Re: [HOT] Mapping with Kids
Hi Heather and all, Marco from Politecnico di Milano has been organizing similar events with even younger kids (fifth-graders!) and the results were impressive. I'm sure he'd be happy to share his opinions and experience.

[HOT] Mapping Priorities

Hi Rod, Maybe not everyone doing humanitarian mapping response to hurricane Matthew actually knows. And to ensure that, to me it's important that each team communicates about their ongoing efforts based on priorities as identified by responding organizations. We can also set preemptive mapping priorities by analyzing areas with older data and that appear heavily damaged in post-event imagery. Unfortunately that is not an easy job, given the multitude of ongoing tasks and previous mapping using different image or ground sources. That is why I would suggest we clearly and openly (here, Skype, slack, etc) discuss priorities so that we are all aware and coordinate, rather than compete. The catalog tool/index, as you suggested, should be an easy first step to improve coordination. Would you mind drafting your proposal in Github, so that we can keep track and discuss the idea? https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/issues Later we could also think of a complementary tool where we aggregate requests for mapping and priority AOIs, so that it will be easier for other teams to know where each is focusing and based on what requesting organization.

Re: [HOT] Tasking ManagerS (Was: {Re: Map4Haiti} + {[Hot-francophone] Project over Grand'Anse})
Hi Rod,
As you can read from my email to the francophone list, the only reason
for publishing that project is to be able to coordinate with
ProjetEOF. As I mentioned it is set to low priority so it won't show
up at the top of tasks for people to use until we agree on it.
I also appreciate your proposal for a global indexing of OSM tasking
managers, but until that tool is developed, it would be great to
inform each other and discuss areas that may have potential overlap.
That is the reason why I sent my message to the hot-francophone
mailing list, asking for feedback and to discuss the issue around
imagery recency.
Only one task (for a test) was done in HOT's #2252, and two (at the
time of this writing) in ProjetEOF's #64. Please let's focus the
discussion on what needs to be mapped and with what imagery - that to
me is the most important thing to worry about right now.
Thanks for your understanding and please let me know if you have other
ideas for ensuring coordination in the short term.
Thank you,
Cristiano

Re: [HOT] [activation hotosm] Hurricane Matthew response : Imagery/UAV coordination and support to local Haitian UAV capacities
Thanks for the comments, Nicolas. If you don't mind, let's try to stay focused and not digress into polemical arguments, at least during an active response. Happy to sit down later with you, Fred and others to discuss how we can better coordinate in general around imagery. Not sure you understood my point about UAVs, but the recommendation to coordinate with responding organizations (and gov, and CAA?) was purely for safety, regulatory issues, and immediate field needs. I fully agree with you that UAV imagery is no different than satellite's, they're all useful pixels at the end of the day :) Looking forward to Fred's and the Haitian community imagery. Happy to help any way we can... processing, hosting, sharing, mapping, let me know!

[HOT] Fwd: Invitation: OSM Analytics Roadmap Chat
Hey fellow mappers, Some of you already know and have been using OSM Analytics since its launch in April [0], but for those who are not familiar with it, here's the direct link http://osm-analytics.org This was initially a small prototype project, but given the interest and feedback by many in the OSM community, we're now thinking how to scale it and include more functionalities. To start the discussion around a roadmap, we are holding a public community chat this Thursday, August 18th, at 17:00UTC [1] on Gitter: https://gitter.im/hotosm/osm-analytics Everyone is welcome to join - I think we will have some more technical discussions on the infrastructure design, but also less technical ones about feature requests and ideas for new functions. All OSMA code is public here [2]. Would be great to also discuss how to integrate other OSM applications that focus on statistics, quality assurance, user analytics and validation into OSMA and vice-versa. One example is this work [3] by Jennings Anderson, built on a similar processing workflow/stack, that has lots of great insights and visualizations on OSM contributors and data quality. If you are around on Thursday, we'd love you to join and share your ideas. See you then!

[HOT] OSM Analytics - your awesome map stories... visualized!
Dear HOTties, Today we are officially launching OSM Analytics [0], a project built by Martin Raifer [1], HOT and partners, thanks to a grant that we received from the Knight Foundation [2]. Here's a blog post that I just published with more details about the project: https://hotosm.org/updates/2016-04-28_explore_how_the_world_is_mapped_with_osm_analytics Please explore it and start digging into visualizations of OSM data. You can clearly see the impact of HOT activations, both spatially and temporally. There are some great mapping stories that you can tell using OSM Analytics ;-) We will continue to extend this platform further with more data layers and tools. If you are a developer and want to join us, we look forward to your pull requests [3]. If you just like OSM Analytics and want to propose more functions, ideas, or find any bugs, please submit an issue here [4]. Lastly - as some of you may remember - a few weeks ago I asked the HOT community for project name ideas [5]. After reviewing all your creative entries, we decided that OSM Analytics was simple and straight forward... so the fancy HOT coffee mug prize goes to Marc! Happy mapping, and we look forward to many OSM / awesome map stories!

Re: [HOT] Wanna drink your next coffee in a fancy HOT mug?
Thank you for all the great name ideas so far, you have until tonight for more suggestions. As a reminder this is a tool not built just for HOT and the TM, but for the wider OSM community :) In fact, you can enter any admin boundary or placename in the search box and it will return aggregated numbers for just that. Try is at http://hotosm.github.io/osm-dat-frontend just keep in mind that we're still optimizing the geocoder and overpass calls, so it may be a bit slow to zoom to it. So, for names we have: OSM-DAT (OSM Data Analysis Tool) Awesome DAT (a phonetic variation of the above) OSM Analytics (that's the current name in the demo) TM Analytics (tasking manager analytics) TM Dashboard (tasking manager dashboard) T'Mashboard (same as above ...but from Yorkshire!) KnOSM (Know your OSM data) OSMonaut (the OSM data explorer) HEAT (HOT Extent Analysis Tool) OSMologist (the expert about OSM data) OSMetrics (too obvious?) OSMotron (sounds scary, but in ancient greek -tron means tool) Please reply to me quoting your favorite or adding your likes/+1 if you want to participate with choosing the final name. @Pete - I think your heat sensitive appearing-map HOT mug is genius! Why on earth doesn't exist yet?!? What do you think will take to make it?

