[HOT] MSF scientific days

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all,

Next week it are again our MSF scientific days. As always free and open the
join for everyone, and this year as well fully online.

For you mappers, I would say keep a close eye on day 1, session 1 & day 2,
session 4! You contributed with your mapping to the HAT study in DRC, the
survivors of sexual violence study in Haiti, and you'll see as well how
your work was used in a malaria spraying campaign in Burundi.

So I would say, subscribe now and join us next week!

All the best,
Jorieke

Re: [HOT] Mali - Accessing and using data from the Malian Geographic Institute

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi Vincent,

I was in Mali in 2015-2016 and did see this great data collection
happening. The IGM (Institut Geographique du Mali)  was behind this effort,
indeed sponsored by the EU and France I think. The data is indeed owned by
the IGM, I thought the plan was also to sell this data. It was certainly
not available for usage on OSM. :)

The absurdity of the situation was also that several members of the OSM
community in Mali (Makan, Doubassin, Karim, etc.) were working as surveyors
for the IGM to collect all this data, but couldn't edit this on OSM for
their own usage. Those folks were basically doing in their free time the
same again to add data on OSM. Besides this, some of the staff of the IGM
were really supportive to the OSM Mali community and gave them access to
their spaces to come and map on OSM.

So I would say, best to get in touch with the OSM Mali community if you are
not already. Enock has just given you some core members' contacts.

Best wishes,

Jorieke

Re: [HOT] COVID-19 - How you can help

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Yes, local knowledge on the ground is the best source for this!
Imports can be useful as well, but it is really important to check the
quality of data, because wrong information might do more harm than good. We
had to fix for example an import of villages that was done in Nigeria a few
years ago to make it really useful for our MSF teams on the ground. So just
be sure to follow the import guidelines and collaborate with local OSM
communities if you would like to do that.
 Best, Jorieke

  Interesting!
So is this an issue that can be fixed by the Humanitarian layer OSM France
team? Or is it just a matter of updating OSM and waiting for the

Re: [HOT] COVID-19 - How you can help

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all,

Just sharing from the point of view of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).  Our
teams have not requested any mapping data yet, but just letting you know
that the data that is most useful for medical interventions (Covid-19 but
also for most other health interventions) are information about where
health facilities are and place names. Locations and names of health
facilities is fairly obvious, but also place names are very important!
Names of villages, of neighbourhoods in your towns, but also the boundaries
of these, do allow epidemiologists and other health professionals to do
contact tracing and the mapping of cases. So any health facility or place
name/boundary that you add on the map is useful!

Best wishes,

Jorieke

[HOT] Asking your help to map in Honduras, Chad and Burundi for MSF

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all,

Calling for your help once more, our MSF teams could use all your support
on the remote mapping tasks in Honduras, Chad and Burundi.

In Honduras we have currently Fabian, our GIS officer, in the country to
support the MSF team in the outbreak of Dengue feaver.
For tasks:
https://tasks.hotosm.org/contribute?difficulty=ALL=DengueFeverHonduras

In Chad we are supporting Epicentre with a population count thanks to all
mapping your do. Thanks to the buildings that you are mapping they will be
able to make a proper population count to adapt our actions to.
For tasks:
https://tasks.hotosm.org/contribute?difficulty=ALL=MoissalaChad

In Burundi we are organising a spraying campaign the upcoming weeks and
months to tackle the Malaria mosquito. Every building that you map, will be
sprayed!For tasks:
https://tasks.hotosm.org/contribute?difficulty=ALL=IRScampaignRuyigi


All are just building mapping tasks that are fairly easy to map and
validate! All your contributions are very much appreciated!

Thanks a lot,

Jorieke

[HOT] #ValidationFriday mappy hour!

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all,

Tomorrow it is Friday again!

And since Matt revived #ValidationFriday, we tought it would be nice to
just hang out for an hour all together to do some validation on the same
tasks to make them advance really fast!

We've discussed this idea with a few people on the HOT slack and decided to
hang out on the HOT mumble 
between 15UTC and 16 UTC!

Come and join us!

Cheers,

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

[HOT] Thank you from MSF!

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all here,

I just wanted to send you a huge thank you from MSF for all the mapping and
supporting that you have been doing and are still doing related to the Idai
cyclone!

The picture HOT just shared on twitter -
https://twitter.com/hotosm/status/1113921286835666954 - is a picture from
Fabien and Camille our two MSF GIS specialists in Beira. They are
supporting the MSF teams at this point mainly with creating reference maps,
coordination maps and disease outbreak maps. See two of our public maps
made with OSM data I can share with you:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Xbti06zEDf9dsMK4ObLnu8CCQZG5_uEb?usp=sharing

Thanks a million, and keep mapping!

Best wishes,

Re: [HOT] Tracking vehicle movements

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all,

@Ivan that sounds interesting! Could you tell me more?
The other suggestions are forwarded, thank you again. Last is looking at
them and will feedback soon!
He was already impressed what you collected: "Wow... thanks @Jorieke! Let
me look into the feedback" was his reaction this morning.

And to Donal his points: I'm not sure about the context in Zimbabwe, but
from my point of view using a GPS tracking system is indeed on the one hand
a system that serves as control mechanism for drivers, but on the other
hand it also serves as planning and budgeting tool, and most importantly
also for security purposes for our people in the car. This latest makes it
also difficult to just share the GPS traces that our teams take. It is a
way the security of our staff can be damaged, so not so straightforward.

All the best,

Jorieke

Thanks a lot for all your suggestions!
I suppose easy to use is core, so options with manually copying traces is
probably not the best solution.
However I will forward all your suggestions to Last, and will leave it up
to him to decide what is the best option for them on the ground!

