Re: [OSM-talk] HOT Mapping thoughts
Unfortunately it was a passing conversation at a local OSM meet up in Ottawa and I'm not even sure I'd recognise the young gentleman again. I just thought I'd tag it as it seemed odd to me and if it was the case then perhaps something could be done. Probably with low bandwidth availability it could have been some one was using off line data?

Re: [OSM-talk] HOT Mapping thoughts
Hi John, It might be helpful to know which tools the person was using. Perhaps it was one that wasn't updated very often.

Re: [OSM-talk] Early History of OSM
Hi Clifford, There's not early maps here, but Pascal neis recently worked out some great statistics concerning the age of OSM data: http://neis-one.org/2014/07/age-of-osm-objects/ These may provide a useful parallel to any early tiles; if nothing else they should show you something about the amount of data that exists from these early days.

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM risk assessment models
Hi Douglas, You should have a look at InaSAFE ( http://inasafe.org ). It is all open source, it is a plugin for QGIS, you can install it directly from the plugin repository. The plugin actually include an OSM downloader that makes it easy to use OSM data directly but you can also use the tool with any other data source. There is also a lot of documentation including training material on the website. Technically, it is not a risk assessment tool (in the probabilistic sense) but more of an impact/scenario assessment tool as you can look at specific scenarios/events one by one. It should be very useful to do some visualization, help with contingency planning, preparedness, damage assessment, etc... Let us know on the inasafe mailing list if you need some help getting started or if you have question ( inasafe-us...@googlegroups.com), Best, Vivien On Tue, Aug 5, 2014 at 10:35 AM, Douglas Musaazi wrote: > Hi, > > If some one from the list can spare some time, it will be appreciated to > send/point me to some examples of risk assessment models developed basing > on OSM data/tools or even QGIS software. > > Risk assessment basing on any thematic area/topic > > Thanks. > > Yours Truly > > Douglas Ssebaggala Musaazi > Mobile: +256-772-422524 > @douglaseru > > http://www.mappingday.com/ > http://www.twitter.com/mapuganda > > Keep In Touch > > ___ > talk mailing list > talk@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk > > ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] OSM risk assessment models
Hi, If some one from the list can spare some time, it will be appreciated to send/point me to some examples of risk assessment models developed basing on OSM data/tools or even QGIS software. Risk assessment basing on any thematic area/topic Thanks.

Didn't know about that one.
