Re: [HOT] Roads, driving & Wiki | Re: Thank you from MSF!

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all,
We are doing already our best in collecting data directly in OSM and
feeding back data into OSM. Not only remote mapping is part of Missing
Maps! ;)
But indeed, not all points that are in our MSF database are currently in
OSM.
However, we would like to move from an ad hoc way of working to making this
as our standard. So we started working on this! It contains work around
governance and data sharing, and technical knowledge. On that latest front
we are currently having questions like: how do we make our own database
interact with OSM? And OSM with our own internal database? How do we create
a full feedback loop?
So if there are people having practical experience with doing this within
their own organisation/company/?  I would be great to have a chat with
you! If you would have insights for us, please email me on my msf email
adress in cc here.
Thanks a lot!
Jorieke

Re: [HOT] fictional buildings in Borno Nigeria

[Victor Sunday]

Dear All,
Thanks for that,we do not have the mapper in Nigeria. From the hash..the
mapper is identified to FSU GeoMentors YouthMappers Chapter.
And we do not have such local community in Nigeria.
I am sure, we can track through Youthmappers mail list and the director of
Youthmappers:Assoc.Prof Patricia Solis.

We are already dealing with the one recently identified by WiseMan linked
to a mapper in Nigeria.

Let's do well to track and stop this enthusiastic mapper too,till he/she
gets proper training.
Thanks
Victor

Re: [HOT] fictional buildings in Borno Nigeria

[Chad Blevins via HOT]

Hi Maning,

Thanks for pointing out these edits.  I have also noticed strange edits
taking place in Nigeria and am working to address them.  These particular
edits have added "#USAID", "#YouthMappers", and "#FSUGeoMentors" in the
change comments, but they are not in the original project change comments.
I can confidently say this IS NOT a USAID project and I am unaware of a
FSUGeoMentors YouthMappers chapter.

I'll let you know what I'm able to find out.

Thanks,
Chad

Hi Maning,

Thanks for catching this, these are really very weird looking buildings.

I am reaching out to OSM Nigeria to talk to the mapper if they know the
person.

Regards,
Geoffrey

[HOT] fictional buildings in Borno Nigeria

[maning sambale]

Hi,

I noticed weird looking buildings over here:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/69186137#map=15/12.3533/13.1434

The changeset mentioned #hotosm-project-5700
Perhaps project creators can help this new mapper?
