Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma
To complete the Task for Goma, North-Kivu, we invite you to participate using task http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/102 Bulongo-Mugonga town and rural areas are still to be traced. Note that the previous Task http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/97 was accidentally destroyed last night. Thirteen mappers contributed and mapped most of the urban area of Goma. See the ITO progression map. http://www.itoworld.com/map/130#lat=-1.6308543410163943&lon=29.19833841903902&zoom=13 Thanks to all of you. fmoine isseu johanemilsson Joseph Pollack maning mapistanbul michael63 nikkidecibel PierZen Samusz shenriod ubahnverleih WingedStone Pierre > > De : Pierre Béland >À : hot >Cc : Joseph Pollack ; nicolas chavent > >Envoyé le : Lundi 26 novembre 2012 16h37 >Objet : Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma > > >The job for Goma is online. see http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/97 > >OCHA reports that around 25,000 displaced people are in Sake from Goma.

Hi all, Looking quickly at the Bing Image Analyser, Goma and some surrounding areas are covered in high detail: http://ant.dev.openstreetmap.org/bingimageanalyzer/?lat=-1.689891955079034&lon=29.226718902587876&zoom=11 I've not been able to find any coverage areas as shapefiles or equivalent, however. Does anyone have a good way of scripting usage of the Image Analyser? I've previously scripted some checking of an area south of Goma, but it can't have been the most efficient way of doing it: Scripting Firefox to open new tabs until my PC ran out of memory wasn't too elegant.

Hi Joseph, We have no officially activated yet. At the moment there isn't much to do. (We are looking for someone to lead the activation though). One thing to do would be look for available imagery in the area that can be used for digitizing.

Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma
Hi kate and all, Sorry for the delays in response, last days were pretty full! DRC: the crisis escalates and it seems that it forms the basis for our action. DRC osm data through the hot export: I refer to the JOSM internal preset (version as of 14 nov in the josm wiki), it provides main key/values from the main OSM map features. And can serve as a good basis for a generic OSM extracts. I emailed a couple of contacts within th UN hum system so that we can get areas of interest, overview of data and key on the ground needs. I'll continue this from Dakar where is based the regional OCHA bureau which has oversight over DRC.