If there are more ideas, they still welcome :)

[HOT] Tracking vehicle movements

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hello all,

Forwarding you a question from Last, our MSF GIS officer in Zimbabwe:

"I wanted to find out if there is an easy app that we can use to track
movement of vehicles throughout an area. We are working with a partner whom
we provide fuel, so we would like to verify the allocations we give them as
well as have an accurate budget. Currently for our cars we have a tracking
app installed on the vehicles which is paid for but it is costly so it
won't be sustainable to implement for this other partner. So possibly what
I'm looking for is something which the driver can log when he/she commences
his trip and ends it which can be shared with us either in real-time or
near-real time."

Somebody has ideas for him?

Best regards,

Jorieke

[HOT] Mapping help needed!

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hey everyone,

We need your help here at MSF... Our team in Moisalla in the south of Chad
is starting a community survey as from tomorrow. The area is mostly been
mapped, but not completely validated yet.

Are there any experienced mappers around here who could help us with
finishing and validating the two tasks? The team will need the data as from
tomorrow, so it would be amazing if we could get the two tasks mapped and
validated by then...

It are tasks 5362 and 5366 -
https://tasks.hotosm.org/contribute?difficulty=ALL=B%C3%A9boro

Thanks a million!

[HOT] HDM preset

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all,

I need some help. I was looking to re-install the HDM preset in JOSM, but I
couldn't find it.
Could somebody help me to install it?

Besides I was wondering also; did it disappear on purpose?
Because, after clicking around a bit I found the wiki and github page, and
it looks it is not updated since a few years anymore...
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/HDM_preset

Are others still using the preset? Do you think it is worth to
rework/update it? I personally used him a lot! It makes the correct tagging
of things so much easier...

Best greetings,

Jorieke

[HOT] #Map4Ebola - New task

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi mappers,

So happy to see the progress of the mapping, especially in the validation!
Thank you very much, and keep going I'd say :-)

For this, I'm here with a new task of one of the priority areas!
Here he is: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/3085
Don't hesitate to split the squares if they are to big.

Where in task 2988 we couldn't yet map this particular area, we now
received imagery from Digital Globe. Thanks a lot!

Happy mapping everyone :)

Re: [HOT] #Map4Ebola DRC OpenStreetMap Response to 2017 Ebola outbreak : 25-May 2017 priority mapping work

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all!

Claire is for a few days in the forests of DRC, so asked me for some help.

Only a few hours were needed to complete task 3076... you're heroes!
However validation is still needed on the task: http://tasks.hotosm.org/
project/3076

I just also created a brand new building task!
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/3079

Please keep on mapping!
And also, please keep on validating!

For an overview; have a look on the wiki
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Congo-Kinshasa/2017_Ebola_Outbreak_OSM_Response#Mapping_Priority

Happy mapping!

[HOT] News from Jorieke!

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Dear HOT community,


It’s with lots of pleasure I’m sharing with you that I started to work two
days ago as Missing Maps coordinator for MSF! The first two days, and the
excellent pre-start I had with the MSF scientific days
 are
promising… Isn’t this one of the most awesome jobs in the world?! J


However it has one downside, I had to resign from the HOT board due to the
conflict of interest the new job brings. The HOT membership is soon going
to vote for a new board member to fill in my spot.


With this I’m closing an intense two year period as board member for HOT.
Experiences and learnings for life I’d say! Thanks for all your support in
those not always easy two years. I strongly believe we have an excellent
new board team this year, ready to build, discuss and improve HOT as from
where it stands today!


And… in an attempt to fulfill my last board duties, I hereby share with you
the last meeting minutes I took. I leave the task of secretary with
pleasure to Melanie!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B65TOMtm9My4U3d4WXFjdVVIS1U/view


As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, on whatever you feel
like, HOT, MSF, Missing Maps, or just to have a tea together somewhere in
London!  J


All my best greetings,

Re: [HOT] OpenStreetMap data, good and bad

Just some small advise: if you pass around an osm USB stick, put not only
software on it, but make sure there are also some training guides on it
that people easily can copy-past. Eg.

The main topics we discussed:
HOT's finances are now in the save hands of a bookkeeping firm specialized
in not for profit organizations;
Tyler brought us the good news of the start of two new projects (a mapping
project in Buthan in collaboration with Kathmandu Living Labs and the
technical project Pacific Drone Imagery Dashboard);
the hand-off to the new board was discussed as well as the reporting from
the board to HOT's voting membership;
and the self assesement of Tyler the Executive Director was discussed and
approved later on by mail.

For questions or corrections, please don't hesitate!

[HOT] HOT Board Minutes - March 2016

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Dear all,

Last wednesday, the 30th of march, we had again board meeting. You can find
the minuts here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B65TOMtm9My4TUJSd0tkZzlreGc
Like almost every meeting, we started with an update of the curent
financial status of HOT, after we started thinking on how we best can
organize a hand-off to the next board to start a good next HOT year.  We
got some good news from Tyler on two possible new projects and a
partnership. We discussed further how we would proceed wit the advisory
council and had a nice list of other businesses with a lot of events HOT
will participate in.

Further hereby also the link to our 2nd of march board meeting wich I did
not yet sent to you
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B65TOMtm9My4UVEydU5mc1VZT1E Sorry to sent
it that late to you. Yes, it stays a working point for me to sent the
minutes faster, but  circumstances (internet connection, moving back to the
home country, security, ..)  were not always ideal here last weeks.
Nevertheless, the main things discussed during that meeting are: we got a
finance update, we decided we want to make a public commitment to the SDGs
with HOT, and we discussed the upcoming board elections.

