Sam Thanks for sharing this. This adds to the long relationship built up with MapAction by some of us prior the creation of HOT. Asides of a continuous dialogue, the joint deploy to Haiti in March 2010, Jerry and Nick from OSM-UK attended one of their Simulation Exercise and without Japan we would have welcomed some of their folks in Beg Meil (France) for the Humanitarian Mapping Party this WE.
Would be great to develop from the series of HOT Field Guides, training frameworks, support materials for HOT lectures in Academic materials that could feed in MA capacity building package with the view of having them working as closely as possible with/within OSM in their preparation and on the ground work.: * their Guides; discussion on-going * their Course; dicsusion to be started * their exercises; on-going Next steps there will be joint review of the next release of our guides and other relevant materials and identification of the blocks relevant to feed such a course Ciao Nicolas On Wed, Mar 23, 2011 at 9:54 AM, Sam Larsen <[email protected]> wrote: > 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.
