Hi, In August had been published positions regarding a project funded by the World Bank ICT to support the mapping of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The initial goal is to work with Capital city authorities and university students to map one pilot area in the city, before an eventual mapping of the entire city in the future. By having a detailed basemap additional applications will be built on top of OpenStreetMap for citizens to track things such as services. It was supposed to start in late August, but has actually been delayed, but will finally start from next week until mid-November. I will lead this field activity with Russell Deffner who has been selected for the Junior Coordinator Position. Russell is highly experimented in Disaster and Emergency Services as a former firefighter, a rewarded American Red Cross volunteer in Mile High Region (CO), as well as in Spatial Information Management Systems for ARC or private companies. He has also been training different categories of people, from children to elders in emergency or IT topics. Last but not least, Russell is an enthusiastic, huge contributor in OSM and HOT remote activities. Russel and I will keep you informed about how the project is running through blog posts and twits, and we might also ask for some technical advice and support. Excited to be there - even if the expected temperature will be far from the tropical standards I am used to for a few years!
Sincerely, Severin