Voilà! That's it for now :-)

Have a nice day everybody!

[HOT] Journée internationale de la femme Afrique de l'Ouest - International Womens' Day West Africa

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Chers openstreetmappers,

Ils viennent de me offrir un chocolat belge. Il est aujourd'hui le 8 mars!

Parce qu'elles ont toutes un jour bien chargé ce le 8 mars, et n'ont
pas trouvé le temps de vraiment se réunir aujourd'hui, les filles
d'Afrique de l'Ouest ont décidé que à partir de 9 heures (UTC), elles
vont commencer de cartographier sur la tâche
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1588 Ceci pour célébrer la journée
internationale de la femme et bien sûr aussi pour soutenir la
communauté togolaise en même temps.

Par la présente, je souhaite la bienvenue à tout le monde de rejoindre
les filles d'Afrique de l'Ouest dans leur cartographie !
Faisons cela ensemble, l'homme et la femme comme une équipe. Non
seulement aujourd'hui, mais tous les autres jours ...

Meilleures salutations, Jorieke

Dear openstreetmappers,

I just got offered a Belgian chocolate. It's 8th march today!

Because they all have a busy agenda the 8th of march and did not found
the time to really get together today, the West African girls decided
that from 9 o'clock (UTC) they will start mapping on task
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1588 to celebrate international
woman's day and of course to support the Togolese community at the
same time.

Hereby I welcome everybody to join the west african girls in their mapping!
Let's do this together, man and woman as a team. Not only today, but
all the other days...

Best greetings, Jorieke

[HOT] HOT Board Minutes - January 27, 2016 - Special meeting

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hello everybody,

Last wednesday the board had a difficult special meeting. We talked through
three complaints received and we discussed thoroughly if the HOT code of
conduct 
was violated or not. The results of our discussion are to be shared with
Russell, the chair of the voting members. Because the discussion was highly
sensitive and included a lot of personal information, the meeting minutes
are rather limited.

Hereby the link to the minutes:

Re: [HOT] names for landuse=residential

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hey John!

You mean something like this?

https://kc.kobotoolbox.org/jorieke/forms/Villages_koulikoro/map

My team here in Mali is collecting village names everytime they are in
the field now, so more and more names are coming in!

Feel free to add them on OSM, just add as source "CTB Mali"

And again a big thank you for the small but dedicated team who is
mapping in the region where we are working. Thanks Suzan, Jim and
Ralph! (It's task http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1133 so if you would
like to help with this task, please give one of us a sign, then we can
coordinate!)

[HOT] Creating custom preset

Hi all,

Quick question: is there an easy way to create your own preset?

I can do it this way http://learnosm.org/en/josm/creating-presets/,
but if somebody knows about an existing tool to do it in a less
difficult way, please let me know!

Re: [HOT] Tagging hut=yes

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi all,

Just giving my two cents.

For me mapping a building like a hut does not signify a lot.
What is exactly a hut? Is it just a round building? Round buildings
can be made out of several materials and have several different
functions. Also why would a round building get another tag if a square
building is almost the same size, made out of the same materials and
has the same function?

What significant is for me, is that it is a house, a granary or a roof
to hide against the sun. Also the material of what it is made of is
significant: roof out of straw or metal, walls out of bricks or clay
... In my opinion drawing a circle and tagging it with building = yes
, and potentially other tags is the best.

For me mapping buildings as huts doesn't signify a lot, on the
contrary, I don't know what people who are living in the mapped 'huts'
will think of it that their house is mapped like a 'hut'. I suppose it
depends on how 'huts' are perceived in every culture. So yes also for
this reason I prefer mapping: building=yes.

Like I said, just my two cents :-)

Best greetings,

Jorieke

[HOT] Help map in Mali

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hello hotosm mappers,

I created a task for the Nara circle in Mali:
http://tasks.hotosm.org/?sort_by=priority=asc=nara+circle
Altough I already did some improvements, the base map is still not good. So
your help would be incredibly helpfull!

In the upcoming months people of the Belgian Development Agency in
collaboration with the ministry of rural development will start to collect
data on the field. We mainly will focus on important agricultural data to
decrease the malnitrution in the region: water points, veterenary points,
perimeters for pastoralists, places where they collect milk, abbatoirs,
food storage places, market places, etc. And of course village and place
names.

Also the wider humanitarian community (ocha, terre des hommes, who, wfp...)
is informed and looking foreward to the improved basemap of the region.

So if you must have some time, you're welcome!

[HOT] URGENT: recent OBF needed tomorrow

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hello,

Is there somebody who can help me out quite fast?
Tomorrow we are doing a small mapping exercise with some people of the
ministry of rural development in Mali.

We are going to map in Tienfala (region Koulikoro) and I kind of
validated the base map of the village after other remote mappers did
the base map already. And now of course I would love to see this data
on my OsmAnd.

So is there somebody around who can create an OBF file (?) for osmand
for me with the most recent data of Tienfala? We are leaving tomorrow
around 8am UTC.

[HOT] Beginners please...

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hello everybody,

Here an update on the Cameroon mapping we are doing for the WHO and
CDC in context of the Polio epidemic.

And ... also an explicit invitation for new mappers to work on this tasks!

The tasks are fairly easy and simple; only basic features must be
added like buildings, streets and water bodies. John also ensured us
to keep an eye on the validation, and might give new mappers some
usefull hints in their mapping. Further the imagery provided by
Digital Globe is also amazingly good. (Thanks again for this imagery!)

