Nicolas, I have been in contact with some MapAction folks recently & may be able to contribute a HOT/OSM section to the following course: http://www.rgs.org/OurWork/Fieldwork+and+Expeditions/GO+seminars+and+workshops/Humanitarian+Mapping+course.htm
I am sure others on this list will have links with MapAction also, so this might be an opportunity for us to collaborate & create some HOT/OSM relevant content for their processes. I am unsure how much they will use, but early indications from the member i have spoken with with are that they would be very keen to use some input from us.
