Hello, everyone. This is just a short introductory note... My name is Craig Hartel, and I live in Dawson Creek, BC Canada. I am married to a Cebuana from Cebu City and I have family and friends there. I am a geomatics technician, working for the government of BC with the Ministry of Forests. I have been in the mapping field since 1992.
My work has mostly centred around resource inventories and the issuance of tenures for road building and other resource development. I have a great love for the Philippines and I am eager to help with the mapping efforts. I would guess it would be logical for me to start in the Cebu City / Talisay City area as those are where I am most familiar. While new to OSM, I hope to quickly learn how to use the available tools and contribute in a meaningful way. I also have contacts in Cebu who have GPS units who have stated that the would collect data points whenever they can. I've joined the OSM - Philippines member list already, and I would love to hear you recommendations for the best tool set(s) to use for mapping purposes. Any advice you have would be appreciatively received. Salamat po! Craig.
