Hi All, is there a Wiki Page, Blog or somewhere where all the Manifestos can be published in one spot, rather than keeping them in an email thread which many people may or may not see. I took the liberty of creating this page, where members seeking nomination can publish their manifestos http://w

Re: [HOT] HOT Board and Chair Elections

HOT, When I sat down and starting reading through my email tonight I came across Joseph's great post about announcing the desire to serve on the HOT board. I quickly sat down and starting writing my first every OSM diary entry as my HOT board statement. I humbly ask for your nomination to the board

Hi All, I declined the interview because of the intelligence nature of the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation(USGIF). As a humanitarian focused organization I did not think it was appropriate to be interviewed by them. Each organization has to make their own decisions on the line of

Re: [HOT] Great Article in Trajectory Magazine

I saw that too, not sure who ‘declined to be interviewed’, maybe they just did not know who to contact. In the future anyone who gets asked but doesn’t feel comfortable please have the reporter contact either i...@hotosm.org or communicati...@hotosm.org – we should be able to fulfill most reques

Dear all, Having written what I'd like to see from others I thought I'd put up my own example. Please find my Board thoughts at the following post: https://ello.co/iknowjoseph/post/PknSgOQVxK8lsQJrtIQgEw I hope that this, if nothing else, is a start to the dialogue I was previously asking for.

Hi Lumneh, Thank you for your interest. The best place to discuss this would be in the Github ticket for the project itself(1). I'd suggest reviewing the LearnOSM website(2) as well. Have you already read through the Outreachy website about the general requirements(3)? The basic expectations of t

Re: [HOT] project/917#task/61

John, I found two areas with one or two buildings that were not mapped.  For the rest, as Blake said, these seem to be just some artifact. But we should understand what are the objectives of such mapping. The international organizations are helping to rebuild the health system and assure better

Re: [HOT] project/917#task/61

Hi John, I don't see any unmapped buildings. There was one hut that I mapped. I suspect all those bare spots in the fields are just some artifact of how they are farmed, it didn't look to me like there were buildings in there. I tend to agree there are probably paths all along those fields.
