>Hi,

>Nicolas and I would like to find ways to facilitate connections between global
>mappers and new communities in the developing countries. We thought about
>starting a HOT tutorship program in which active members from the community
>would make contact with the emergent communities we helped or will help to
>start:
>
> * the communities in Haiti and Kenya and the rising one in Senegal
> * the future ones in the African countries (Cad, Burundi and Central
> Republic of Africa, as well as Kenya) concerned by the EUROSHA program that
> will start in October, to support both the program volunteers and the OSM
> community they will aim for creating
>
>Experienced mappers could provide a great support regarding OSM techniques,
>remote mapping, imagery setting, quality assurance, communication (OSM
>wikipages, social media, etc.). Of course on a voluntary basis, according to
>their chosen field and kinship towards such or such country.
>
>Basically, this would be a different approach of what is done so far through
>OSM lists where the help/advices are often limited to a specific request. Here
>both sides would be presented, the local communities through their story,
>members, skills, and project(s) and the tutorsthrough their background and
>their OSM experience.
>So far it is a general idea for which we would like that the HOT community
>provide creative inputs to sketch it in more details. I will create an OSM
>Wikipage as a starting point so that everyone can contribute.
