Hi Robert, Thanks for this. It's great to have some concrete analysis of what we did, and the extent to which it's accurate. Is there a full cross-tabulation available of the numbers for building-osm-status vs building-true-status? In the report there's a table of over/underrepresentation, and

Just looked at the latest HOT activation http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/425 and went to the Users tab to see what activity there was/is. OMG, as I've said many times before this page is unworkable in its new design. I have to wait THREE seconds every time I move my mouse over a userid. This is

I agree that the show tiles for given user on map is slow. It's even more slow when the number of tiles in the job is big. Performance can probably be improved. I think that it's a nice addition though even if it's not efficient. If I read you correctly, what you are missing is the number of

Hi, I think before proposing who is leading what, having an open discussion about what a survey about HOT Activations should encompass and what to analyze would be a good start. There is for sure a lot to learn from Haiyan activation but please let us not forget there are other Activations to

[HOT] Nominations for HOT Chair of the voting members and Board are open

2014-02-14 Thread Severin Menard
Hi Russell, Thanks for pointing out these unclear aspects in the bylaws, would be good to modify them so that there is no confusion. For the number of board seats, either there is a gold number and then it should be written, or we prefer to have a range and in this case, it should be mentioned

 Thanks for pointing out these unclear aspects in the bylaws, would be good to modify them so that there is no confusion.  Yes, definitely, one of the top priorities for this year will be to address the gaps in the bylaws, to clarify and make them more in line for the kind of organization we

Mikel, we had previously been working here: https://hackpad.com/HOT-Bylaws-Amendments-D5EU34qgHYu - lots of good stuff on these topics that was consolidated from all our other google docs, etc. If you'd like help moving everything to the wiki, we can do that; but it may be easier to continue

We definitely need to make this all work together. Various smaller and larger issues need to be adjusted in the bylaws. Code needs to be referred to in them (IMO). And we can't just tackle one thing at a time. I don't mind which the place is (wiki or Hackpad). Hackpad is more conversational but
