Hi Jorieke,
I just spoke to Jaakoh and Andrew on Mumble, and I am happy to talk to
the BBC (as a very new person to HOT and OSM). Not sure how they want to
do it, but if you are happy for them to talk to me, feel free to pass my
e-mail address on.
I am based in South Africa, if that has any bearing on their decision.

Hi Mathias and all,
You are absolutely right! And indeed we are making gps traces, and we
will
try to upload some of them tonight!
Also another thing, we are looking for somebody who already
participated in
the Tasking Manager or other support to us, who wants to be
interviewed for
BBC! This morning we got here a visit of a BBC journalist. And to
complete
the story and show the collaboration between Congo and the rest of
the
world they would love to interview also a remote mapper, yes out of
the UK!
So if you are the one we are looking for, please contact me as soon
as
possible!
Best,
Jorieke

Hello Jorieke,
looks like the mapping is making progress.Very well.
I mapped a few tasks my self, based on the Bing images.
Here is a related request:
In Lubumbashi there are still very few GPS traces.
It would be great if you could record some GPS tracks while you are
in the
area and load them onto the OSM server.
Most mapping is based on satelite images. That has a lot of detail.
But the experience has shown, that it is important to check that the
satelite images have a correct alignment without any offset.
Looking forward to your traces.
Keep up the good work.
Regards, Mathias
