Dear everyone, As most of you know, ESSC [0] the Institute, I work for has been actively using and supporting OpenStreetMap in the Philippines. Specifically, we implemented a LGU capacity-building using OSM for DRR in Pampanga. Another support we provided over the years was the use of our office facilities for OSM related events.
This year, we intend to continue to work with the OSM-PH community in using OSM data in several of our mapping engagements. We are still in the conceptualization and planning stage, but what I can tell you is that we will continue contributing OSM data and tools in our DRR related projects in Central Luzon, Eastern Visayas and Mindanao. Our priority is for local DRR stakeholders to use and contribute to OSM to enhance its DRRM capacity. As always, we will try to engage both the local community (we are engage with) and of course, this awesome volunteer community. If there are any specific concerns over how we use OSM data (copyright issues, bad edits, undiscussed tagging), please let us know. cheers, Maning In behalf of ESSC [0] http://essc.org.ph _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