About what tasks to map:

We have two tasks wich are really almost done
Tibati: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/689
Yokadouma: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/686

And three tasks wich need a little bit more work:
Foumban: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/687
Tonga: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/690
Foumbot: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/688

So please qo ahead!
We think the tasks can be finished quite fast, so let's see what happens :-)

And then to be complete, here you can see the tasks which are already
done, and are archived now;
East Cameroon: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/777
Bétaré-Oya: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/685
Meiganga: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/684
Ngoura: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/683

Thanks a lot everybody for the mapping he/she did, is doing and is going to do.
Let's keep on going the good work!

Re: [HOT] Project 684 Polio outbreak and Ebola preparedness, Meiganga, Cameroon

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hey John, Kevin,

I'm sorry for responding this late... but here finally my answer.
First of all, Meiganga is looking gd on OSM :-)
I had a quick look at the data and it looks very nice, I don't think it
needs a further validation trough the tasking manager. The next step is
indeed field data collection by local volunteers. I'll archive this task
for remote mapping.

For Polio, the base map is of course important, but also the individual
buildings are. Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. It
invades the nervous system, and can cause total paralysis in a matter of
hours. The virus is transmitted by person-to-person spread mainly through
the faecal-oral route or, less frequently, by a common vehicle (e.g.
contaminated water or food) and multiplies in the intestine. So to be able
to discover patterns in the spread of polio, the mapping of buildings can
help a lot in identifying the exact location of patients. An interesting,
but old, article on this you can find here:
http://www.ij-healthgeographics.com/content/8/1/4

So thank you VERY VERY much for mapping, it is helping!

Jorieke

2015-04-15 21:46 GMT+00:00 Kevin Bullock kbull...@digitalglobe.com:

  Greetings John – let me assure you this incredible mapping work you have
 done IS indeed being put to use, in the field, by several organizations who
 are trying to eliminate Polio from the country of Cameroon. Jorieke was the

 Meiganga, Cameroon



 I don't know who the coordinator is but it's mapped.  I've done 247 tiles
 to a reasonable standard and validated the other fourteen.  If you wait for
 someone to come along and validate my work you'll probably be waiting a
 year or more so I suggest this project gets archived.  I sincerely hope
 that having mapped every building in Meiganga that someone will make use of
 the individually mapped buildings.

 I was looking for a polite descriptive word to use after every and before
 building but one didn't spring to mind.  I don't know if anyone has any
 suggestions?

 Very nice imagery but a lot of work.



 It definitely needs local input for street names etc.

[HOT] HOT board Minutes - April 2015

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Dear all,

Last Friday we held the first board meeting with the brand new board of HOT!

Despite our spreading around the world and it's linked connection problems,
Jaakko, Severin, Nama, Heather, Blake and me, found time and place to meet
and discuss.

The most important things we discussed on this first board meeting:

*The different roles in the Board: *
Conclusion: Heather will be president, Blake vice-President, Jaakko
treasurer and Jorieke secretary.

*The interim Executive Director Selection: *
Conclusion: We discussed broadly the two top-candidates we (the board)
interviewed and decided to offer the position to one of the candidates.

*The election of the 7th board member: *
Conclusion: Because only six candidates reached majority vote in election
of the Annual Meeting, we still need to fill in the 7th seat. The board
decided to proceed with the filling of the 7th seat on the board as a
normal board vacancy as defined by the bylaws.

More information on all this you can find in* the full meeting minutes *here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1EorbpNCZ03RnlKYVd3alVUaHc/view

Your comments, thoughts, questions and ideas are always welcome!

Best greetings,

Re: [HOT] Mapping Logging Roads in the Congo Basin

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hey Rafael,

Maybe, we should just do a skype on this.
Will be easier to talk!

Best, Jorieke


2015-03-26 14:17 GMT, Rafael Avila Coya ravilac...@gmail.com:
 Hi, Jorieke:

 I started the import discussion sending emails to the DRC, CAR and
 Cameroon lists, but unfortunately I didn't received any answer.

 I did received an interesting email from yours about this last 10th Feb,
 telling about the CAR WRI import [1] and about the Cameroon community
 and state of the map for that country.

 For the CAR WRI: I used that import data to help extensively in mapping
 roads all over the country while importing UNICEF data, although I
 didn't actually work in any task. I was very focused on the UNICEF data
 and would have to contact Séverin prior to work with that WRI import, so
 I left it until the 3 TM UNICEF projects were finished.

 In any case, this WRI data import is focused only in forest tracks, not
 roads in general. Therefore, it covers only the South West of Centrafrique.

 In any case, I will be happy to volunteer on that old WRI import if
 needed, but bear in mind that there is a new and very interesting job
 for road mapping/checking for CAR opened recently by Séverin [2], based
 on public domain data from Groads (there is another one for Mali too [3]).

 As for the Congo's communities: I would love to contact them, and
 collaborate/contribute in any way I can. I didn't know about the Rep. of
 Congo community, but I did receive an email from Claire on 26th Feb from
 Iraq, telling she would be back to DRC in a month or so and suggesting
 to talk about this when she is back.

 For Cameroon the data is quite big (around 8,500 ways), so I was
 thinking on splitting the import in 3, in order not to overload the data
 server. If you are willing, you may check the data [4] and we can decide
 how to better set the jobs.

 Please, tell me in what ways I can be of any help.

 Cheers,

 Rafael.

