Hey all- The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) has been working as a contractor of the World Bank (WB) on the HaitiData.org Initiative<http://haitidata.org/>. This initiative is about creating capabilities to foster the use, the sharing and the processing and visualization of geodata in Haiti. It relies on a website, www.haitidata.org (a Geonode instance) built and launched in June 2011 to provide a tool for sharing and visualizing this data and provide insights into natural hazard risk. One portion of the work of HOT in this project is to upload in haitidata.org Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)-related data that has been produced in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake and collected through various missions of another project funded by the WorldBank (“NatHat” project). We need help accomplishing this. Below are the required qualifications for this work which will start in the course of next week and go through February 2012. Note that this will be part time job and short term. Great if anyone interested in this project can email [email protected] and pass along a resume. 23-Dec will be the last day to submit application.
