I would more than glad to post something in the talk-es too, to gather
some more mappers from the spanish-speaking community.
I see one handicap here for spanish would-be contributors: OSM Tasking
Manager is only in english.
It would be a very nice idea to have it translated in different
languages, with a menu on the top to choose your prefered language. I
offer myself to make the translation into spanish, through transifex or
any other means. And again, it would be important too to deploy an easy
way to translate the description, workflow... texts to different
languages, so we could reach more people.
Cheers,
Rafael Ávila Coya.

Joseph,
I will try to write a blog for these three activations during the weekend.
I already wrote to crisismappers distribution list and will write to
Talk and Talk-fr.
We should also try to be more public about these three activations. As
a start we should publish these activations in hotosm twitter and
facebook.
I agree that we should relay the information about these three
activations. Let's look at what we can do about this.

Hi all,
I'll publish a blog update on Monday that might encourage more
people to participate; in short, mapping products including osm
data are being provided to aid agencies working on the ground in
and around Syria. They look great and people are really thankful
that they can get osm data. A definite success story and we're
still in very early days!
Thinking of the three recent activations, could someone come up
with an overview post for the main osm blog? That should help our
profile within the osm community and will be the sort of thing
that could be disseminated to a wider audience. If nothing else we
might be able to gain some publicity off the back of the recent
MapMaker coverage.
Speaking of blogs, I think all us coordinators should be making a
real effort to publish regular updates. It's certainly something
I'm very conscious of.
In other news, we've just started organising a Syria mapping party
within our local osm group. Hopefully we'll get people involved
that are new to both HOT and osm. If anyone reading this is in
Oxford, come along! If you're not in Oxford organise your own
event! There's free HOT stickers and badges for any local groups
(once I've had them made...)
Thanks to everyone who is looking at the Task Manager and getting
jobs finished, it has a massive positive impact.
Happy Friday everyone! Joseph

Hi Pierre and Joseph
There are 5 Mali and 3 active Syria and 7 waiting Syria jobs
and it seems they are really important
When i am looking daily how many people are mapping for HOT, i
guess it will take a long time
you never thought of making little promotion to get more
active mappers?
i am mapping daily, but sometime it feels hopeless to finished
all of this jobs in a good time
and i think, that the people need this data soon (maybe i am
wrong and time is enough there)
Norman