[HOT] OSM Data Analysis Tool - Opportunity for Web Developers
(with apologies for cross-posting) Hello fellow mappers! HOT was recently awarded a prototype grant by the Knight Foundation to build an OSM Data Quality Analysis Tool [0]. We envision this prototype to help us answering questions about the quality and content of data we create, as well set the foundation for a framework that allows development of future tests/functions. After some initial brainstorming back in December, we identified the technical stack and requirements for building the prototype. The goal is to reuse parts of existing open libraries and APIs where possible, put them together with some javascript magic and build an easy to use Web interface to run the analyses. See more details about the call and scope of work here [1]. If you are interested in the job and have strong Web development skills, please apply! We would love to see someone from the HOT/OSM community building it. Either ways, please help us spread the word and forward the link to anyone who might be interested. Deadline is next Friday, February 5th!

Hey all, Quick update to confirm that we started this project and I will be coordinating it together with Blake. The plan is to have a traditional HOT Tech Challenge published in a week or so and developer(s) hired by the end of January. If anyone is interested to participate in a community design process, we are having the initial meeting this week to discuss goals and requirements to be included in the tech challenge. Proposed dates are Thursday Dec-10 or Friday Dec-11 at 16:00UTC. Please review this draft document and add your name and availability in section 7 if you are interested to participate https://docs.google.com/document/d/12Uq638tPwplQIkK9PMD0nY3q5iWzOrL0PIdAAxXFBIs/edit?usp=sharing I look forward to speaking with some of you later this week.

The way the HOT community responds in waves following a crisis, or a request from an NGO, is incredible. Truly impressive. The Missing Maps project obviously benefits from this capacity and commitment and many of you have contributed to Missing Maps tasks. Missing Maps has had considerable success in bringing new people into HOT via the tasking manager at mapathons. We think that, at the London Missing Mapathons alone, we have had over 500 people attending and contributing and the vast majority of these are new to HOT. At a physical event, we are able to train and support these new mappers in order to try and maintain high quality data. This is great, but we are faced with the problem of scaling this model of participation. In London, we can't find venues big enough to cope with demand (last month, 80 places were booked in less than three hours) and we do not have the capacity within MSF, the British Red Cross and the local HOT community to significantly increase the number of mapathons we host. There are more and more Missing Maps events happening independently of (although supported by) the organisations involved, which is hugely welcome. But, the fact remains that there is appetite for involvement from many more places than there are mapathons. One of the potential ways to feed this appetite (and by extension, expand the capacity of HOT) is to organise regular, large scale remote mapathons, with training, context, tasking and support built in. I would love to explore this possibility with you guys and thought the summit might be a good place to start the conversation. Is anyone up for joining me in presenting this idea for discussion? I am not sure yet whether a panel, a talk or a workshop is the most appropriate and I don't claim to be an expert (although I would love to share our London experiences with you), so it would be great to collaborate on this.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Re: LearnOSM - updates
Hi Nick, Thanks for the updates. Reading the Contributing.md page [1] I noticed there are three options for helping with translations, but I did non find a list of what needs to be translated. Is there a quick way to see what sections need to be translated and have not been claimed by other translators, other than comparing each page with the English version? What if something changes in a page that has already been translated, can we get an visual diff converted to tasks for translators to take care of? I see there are labels in GitHub [2] [3] that may help with the process, we should probably clarify the workflow of claiming/assigning translation issues, so that work is not accidentally duplicated.

[HOT] OAM Pre-Project Sprint
Hello HOTties and OSMers, Sorry for cross-posting. I'm writing to let you know about the Open Aerial Map (OAM) project and inviting anyone who is interested to join us at the kickoff meeting this Thursday, January 22nd, 18:00UTC on IRC [1]. OAM was conceptualized back in 2007 as a global catalog and repository of open aerial imagery. Think of OSM but for imagery data. The idea is to build a system where data can be uploaded in raw georeferenced format and then made accessible through a tile server layer or OGC WMS/WCS. The imagery can be contributed by anyone from an individual drone mapper to a satellite image provider. OAM is then available to HOT, the OSM community and anyone needing it for tracing or analysis. Please join us on the OAM list [2] and looking forward to talking to some of you on Thursday.

It is really exciting to see that this project got eventually funded [2] and I look forward to working with the community to make it happen. Let's start discussing ideas for its development here on this list before reaching out to involve other groups that might be interested as well. The plan is to make the process as open, collaborative and agile as possible, so that anyone who is interested can join and enjoy the final product. I would like to propose a pre-project brainstorming session to collect everyone's ideas and start to identify priority requirements. Anyone interested, please reply to the list and let us know your preference in UTC time for an IRC session this week. As some of you may already know, there have been multiple efforts of creating an OAM in the past. Some notes and code from these previous projects can be found on GitHub [3], [4] and OSGeo [5]. I believe that by 2015, with drones becoming commodity products and aerial imagery being always more available, there is greater motivation to make this project finally happen. The objective is to have a working OAM prototype by mid-year. Considering that some code was already developed during previous implementation attempts and that similar open source projects already exist, every effort should be made to maximize integration of these resources. Looking forward to a fruitful discussion!