 Hi all,


 I’m pleased to announce the launch of a long-term initiative to
 upload logging road data from across the Congo Basin.  We currently
 have three TM projects running:


   *

 Democratic Republic of the Congo:
 http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/920

   *

 Central African Republic: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/956

   *

 Congo Brazzaville: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/957


 Over the coming weeks, we will be launching new TM projects for


   *

 Gabon

   *

 Equatorial Guinea

   *

 Cameroon


 This is a joint initiative between the World Resource Institute and
 Moabi--with considerable help from the HOT and OSM communities.  We
 are validating and uploading to OSM thousands of kilometers of
 tracks.  At a later point, we hope to compare these roads to
 high-res satellite imagery mosaics from the year 2000 to 2014 so
 that we can gain a better understanding of when roads were first
 cleared and if they have since been abandoned.  Currently, however,
 we are working to conflate all data with what already exists in OSM.


 If you are interested, please join us with the upload on any of the
 above TM projects, which include links to the project wikis.  If you
 do contribute, please create a separate specific import account for
 the upload (if you don’t have one yet), and follow the detailed
 instructions in the workflow wiki.




 If you have any questions, please reply to this thread or reach out
 to me directly.

 Hi everyone,

 This is great news! Thank you so much for running for Board member
 Jorieke!

 Jorieke is exactly the kind of person I think we will be lucky to have
 sit on our Board. She is an enthusiastic supporter of local OSM communities
 and backs up her talk with action and field work!

 Her on the ground experience empowering local groups and helping build
 capacities around the world will be priceless to HOT as we work to increase
 out support and encouragement of local HOT and OSM groups.

 One does not need to work with Jorieke for very long to appreciate her
 dedication, enthusiasm and professionalism.

 Jorieke I look forward to seeing you on the HOT Board and working with
 you to help make your vision for HOTs priorities a reality whether I am on
 the Board or not.

 It is my pleasure to nominate Jorieke Vyncke for the Humanitarian
 OpenStreetMap Team Board of Directors.

 Hi all,


 After seeing all the discussions, mails and reflecting a long time, I
 finally decided.

 To run.

 Not to run away, but to run for the board.


 In my eyes the heart of HOT is the community, not the board. Because in
 the community, that’s where things are happening: all the remote
 volunteers mapping for an ebola task, people on a Missing Maps Mapathon,
 data collection with motorbikes by the Togolese OSM-community,
 translating LearnOSM into Indonesian, giving a presentation on a
 conference, coding to improve the Tasking Manager, … and this to work
 towards our common goal of humanitarian aid and local development
 everywhere in the world.


 This is what the board in my eyes needs to facilitate, to support and to
 make decisions towards.


 How would I try to work towards this as a board member?

   * We need to support local OSM-communities in every way we can. This,
 by among others setting up projects to support and create local OSM
 communities everywhere in the world. Big budget, but also very low
 budget.

   * We need to support individual and group projects popping up in our
 HOT-community. Some magnificent examples: MapLesotho, Missing Maps,
 Projet EOF, Mapazonia, … This we can do by sharing the tools we
 made, exchanging ideas and sharing advice, knowledge and
 experiences.

   * We need to give the membership and the broader HOT community a
 bigger voice by more transparency and the creation of discussion on
 the direction and vision of HOT. Democracy is more than a yearly
 election.

   * We need to outreach more towards atypical mapper profiles, like
 mine. In addition to the development of tools and software, we need
 to stimulate and support the organization of social mapping events.
 In this way we can create a bigger diversity in our community.

 My vision on what direction the board has to go, flows directly out of
 my experiences of volunteering remotely, but most important out of my
 experiences of going and mapping on the field. I did several field trips
 the last three years, to build and support local OSM communities in the
 Central African Republic, Cameroun, Senegal, DRC and Bangladesh [1].
 This resulted also in a good knowledge of the field of humanitarian and
 development organizations: big international NGOs and local
 universities, organisations of the UN-system and small local
 associations …. Isn’t this an advantage to have in the board too?
 Further I will be based in Africa the next one or two years. I’m leaving
 in a big week for Mali to work as a GIS officer for the Belgian
 Development Agency. So I’ll have the opportunity not only being a HOT
 volunteer, but also using the data we create and giving feedback from a
 user side.


 Now you know a little bit more what you will get if I’m elected. :-)


 I know I’m a little late with presenting myself, but you still have some
 time to ask me everything you want (the last day of the election is the
 27^th of march). Also after the election I’m open for discussions,
 questions and just chatting, because this is how we move forward!

Re: [HOT] WRI forest tracks import in Congo Basin

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi Rafael, John,

We got this data opened during the Eurosha project after a nice
collaboration with Pascal Douard of the WRI.

For CAR we decided to set up a TM immediatly because indeed there is no
local community and it is some of the few existing data for that country.
For Cameroon we let this to the local OSM community to decide what to do
with it, because the quality of the data is not that tremendous and there
is already a lot of data on osm.

Altough the workflow on the wiki is maybe a little bit outdated, all info
should be in there. But for more info you of course can ask.

Best greetings,

Jorieke

  help enormously.

 I will contact the Cameroon OSM community for this.

  Also a few GPS traces on the majors roads would help.  Most roads
  are fine but cloud cover meant that there are gaps to say the
  least.

 GPS traces will definitely help. In Gabon Digital Globe lowres imagery
 is misaligned by easily 200 m. Interesting too, we have now Mapbox
 images in some areas, with no clouds in areas where bing has.

 
  I note that there are a number of existing roads in OSM that look
  like imports that did not seem to align with the high resolution
  satellite imagery.

 I noted them too. Some are from WRI, maybe imported from before the
 imports guidelines.

Re: [HOT] Bangladesh mapping - first batch of field papers - help us upload the data!

