was used to turn a GPS track into a highway but without any other
information you don't know if its a footpath with steps or a motorway.  If
you're mapping from imagery in Africa I think the African highway wiki
suggests unclassified or tertiary are better than highway=road.  The
problem with highway=road is a number of the routing software programs
ignore them.  This can be problematic if a bridge is so tagged with
unclassified or tertiary either side.

I usually check by a search for highway=road.

Some oddities I've come across, first a tile invalidated for not mapping
buildings when buildings were not part of the instructions.

Second a tile invalidated because some buildings had been mapped
previously, the note was buildings are not required, the tile itself was
fine and everything requested in the instructions had been mapped.

Third a tile validated by someone who had mapped one tile previously, I
added in the six settlements that had been missed.

The fourth was a bit odd.  Projects that have lots of green tiles often
attract more mappers.  I was validating on one tile and brought in a bit of
the next to check a highway connection and noticed an unmapped settlement.
I added it in then looked at the tile.  It had been validated by the
project manager.  I looked over several other tiles that had been validated
by the same person on the same project and on more than half there were
things missing.  I make no comment other than it looked a little odd.

If the tags are rich ie lots of different ones Maperitive has an
export-tags command which outputs a .csv file.  Load it up into a
spreadsheet and look for spelling mistakes in the tags. Most HOT projects
use a very limited set of tags so this isn't of much use but if you want to
check a large town etc it can be useful. Many tags are predefined so
misspelt tags happen more rarely these days.

[HOT] HOT Tasking Manager Instance migration to new hardware tonight

[Blake Girardot HOT/OSM]

Dear Friends,

We are migrating HOT's installation of the HOT Tasking Manager in
about 2 hours (Feb 9, 2017, 23:00 GMT).

The new server is up and running now, we will be switching the DNS
entries in about 2 hours.

You might still visit the previous server while the address change for
the server gets spread around the world.

This should resolve itself in about an hour. You can try clearing your
browser cache or a different browser, but for the most part it will
just take a little time.

If you can not map for a brief time, HOT"s YouTube channel will still
work fine and has some great videos to help learn to map or more about
other humanitarian mapping projects:

https://www.youtube.com/user/hotosm/playlists

And when you are done, I hope you are excited to map and the Tasking
Manager will probably be working better than ever for you.

Please report any problems (which there should be few) here via email,
HOT IRC channel, or HOT Slack channel

Cheers
Blake

Another way if this will be regular thing: make a stylesheet showing the
name on the element at say zoom 20.

[HOT] tasking manager clean up

[Pete Masters]

Hi all,

Just having a bit of a clean up of Missing Maps projects in the tasking
manager and I am coming across loads of projects that are either all
finished (100% validated) or haven't been touched in a long time.

I hope project managers don't mind but I am going to archive the completed
ones I see (they are still accessible to the project managers of course).

If project managers can do a bit of gardening occasionally, it would be
helpful ;)

Cheers,

Pete

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Summit WG Mtg. Friday, 2/10/17

[Zakir Ullah]

Dear Rachel,

Thank you for the update. I am doing my Masters in Civil Engineering for Risk 
Mitigation from Politecnico di Milano and just started my thesis on the 
application of open source projects (i.e HOT) to humanitarian crisis. I wanted 
to know if i can attend tomorrow's summit so as to know about what your team is 
doing and how. Plus i also want to volunteer in some ongoing project. I watched 
some tutorials on JOSM  and tried editing a sample map which means that i 've 
got the basic knowledge of mapping. Let me know if i can be a part of the skype 
group for tomorrow's summit. Thank you. Have a nice day.

Hey all,
Just a quick reminder that we have a Summit Working Group meeting this Friday, 
Feb. 10th, 2017 at 11:00 (AM) EST on Skype.
Following on from our last call, we'll do a final review of the AAR and survey 
results and hopefully start working on some timelines and steps for this year's 
Summit. Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks,
Rachel
