Re: [HOT] Customizable OSM editor

2015-07-20 Thread James Conkling
Hi Thomas,

I'd love to checkout what you've whipped up.

Broadly, I'm interested in tools that allow for customizable and easily
deployable HOT/OSM editing environments (ran a project beta test with
OSMLoggingRoads http://loggingroads.org this spring)--a TM management GUI
could be a really interesting innovation.

 Hi,

 Finally the first prototype of the OSM Task Management is finished.
 This should provide the backend to manage the database which provides
 the data for an automatic configurable editor.

 For me it is important that some volunteers, especially but not
 necessary from HOT officials ;), have a look into the GUI and give me
 a feedback (technical, organizational, usability ...).
 My goal is to check if my idea fits into the current workflow, if there
 are things that I missed and so on.

 Since there are still many things that I want to do before i put the
 release officially on git or for download I will provide the link and
 other information to all who are interested in a private mail.

 Kind regards
 Thomas

Re: [HOT] Customizable OSM editor

2015-06-07 Thread James Conkling
Hi Thomas et al,

I've been really interested in the idea of customized editing environments,
which was one of the major ideas behind the OSMLoggingRoads project.

As althio pointed out, iD does expose custom presets and custom imagery in
a really clean, easy way.  It's pretty well documented (here
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/tree/master/data/presets).  You can
also take a look at what we did; most customization is in these lines of
code
https://github.com/jameslaneconkling/iD/blob/master/index.html#L245-L369.
  To see it deployed, navigate to it from our Tasking Manager instance
http://tasks.loggingroads.org/project/4.  We've added custom imagery
layers specific to the project, and new presets (we've kept all existing
presets as well, though you could just as easily limit the presets to the
ones relevant to the project).

To customize iD, you'd have to deploy your own instance.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.  I'd really love to see
more customized/specialized workflows for specific projects/feature sets,
building on top of OSM's broad, generalized approach to editing.

 Hi Stefan,

  I like the idea too and would like also point to JOSM which can be
  configured with specific presets, like the one mentioned currently
  here [1].

 The basic idea not to use JOSM is that as much work as possible should
 be taken from the new users. Like TomNod. Is easy simple and everybody
 without much knowledge can use it.
 And it should be automatically configured by selecting the editor from
 the HOT Taskmanager.
 maybe with an url similar to this
 http://xxx.com?editor=yybbox=zztask=1018
 More experienced or interested users will switch automatically to
 better, more flexible editors like JOSM with all its advantages.

  iD would be even easier to use, but I think its preset can't be
  changed like in JOSM (right, Tom?).

 To be honest even if I have a idea in my back i dont want to invent the
 wheel anew :)
 So if its possible to provide dynamic config files out of a database i
 would be happy. The only an administration interface for the database
 and a script which serves the config to the editor will be needed.

  But before releasing such an editor and HOT preset files, pls.
 
  1. discuss and define common tags needed by HOT and eventually
  specific to HOT, and
  2. help cleanup and update the outdated wiki pages, starting with this
  HOT wiki homepage [1]?
  See also the thread on this list about my Request for information
  about common set of tags for HOT (Was: OSM Nepal Reponse - Links to
  various infos)

 I was allready reading this thred but i had no access to my mailaccounts
 (Yes this still can happen ;)) for the last two weeks :)

 I totally aggree with you that a common set of HOT Tags is definitely a
 prerequisit for a project like this. Without a newbie editor is not
 possible.

 Kind regards Thomas

Re: [HOT] HOT Summit panel / talk proposal

2015-03-23 Thread James Conkling
Hi Pete,

Yes, this exactly something I've been thinking about--specifically along
the lines of remote mapathons where in-person training is not an option and
previous exposure to OSM is limited.  The project's not launched yet
(hopefully we'll be announcing it later this week--will announce here on
the listserv when we do.  The project is mapping logging roads across the
Congo Basin),  I'm counting on having some project observations/feedback by
the end of April to share at the Summit.

I've already submitted a talk for our project, but would of course be
willing to share thoughts before or at the conference.

On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 10:13 AM, Pete Masters pedrito1...@googlemail.com
wrote:

 Hi all,

 I'd like to propose a talk or panel for the HOT Summit on the subject of
 large scale, virtual mapathons.

 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.

 If anyone is interested, please drop me a line.

 Cheers,

 Pete

[HOT] Dev Consultant Job: part time developer/advisor for OSM environmental project

2014-11-19 Thread James Conkling
Hi HOT,

I'm reaching out to ask if anyone is interested in helping out on a project
to microtask the mapping of all logging roads in the Congo Basin.  I
realize this is not traditional disaster response; however, there's a good
amount of overlap with tech needs (microtasked editing tools and whatnot)
and purpose (protecting environmental resources and locally affected
communities).

The project is a joint initiative between CrowdCover and the World
Resources Institute.  The intent is to map and timestamp all logging roads
in the Congo Basin (DRC, CAR, Congo Brazzaville, Cameroon, Gabon, and
Equatorial Guinea), using road data provided by WRI and satellite imagery
mosaics from University of Maryland and others.  If it's successful, it
could provide a detailed profile of logging activity--both legal and
illegal--at a fine granular level.

We prototyped this at an EcoHack last Spring in New York City.  If you're
interested, read our blog post
http://rdc.moabi.org/EcoHacking-DRC-Logging-Roads/en/ about it.

We're hoping to hire someone part time to help with the project, including:

* acting as a go-between with the OSM data working group
* advising on data conflation issues
* deploying and possibly customizing an instance of the tasking manager
* advising on tagging schema
* general advising on management of microtasked OSM projects

If anyone has questions or is interested, please reply or reach out
directly to me at jamesconkl...@crowdcover.org .  Thanks.