Hi Pierre,

W used in Bangladesh the following taggings, so it might be good to use the
same ones.
For the most common POI's:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2dwbgouduhep0g5/Tags%20points%20of%20interest.docx?dl=0
For the roads:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/whrd59h7r90v0ce/Tags%20roads.docx?dl=0

Pleas feel also free to give input about these!

2015-02-02 20:47 GMT+01:00 Pete Masters pedrito1...@googlemail.com:

 Brilliant, thanks Pierre!

 I have made one change because the Bangladeshi mappers have already
 started on the editing. We decided there to use man_made=works for
 tanneries and factories, with product=leather/plastic etc to distinguish
 between them.

 Otherwise, great. Thanks!

 Pete

 Hi Pete,


 To see how this looks like, I just Looked at the Project 13 Questionnaire

 interpret the hand written english names. But the local Bengladesh team

 adding bengali names.

 For other tags,  some objects are not common for northern countries
 remote mappers.

 To facilitate collaboration from the remote mappers, I added to the wiki

 OSM key and attribute to describe them.

 For the Factories, I used the industrial=factory proposal.   There are
 some objects for which I could not find a key.

 I suggest that the mappers refer to this section and revise the tags.
 This will assure homogeneity and facilitate tagging for others that later
 join-in,

 *Objet :* [HOT] Bangladesh mapping - first batch of field papers - help
 us upload the data!

 Hello all,

 We are looking for some help getting the data from the field papers up
 onto OSM!

 The first batch is on the wiki at
 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Missing_Maps_Bangladesh_Field_Mapping_Jan15#Field_Paper_Edit_and_Upload.21

 We would love it if any of you could grab a pack and follow the
 instructions. This is the data for Hazaribagh. Some of it has been
 processed by the Bangladeshi OSM team, but time was limited, so please go
 through all the packs. If your pack has already been done, a second eye on
 it would be great anyway. Also, on some, roads will have been edited, but
 not landmarks (or visa versa).

 Hazaribagh is the priority as already one NGO working in the area wants
 to conduct some health studies using the base map (and very soon)!

 I think everything you need is there. let me know if there are any
 problems!

 Thanks a million...

 Pete

Re: [HOT] Request for help/guidance on a project to test diarrheal disease interventions in Kendua Sub-District, Bangladesh.

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi Stace and Eric,



Pete is talking about the same people as I did to you before. Some of our
Bangladesh mappers are now also on this list... But I will sent you a
follow up mail on this.



Further I like very much your idea, and would like to give you some input.

Talking out of my experience; to trace patients, not necessarily all
buildings are needed in the first phase. To track patients the main
important this is to be able to locate people. So this means collecting
locally used neighbourhood names, locally used street names,

and landmarks used by the people. Buildings are in my view then a second
step.



I don't know how big the area is you're focused on? Maybe you can quickly
point it on a Umap  http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/for us? Fingers crossed,
for good imagery in the area of interest...



Also I was thinking it might be good to set up an OSM Bangla Skype group to
try to coordinate all the upcoming projects a little bit. Lastly there was
also interest of Terre des Hommes, the American Red Cross is going to do
more things in spring,... So we can coordinate a bit and share resources
and thoughts on mapping in the very particular context of Bangladesh.
Please let me know if you are interested in this.


Best greetings,


Jorieke

 Hi Stace, I have just come back from Dhaka (literally on Thursday), where
 we were working with the local OSM community to map two areas,
 Kamrangirchar and Hazaribagh, for the Missing Maps project. We worked with
 between 10-30 volunteers of varying skills each day for two weeks. They are
 a smart and enthusiastic bunch and most said they planned to keep mapping
 anyway. They all have experience in using field papers and surveys and
 Osmand, and most have at least a days experience using JOSM to edit /
 upload.

 I have email addresses and phone numbers if you want them or you can
 contact them via the OpenStreetMap Bangladesh Facebook page.

 There are also a number of very experienced mappers / OSM focused GIS
 people I can put you in touch with directly.

 Let me know what you think...

 Cheers,

 Pete

 All,

 I'm working with a faculty member studying the efficacy of mobile app
 based interventions, who needs detailed street and building footprints for
 his pilot. He is working in the Kendua sub-district of Bangladesh,
 initially, and needs data for health workers to use to identify cholera
 patients homes/home village, pharmacies, etc... I've pasted his abstract,
 below. If he finds efficacy, he will likely expand the project to other
 sub-districts. We are wondering several things:

 First, what is the process to have a project added to the Task Manager?

 Second, do you happen to currently have mappers in this area who could
 work on this?

 Finally, we may be able to obtain gps traces from food delivery drivers
 to upload to OSM. It would be great to have a training for them if there
 are mappers in the area, or in Dhaka who would be willing to travel.
 Wondering who to contact about the possibility of that (I know bulk uploads
 are frowned upon unless coordinated with OSM).

 Thanks in advance for your time, I've pasted the abstract for the
 project, below my signature.

 Leveraging mobile technology to improve clinical outcomes and scientific
 research of the second leading cause of childhood death: diarrheal disease

 Abstract
 Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death among children
 under 5 years of age globally. We are specifically interested in the
 diarrheal disease cholera because of the devastating impact the disease has
 on at-risk populations and the emerging opportunities to leverage mobile
 technology to overcome fundamental clinical, epidemiologic, and scientific
 challenges. Despite effective treatments and advances in provider
 education, cholera case fatality rates remain unacceptably high.
 Conventional methods have been unable to overcome barriers to provide
 patients timely access to care in resource-poor settings. This is
 especially true early in outbreaks because response teams are slow to
 mobilize and cholera can infect, transmit and kill in less than 20 hours.
 Our research challenge is to take an unconventional approach to develop a
 new method using mobile technology to identify outbreak clusters early,
 improve care, and advance our basic understanding of the disease. The
 specific aims of this project are to (i) develop mobile technology for
 clinical decision support and real-time epidemiology, (ii) test the
 mobile-technology and determine microbial correlates to disease

[HOT] And the mapping has started in Bangladesh!

