Re: [HOT] mapping mines

[Enock Seth Nyamador]

Hi Joost,

This thread looks interacting. Also had issues mapping some legal mining
sites in Ghana recently. Looking forward to working on and seeing a
documentation on this as well.

Best,

Re: [HOT] mapping mines

[Claudios Hakuna]

I am also interested in mining activities in Mozambique for an
environmental health research project looking into the effects of poorly
regulated mining on health.
I think this initiative can be used to generate interesting data to
understand the impact of mining activities in general.

 Hi Joost, Russell, all,



 At Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) we track, collect and
 structure data on mining contracts (resourcecontracts.org) and
 projects (resourceprojects.org). We are also interested in improving
 the public domain access to accurate lat/longs on mines (happy to discuss
 further) and would also be interested in providing input on OSM tagging if
 useful.



 In the meantime one relatively rich public domain dataset on mine
 locations in Africa is this from the World Bank:
 https://energydata.info/dataset/africa-powermining-projects-database



 Best,
 Anders

 Sorry for that lack of clarity! They are working on the impacts of
 industrial scale (usually foreign owned) resource mining on local
 communities.

 The basic tagging is there, but tags like tailings (apparently that's a
 word especially meant for mine waste) are undocumented and we had a hard
 time finding a proper tag for end of cycle operations (we used a lifecycle
 prefix for now, but that doesn't seem entirely fitting)

 Hi Joost,



 Do you mean mines, like landmines, or mining for gold kind of mine?  I
 know CartONG where doing de-mining (landmine kind) Mapswipe projects if
 that’s the kind you’re talking.  Don’t know of anyone mapping mining
 operations for resources kind of mining.

 Hi,



 I was just in contact with an organisation that might be interested in
 mapping mines in the South in OSM, particularly in conflict areas. Are
 there any exisiting efforts I should be aware of?

 We were a bit frustrated by the lack of depth of the (documented)
 tagging, it would be interesting to get some experts on the subject to look
 at how we can improve this.

[HOT] OpenStreetMap Somali translation

[Nicholas Doiron]

Hi everyone,

Last year, I started working with translators to support more languages in
OpenStreetMap. This year, I'm interested in expanding that project to the
Somali language.  You can see the first mock-up of this project on
https://georeactor.github.io/osm-global/somali/about.html

There are two tasks where Somali volunteers can help: translation and
approval. The professional translator's work won't show up on the official
website or iD editor until a second person checks it, so we can use even a
few minutes of volunteer time to check their work looks right.

Please let me know if you are interested in a map-athon, translate-athon,
or some other collaboration on Somalia + Somaliland!  I can get you set up
on TranslateWiki and Transifex.

Regards,
Nick Doiron
