Best regards Neil From: Eugene Alvin Villar [mailto:sea...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, November 02, 2013 7:59 PM To: OpenStreetMap Philippines Subject: [talk-ph] State of the Map 2013 video of the FixMyBarangay presentation by ITP Hi guys, During the State of the Map 2013 held last September in Birmingham, UK, Neil Taylor of ITP presented their project called FixMyBarangay. Here's the abstract of the presentation: FixMyBarangay lets residents of Cebu city, in the Philippines, report potholes or broken streetlights to the authorities by text. A pilot project, funded by the World Bank, was implemented in 2013 by mySociety and ITP. It focusses on two barangays, or small districts, within Cebu and uses mySociety's FixMyStreet platform integrated with an SMS gateway. At the start of the project, OSM maps didn't cover all the small alleyways of the target areas, so ITP set up two mapping parties -- one for each barangay. People turned up, alleys got mapped. It turns out all it takes to map a community is a few locals with pens and paper, some GPS devices, and uncontainable Filipino enthusiasm. The aforementioned mapping parties happened last year on May 5 and May 12. Here's Neil's announcement to this mailing list: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/2012-May/003949.html Here's a recently uploaded video of Neil's presentation: https://vimeo.com/78426029 Maning, Rally, and I also met Neil and a few of his colleagues from ITP and also World Bank last year (May and October) to talk about the work done by World Bank and ITP in using open data such as OSM. If I remember correctly, their Metro Manila project directly resulted in the compilation of Metro Manila public transport routes and which resulted to the recently concluded Philippine Transit App Challenge: http://philippine-transit.hackathome.com/ Cheers!
