Hi folks, I'm based on Bantayan Island in Cebu and am very interested in helping promote OSM on the island and around the province. I had my first mapping intern start last Thursday, here for a one-month term. Organizing some volunteers and doing some training at one of the colleges here has been on my 'to-do' list for a few months, always put on the back burner because of other priorities.
As it happens, I'm doing a presentation on Thursday to the Bantayan Island Humanitarian Working Group about OSM, the Open Data Kit, and mapping and information management in general. Islamic Relief Worldwide and Philippines Red Cross, among others, are interested in this stuff but their teams here have virtually no experience with IM let alone mapping. I can also connect you with the PDRRMO office who can connect you with the municipal DRR offices across the province I haven't had a chance to put together my presentation yet. I don't suppose one of you has a solid introductory presentation that you'd recommend so I don't need to start from scratch? Please consider yourselves invited to come and visit us on beautiful Bantayan Island. If a more experienced trainer is available, I'll use that as an excuse and happily organize an audience for you with the MDRRM offices and local colleges. If you don't mind staying in a tent we can cover your accommodations and food during your stay. :) Cheers, Nick -- *Nick Brown* *Executive Director * *Young Pioneer Disaster Response* *Office:* +63 32 438 9607 *Cell:* +63 915 457 8801 *Skype:* nickbrown- ypdr.org <http://www.ypdr.org/> | donate <http://www.ypdr.org/donate> | email <nick.br...@ypdr.org> facebook <http://www.facebook.com/YPDRYPDR> | twitter <https://twitter.com/YoungPioneerDR/> | google+ <https://plus.google.com/+YpdrOrg> | linkedin <http://www.linkedin.com/company/young-pioneer-disaster-response> youtube <https://www.youtube.com/YPDRYPDR> | instagram <http://instagram.com/youngpioneerDR> | flickr <https://www.flickr.com/ypdr/> On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 10:32 AM, Mark Cupitt <markcup...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Maning, that's a cool map ... > > I am interested in trying to get some Visayan based people together to see > if we can encourage OSM in the communties here in some way. > > Anyone interested, please contact me via this list or privately at > markcup...@gmail.com > > Cheers > > mark > > > > > _______________________________________________ > talk-ph mailing list > talk-ph@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph > >