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi HOT!



A message out of Bangladesh, Pete and I are just back at the hotel after a
very good first real mapping day!


In the morning we did a presentation followed by a lot of explanations and
after a little Field Paper exercise around Eastern University in the
Dhanmundi area. In the afternoon, we talked about humanitarian mapping and
went to Hazaribagh to really start mapping!


So yes, this is really getting on! At this moment we are checking the
already mapped data on OSM and will we create soon our Field Papers for
tomorrow. Then installing the everyday updated osm file on OsmAnd on the 8
smartphones we have here  (thank you Blake, Ben, Pierre, Michael, Claire!
Btw. if you want to join this club behind the scenes, please ping me!)  and
put a grid of the FieldPapers as overlay on OsmAnd so we exactly can check
where we are on the Fieldpaper during the mapping.


So yes we are using what you mapped! It is even a major help to have stuff
on the map! So it would be great if you could map a little more for us…


The* most important* now is to have *a rough validation* of
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/833#task/51  to really kick out the biggest
mess. Pleas start doing this in the North Eastern part, because this is the
place we are going to map on Monday.


Please keep also contributing to this task
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/838  !


And the other too, but that one is *less a priority *
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/831


By the way, Pete just put some pictures of today on twitter J

Re: [HOT] Mapping in Dhaka, Bangladesh!

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Hi everybody,

First of all thanks a lot for mapping in the Bangladesh tasks! It will be
of great help!

And indeed, I should have made it clearer in the presentation. I'll try to
do a review tomorrow.
In big follow the instructions of althio:

for appartment and other large buildings -- * building=yes*
for big individual trees which serve as landmark  --  *natural=tree*
but also bushes and a bunch of trees together which too serve as landmarks
-- *natural=wood*
for open areas it is okay to map -- *leisure=common* * (but you can
use also a landcover http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Landcovertag for
open areas like --  natural=sandor landuse=grass)*


Further remarks and clarification:

- on buildings; indeed it would be good to collect the levels but don't put
effort in it for now. We first need the base map of roads and big
landmarks. This is essential to do mapping on the ground.
- In this case building=construction is also not recommended. Every day
things are changing here. Besides this, buildings under construction have
often already inhabitants. Often they are just building one more floor on
top of the existing building. (Think back to the catastrophe in Rana Plaza
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Savar_building_collapse, you get
buildings ready to collapes anytime by building like this...) So just stick
with building=yes for now.
- the leisure=common tag we try to adjust this one during the mapping on
the ground

If you need more clarifications, if you have questions or if you have ideas
to make all this even more smoothly, please give us a sign!

Best greetings,

Jorieke





2015-01-15 16:48 GMT+06:00 althio althio althio.fo...@gmail.com:

 Hi Bouke Pieter,

 I will try to answer and Jorieke may refine later on.

  For high (appartment)buildings I assume building=yes?

 OK.
 From the instructions tab: map landmarks, large buildings, not small ones
 [tags]
 building=yes for rectangular  round buildings - trace the building outline
 building=construction for walls without a roof
 [note: I assume more refinement are possible as in
 building=residential or building=apartments but this is hard to tell
 from imagery and not requested in this project]
 [note 2: To Jorieke; maybe request additional tag for large buildings
 otherwise they will not stand out if small buildings are ever traced.
 Maybe height=* or building:levels=* even if it is approximate. Anyway
 I think this is valid for any mapping: building=yes/residential +
 building:levels=6..8..10..12 + source:building:levels=estimate from
 imagery]
 [note 3: sometimes in other project, building=construction is not
 encouraged because construction seen in imagery may well be finished
 by now. So follow instructions project by project]


  Trees: natural=tree?

 OK.
 from the powerpoint: map BIG trees (because they are landmarks,
 significant tree)
 [tags]
 natural=tree [I assume]


  But how to do an open area? area=yes?

 No.
 from the powerpoint: map open spaces
 [tags]
 leisure=common [I assume, as usual practice for HOT]

 Cheers

2015-01-16 1:04 GMT+06:00 Blake Girardot bgirar...@gmail.com:

 Hi Jorieke,

 I noticed a few buildings already mapped, like the ones in your powerpoint
 slide showing significant buildings, often with brightly colored roofs
 (blue, red, etc).

 And they had roof:colour=* tags on them already in OSM.

 Do you think those would help? It might help people find the buildings, or
 identify which building is mapped: Oh the one with the red roof

 But I do not know if the roof:colour=* information would be available to
 the people using our mapping data.

 Just wonder if you thought it would be a good idea or not. It is a small
 thing, but I liked the idea when I saw it.

 Cheers,
 Blake

Re: [HOT] Mapping Northern Nigeria ?

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Don't have time to help out now with this, but I like the idea!
Just a small remark : recently we got high resolution imagery for whole
Cameroon from DigitalGlobe. And in the far north along the border with
Nigera they face the same problems
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/11341289/Boko-Haram-push-across-border-to-attack-Cameroon-army.html,
and Nigerian refugees are coming too... So it might be an idea to start
over there? I now a bunch of ngo's are working in the far north, like
French Red Cross, GIZ and Unicef.

