[HOT] Follow up on Academic Research Discussion from the HOT Summit
Hi everyone, A few of us organized a group discussion at the HOT Summit back in April on partnerships with academic researchers. Everyone in the session seemed to agree that research on HOTs activities has the potential to be beneficial and should be encouraged but that there needed to be a clearer statement from HOT both inviting that research as well as setting some ground-rules for how we would like to be approached, interacted with, and some of the research topics we thought would be valuable. Based on that session, we have drafted a short note here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FJmhy9Lpm67d1NfhwPV1fWfxsMZRU5bYxmK9e8DR3aI/edit and sketched a few initial ideas on what we think would be interesting to partner with academics on: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SmlYKkpl0tCV-5KKIuv25SWGgwf90OScgfwqfGXaBKg/edit# I think the goal, if there are no major objections, would be to get some input from the HOT community on both of these documents and then move them to wiki page where they could live as resources to point researchers to when they reach out to us. Please feel free to make any suggestions to the documents, follow up with me here, or send me an email offline - whichever you prefer. Thanks!

There are a few important users of OSM data in Nepal with workflows built around the GeoFabrik downloads here: http://download.geofabrik.de/asia/nepal.html Right now I think this data is being updated daily. If someone from GeoFabrik is on this list or knows someone there, could we ask to have the updates run hourly for the time being?

[HOT] HOT Summit Idea - Panel on Academic Research & HOT
Hi all, I'm thinking about submitting a panel proposal for the HOT Summit on academic partnerships with HOT. Potential topics for discussion could include research ethics, opportunities for documenting HOT's efforts, and the kinds of questions that the HOT community would see benefit from having academic investigation into. There is tremendous scholarly interest in OpenStreetMap these days and HOT is an important reason for that. I think it could be useful for us as a community to articulate what partnership with academic researchers might look like and what we might hope to gain from this. If you have interest in participating in this panel or just have thoughts that you would like to see covered, please drop me a line here or off-list. Look forward to seeing everyone at the Summit. Thanks! Robert ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

[HOT] Brief remote training on the use of the Task Manager for the Kathmandu OSM community
Would anyone be available in the next week or two to work remotely with 2-3 people from the Nepal OSM community on the use of the HOT task manager? They're techies and pretty motivated so I'm guessing a quick walk through of the platform over Skype or something similar would be sufficient to get them going. Let me know and I can make an intro. Thanks, Robert ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
Re: [HOT] Sample data for Inasafe testing
Robert et al, InaSAFE was developed by AIFDR, BNPB, and the World Bank for use in Indonesia but we already have active programs in Sri Lanka and the Caribbean where our counterparts are exploring use of the tool. We're also partnering with JRC, ITHACA, and GEM on a code-sprint this November to further develop the tool and add new functionality. Happy to discuss if there's interest in participating or learning more.

Re: [HOT] Including hazards in OSM - First draft of typology and methodology
Hi Stephane, Just to be clear, I really like the idea of community-based hazard mapping as a way of involving people in conversations about emergency preparedness activities and drr planning. My concerns are related to the use of the results of these exercises in risk modeling and even if we could address those, I just don't think OSM is the right platform. It's an interesting and open question to me as to whether the point of this kind of work is to produce meaningful data at all. Historically this has not been the emphasis of participatory GIS, where the value is seen much more as the process and conversation that happens along the way. 1 - I worry very much about the ability to establish consistency of classification of hazard levels and limitations on geographical meaningfulness that would actually lend itself to a collaborative approach. Collaboration requires some basic standards that to me seem difficult to come to and use in this case. There are efforts underway to improve hazard models in many countries and this doesn't seem to be something where OSM can make a significant contribution. Event-based hazard delineation is indeed used but is problematic for lots of reasons right? It also still requires processing of the data on individual events. 2- I hadn't heard about the flood zone mapping and would probably have had a similar opinion on that :) I do think that if the goal here is to get OSM data used more in risk assessment than we have a strong opportunity to do entirely defensible work on things like building stock, location of schools and hospitals and other critical infrastructure that is in line with best practice risk modeling. But we're still in very early days on this from what I've seen and a lot more could be done towards developing the methodologies for that. I would definitely be interested in working on this with you, maybe HOT could start an effort on DRR and this could be an early initiative. I have some ideas for a few other people we could involve.

Re: [HOT] Including hazards in OSM - First draft of typology and methodology
100% agreed with Kate on this. OSM has great potential for collecting building and other information that could be used to build exposure databases. The work HOT has done in Indonesia is an excellent example of this. However, hazard information useful for actual risk modeling is much more complicated and not really able to be collected in meaningful ways through direct field observation alone. Many countries already use the DesInventar platform to create historical disaster catalogs and there are a number of other initiatives underway to try to create platforms for sharing hazard models. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I don't see the OpenStreetMap toolset or approach as having much to add to the hazard aspect of risk modeling. What would be extremely useful though is some effort towards devising best practices and simple, flexible data models around exposure data collection so more projects could get started with this. Would be happy to spend a little bit of time working with people on this if its of interest.

Re: [HOT] Fwd: [CrisisMappers] USIP Call for Proposals: "Participatory Digital Mapping, Local Media, and Community Engagement"
Hey guys, Just a few quick thoughts. Participation in the mapping of your city/neighborhood/country is one means to participating in a broader dialogue about the state of things, what is important, and being engaged in the the processes that the maps are intended to facilitate. Because OSM is a dynamic dataset, constantly being updated or at least always update-able, I think there are strong possibilities for framing our work as a free and open conversation about a community that all community-members can participate in. In doing so, there are clear links to peace-building work. USIP held an event last year on "Community Mapping as a PeaceBuilding Tool." Might be worth talking to Patrick Meier or Rob Baker (I think they were both there) about what was discussed and how it could help us talk about HOT in the language of the peace-building work. I forwarded this to a friend in Uganda when it first came up on the CrisisMappers list to see if there was interest. Senegal just had a historic election and we've talked about wanting to work in W Africa for awhile too. There's a Drupal-shop there that has at times I think been involved in mapping activities who we could also reach out to.
