-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone,
Over the last several days a huge effort has been put forth by the remote mappers to map portions of the city of Lubumbashi. The mapping there was in support of a ground survey organized by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and using local volunteers to help do the actual surveying. Over the past several days about 15 people have been out surveying the areas we have been tracing. They have scanned in some of their fieldpapers results and sent them back to us to be entered into OSM as survey data. There are approximately 200 pages in total with about 5 to 10 street and POI names on each page. Due to various factors the scans are not suitable to be uploaded to the fieldpapers website in the normal fashion but the data is still useable non the less. I will put up a table listing each if the atlases that were filled out. What we need people to do is to mark an atlas as being worked on by them, go through each scanned page and copy the information (street names and POI data) into OSM as best you can. If you are unable to input any of the recorded data please leave a note about what page and what data has not been entered so that the local mappers can go back over and fill in the missing bits from the original papers. The table listing the PDF's to be processed will be at the address below (it will take me some time to put it together so just monitor the page over next hours and jump in anytime you want). https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lubumbashi Thank you for all your help so far and for your continued help with these scans. This is a really unique opportunity for our organization to get good ground level survey data so let us make the most of it and try to learn what we can about how to improve this process in the future. - -AndrewBuck -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTL3JAAAoJEK7RwIfxHSXbYPQP/iL4+auQ6+Ls6lHQ5Q7FS2yn PQdk0toUZU18FDq7FnR9JUVvQQGjFYa6a9uGR+IaVfhanARyzw6O5huEeSoazT/6 ObV/EgjXtGUsXAG4jZMvfsgfO6zbyr1PWD1qQOcWjjEQ58Cow3U0vmqWywh5qI/N M0wvQLSWqYuNQOL00v7/BNRKfKPk+zVLEMyBV+FYI2edrLOGVs05kYWhI9okwa2o jHD4n1ICg2fOD+omlQF5z9R+i7Gh0dw4GbIO7csH4TxpuCTwsMW0hgMFusRNUy1Q 9fHPPEZhyUZQ/gJ8f26GmaAw+lsj6fCfX1gM97LmRfU7Vc9unMIFpHxuDmEllIXt AreCFgbpirvmSqdeLtYEq/OFZKNlMmXsxm6KjKzBm8HvndTp+tR7y5p0u/M9Pl9k 8aTDKjrMcXs8zs20XslPAHFKvuP35bL0FVCwl6pAjmTjGM4Vh7PnHI48JtgPM7Qm m3gBf3w0PRvCSBmiwCJkx1DYBRrt7O7g+ZXgJy/W9TxJZP3LJA0s8ywJi59Ng7z8 W1FDb+JXTZ0Vjgt4faL4CSMKhBWcLdfzwJ/pci8/dD5YJL1ogRCyE1E8uisxLs3G qJSa61IMOHof5c0Nc11op1Fc6DT+kiYdhr5Q7OlCrqsX6pLNzKPknJMI0LFHM4xc 64fNSxY36phqdxBXwpGy =3H+Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
