Re: [HOT] Ecuador: Done and Validated tasks need work and review

Past Saturday I did a 'live' performance teaching JOSM to newbie mappers at 1 of the Belgian universities. Most of them were students of geography though. Still, I think the major hurdle is getting Java installed, JOSM downloaded and started and then the initial setup (activate remote control, and

Humberto, Thanks! The custom imagery is loading slow in iD, but seems to be ok in JOSM... might just be my system. Mike On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 2:41 PM, hyan...@gmail.com wrote: > Hello Mike, > > yes: http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1836 and >

[HOT] Ecuador - More Projects?

We are planning a mapathon in Colorado US tonight. Are there likely to be more Ecuador projects suitable for newer mappers? I am attempting to revise our instruction guide now. Thanks, Mike ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org

Re: [HOT] DigitalGlobe support for HOT and Ecuador

Hi Bill, Thanks for the question, yes the Tomnod results will be made available with an Open license. We will either add the instructions to the blog post I linked to below, or create a new blog post altogether. Either way, I will provide the info. I agree – the Tomnod crowd is flagging

Re: [HOT] Ecuador: Done and Validated tasks need work and review

Totally agree what I was trying to do when validating was simply tag tiles that had buildings missing and catch the very obvious errors. The objective was to avoid the problems we had in Nepal where tiles were marked done and validated when large chunks of buildings were omitted. building=house

Thanks Russell, this morning with Melanie Eckle (from http://openls.geog.uni-heidelberg.de/disaster/ ) agreeded to use for the routing service: *Broken roads/bridges tags:* Create a small way segment where your evidence a place where road/bridge is broken and then add to this small segment this

Re: [HOT] DigitalGlobe support for HOT and Ecuador

Hi Kevin, Is there any plan to make the Tomnod-produced classification data available to HOT for guidance/comparison? Those points were at least anecdotally useful in the Nepal activation. Thanks as always for sharing the imagery! -Bill Morris Burlington, VT USA > Message: 4 > Date: Wed, 20

Re: [HOT] #EcuadorMapping: Tags for broken roads or bridges

Hi Humberto and all, Unfortunately we just haven’t had the time to draft and begin the proposal process for ‘damage tagging’ (it is part of the HDM revive on the AWG agenda ); currently I think the only documented tags that are in use are

[HOT] #EcuadorMapping: Tags for broken roads or bridges

Dear all, Please, for post-event mapping projects we need to identify broken roads or bridges, I've take a look to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Tags/HDM_preset with any luck (maybe more eyes can found it) Any suggestion? Thanks! Humberto Yances

Re: [HOT] Mapathons for Ecuador

Hi Russ and others, we took a page from some of the remarks to the list and our own observations. During out mapping activity today we (19) mostly corrected, redrew and squared buildings for Ecuador (adding a few new ones). Ins short, we concur that another look at the current tasks completed

Re: [HOT] Ecuador: Done and Validated tasks need work and review

Organising Mapathons to help in Ecuador and Japan is laudable, but the task at hand poses problems for somebody with a few years of experience like myself, so how do we expect total beginners to be able to do a good job? The first part of the solution: stop trying to sell the use of iD as "a good

Re: [HOT] OpenRouteService Disaster Map for Ecuador

Nice, but have you considered joining up with f.i. OSMand? Perhaps offline routing is more reliable in a crisis situation where first responders can download routing data in the basecamps and then use it during operations. I have got the feeling that now is a good time to drop the "not invented

[HOT] Ecuador: Done and Validated tasks need work and review

Friends, Poking around and looking at tasks marked Done and Validated in the Ecuador Activations in the last hour I discovered: Most tasks had building=house or they were not tagged at all but just empty areas. Few buildings were squared, and few were accurate tracings of the building.