Good luck!

 Hi Jeremy,

 I support the project idea and am glad to help with creating, documenting
 and managing projects in the Tasking Manger (which is not the hardest part
 of a project like this) for whomever would like to manage the overall
 project.

 The first step would be to work out the licensing issues with the imagery
 and it needs to be put on a TMS server so we can use it in iD and JOSM.

 We have a process for imagery that I am not familiar with except that I
 know requests always exceed availability in terms of imagery available,
 hosting and bandwidth to make it available and people power to get it it
 all arraigned.

 It seems like the availability is taken care of, not by Amnesty
 International, but by their imagery provider, DigitalGlobe who is very
 generous with our HOT mapping needs is my understanding, so I think they
 are receptive to licensing for our use but would have to specifically grant
 us permission to use the imagery they provided to AI as it does not look to
 me like AI's current usage rights would allow us to use it. Plus we would
 need the georeferenced hi-res source imagery that AI is not providing. Then
 the hosting issue.

 But the whole process is something even a fairly new HOT community member
 can give a try if you (or anyone) is interested. It will just take a bit
 longer as you will have to learn the process as well as go through it :)

 If you (or anyone) is interested, I am happy to help, I want to learn the
 process myself anyway. Just contact me off list and let me know.

 And of course, this is just my opinion and understanding, I could be
 missing something totally.

 Cheers,
 Blake

 After the attacks of Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria this january, a
 similar reaction as in Gaza (mapping before/after with the help of
 appropriate aerial images) could be appropriate to help build a precise
 evaluation of the damages.

 As a fairly new/unexperienced HOT contributor, I couldn't find any
 indication of such a project. Is it on track already, or is it planned ?

http://ec.europa.eu/echo/en/what/humanitarian-aid/eu-aid-volunteers for
the Eurosha http://hot.openstreetmap.org/projects/eurosha_0project (where
more then 20 european and african volunteers were deployed in four
different countries in Africa to mainly promote and train local people on
OpenStreetMap) I'm happy to see the Eurpean commision keeps on supporting
the humanitarian use of OpenStreetMap through the Eu Aid Volunteer program!

I came across a nice article about mapping in the Philippines I wanted to
share with you. Here it is:

Best,

Salut Sene,

En fait, il y a d'imagerie de Touba très récemment maintenant! Mais tu
avais raison, il n'y avait pas avant!
Ce que Pierre dit est bien correct: Bing nous fournit de beaucoup
d'imagerie, mais ils n'ont pas d'imagerie de partout dans le monde.
Aussi, si tu travailles avec JOSM il y as aussi possible de ajouter
l'imagerie de Mapbox. Mapbox ils nous fournissent aussi de l'imagerie,
comme Bing. Tu vas le retrouvé à coté l'onglet de Bing. Pour Touba il y a
aussi de l'imagerie de Mapbox!
Bonne soirée et bonne mapping!

 Bonjour Serge,

 La terre n'est pas encore couverte au complet avec de l'imagerie haute
 résolution. Mais Microsoft a un important programme d'acquisition d'images.
 Sur la carte ci-dessous tu verras une bande rouge verticale où le satellite
 n'est pas encore passé.

 À noter qu'il y a mainteant un groupe de discussion hot-francophone où les
 contributeurs francophones se retrouvent.

Re: [HOT] Togo-based Western African mapathon to support the OSM activation in support of the Ebola humanitarian response

[Jorieke Vyncke]

Haha, the cartoon maker website is pretty cool :-)
And maybe you didn't draw the cartoons yourselves, the composition and the
idea is still awesome!

Have a lot of mapping fun!

 Nice cartoon, I would like to use, but please revise osm url to
 ww.OpenStreetMap.org and not .com since I am not very good at cartoons :)

 Hi West African mappers,

 Just want to say: really really great what is happening now in Togo with
 all the different OSM communities!!
 Mapping for your neighbours in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinée to be able
 to combat the ebola outbreak in a better way, it's great!

 And by the way, I'm really curious who's making the super cool cartoons of
 #map4ebola
 like http://tiny.cc/x366mx  http://tiny.cc/i766mx


 For everyone else here, you can follow what is happening in Togo on the
 facebook pages of the different OSM communities: Benin, Togo, Senegal,
 Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Niger, .. who else is there?


 Keep on going!
 I follow you on the social media and will do some mapping out of Belgium
 too today :-)

 We are together! On est ensemble!

 Jorieke

 Hi there,

 I am forwarding this email posted by Emmanuel from OSM Ivory Coast (OSM
 CI) about the Ebola mapathon that a collective of mappers from Western
 African countries (from Togo, Ivory Coast, Burkina-Faso, Niger, Bénin and
 Sénégal) gathered in Togo will be organizing tomorrow (4-Oct, 2014) night
 7:00 PM (GMT) onwards.

 The mapathon will take place after a one day long mapping party the same
 day (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) that this collective of Western African mappers
 will be organizing for the members of a togoles free software association -
 l' Association Togolaise des Utilisateurs de Logiciel Libre (ATULL).

 Both events are part of a regional OSM-based (technical and organizaional)
 capacity building program of the Projet Espace OSM Francophone (EOF) which
 started about ten days ago and will be held in the Village Du Bénin at the
 Campus of the Lomé University where the workshops are based.

 Anyone willing to join from afar (or in-country) is warmly welcome !

 Excellent day,
 Ciao

 Nico

 Hi, Claire:

 You forgot to say where you meet. I suppose in HOT IRC...

 My connection is also sometimes tricky, but I will try to be there.

 Cheers,

 been published thanks to a group member.
