[HOT] HOT Microgrants Community Survey

[Geoffrey Kateregga]

Hi everyone,

Under The Audacious Project <https://www.hotosm.org/projects/audacious/>,
HOT’s goal over the next five years is to map an area home to 1 billion
people living in poverty and at high risk of disaster. One of the ways
we’ll do this is by developing a global Community Support Program that
meets the needs of OSM communities around the world. This will build on the
Microgrants Program that HOT has been running since 2017. As part of this
program, we’ll be providing Microgrants and training opportunities to
enable the communities to grow and contribute to our goal.

We need your feedback to help us develop a robust Community Support Program
that meets community needs. To date, we have conducted 6 workshops that
have engaged 84 participants from the HOT Community, and now we are looking
to do a survey. Please help us fill this survey
https://forms.gle/XqMD5Pioq2xnr99m6 before the 23 August.

We are particularly seeking viewpoints from individuals in the 94 priority
countries
<https://www.hotosm.org/updates/four-regions-five-years-94-countries-one-billion-people/>
we plan to work.

Kind regards,

Geoffrey Kateregga

Re: [HOT] Experienced JOSM users - place names task in Peru

[Geoffrey Kateregga]

Thank you @mbranco2 and John for the comments,

Please correct me if I am wrong, my understanding of an import is when you
integrate data into the OSM database coming from a third party.
The data we are adding was generated from already existing OSM data, which
was imported following the import guidelines.

Regards,
Geoffrey

Re: [HOT] fictional buildings in Borno Nigeria

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.

[HOT] Roads mappers needed to support Mapping for Refugees in Uganda

[Geoffrey Kateregga]

Dear members,

The HOT Uganda team is working with local community members and refugees in
districts like Arua, to map villages and facilities to help coordinate the
unexpectedly large refugee response in Northern Uganda
<https://www.hotosm.org/updates/2018-01-24_community_mapping_in_north_uganda_-_intrepid_refugees_and_host_community_compare>.
As part of our work-flow, the surveyors collect gpx tracks as they move
around on motor bikes (bodaboda) collecting data.

We have created a project that needs your help on the Tasking Manager.
https://tasks.hotosm.org/project/4701

The aim is to use the gpx tracks data as well as imagery to clean up and
complete the road network in Arua district.
The project is targeting intermediate and advanced mappers.

If you can spare sometime, your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Geoffrey

[HOT] Strong 6.5-magnitude quake strikes Botswana

[Geoffrey Kateregga]

BOTSWANA has been rocked by what appears to be its strongest ever
earthquake - just hours after South Africa was also struck.
It is unknown whether much damage has been caused by the quake, which
occurred at around 5.40pm local time (6.40pm GMT) at a depth of around
35km.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: Accuracy ( international women's day)

[Geoffrey Kateregga]

Hi Trudy,

Thanks for the work done so far in building an OSM community in Zambia,
I can also share with you my experience in using OSMTracker, GPS units and
field papers from our mapping under "Ramani Huria" in Dar es Salaam.

The accuracy of OSMTracker improves when you have an internet connection
and it can go as high as 3m or less, it is necessary to check the level of
accuracy when picking a way point. What usually helps is when you import
the track and waypoints into JOSM, then you can place the nodes more
accurately by looking at the imagery.

Using Fieldpapers with Bing imagery may not be very helpful in informal
settlements where the houses are very close to each other, locating where
you are on the fieldpaper when in the field maybe challenging. If you can
afford it, acquiring several Garmin etrex 20 or 30 GPS units will prove
useful.

Regards,

Geoffrey.

Re: [HOT] Map is displaying an error

[Geoffrey Kateregga]

Just checked it is the ID editor, displaying this error

Application error

The OpenStreetMap server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented
it from fulfilling the request (HTTP 500)

Feel free to contact  the
OpenStreetMap community if your problem persists. Make a note of the exact
URL / post data of your request.

This may be a problem in our Ruby On Rails code. 500 occurs with exceptions
thrown outside of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code)
The solution is to switch to Potlatch or JOSM for now.
