-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello again everyone,
We have recieved a very large section of imagery from the Humanitarian Information Unit (the HIU) which is a part of the US State Department. The imagery has been made available through their MapGive initiative to help fill in a large section of the area currently un-covered by the Bing imagery. Not only do we owe them our gratitude for providing this imagery, but they will also be promoting these tasks through the MapGive site as well which will bring us additional volunteers. This imagery grant is the first of two large areas that were shared with us through HIU, the second portion will be coming online in the coming days after the tile caches have been properly seeded. When that comes online a second TM task will be set up as well. The instructions are the same as before, roads buildings and landuse (residential landuse only though, not farmland forests etc). The data will be used for routing medical teams as well as geolocating field reports of illnesses and other issues such as security threats to ground teams, and locations of supplies and other equipment. The task manager job is at the URL below. Instructions for source and comment tags are in the TM, as well as the URL to the imagery (you will have to agree to the NextView imagery license before the imagery url shows up). http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/583 Once again, many thanks go out to the people at HIU and MapGive for setting this up for us. We are very proud of our volunteers and the mapping work that they do, but a large amount of unseen work has to be done behind the scenes to make that mapping possible. The HIU has been working on this for many days to make this happen and they did a great job. - -AndrewBuck -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJTwZwVAAoJEK7RwIfxHSXbJL4P/25Z8EMvYY3c94eup/QbOzR9 g+A/Z5r9QinD7eiUnuzwlMbg9GonlV0dYxaLZaVcNCZNmPNmPSKQ8928esyUgZy7 c4rtFt8qiWgFBB5jwDARsJVwRlgbgEFoVZ4OLaZRH7U3Zt0op1OZFzFBAO7jLa3T 2xco75ihRicSVDz6aIs/pyF8kGggjiogSOv/hL5Yzlp66VxNg1oRTBDootz+ZDYk w4CTQ8GxpABdZTV+NWavVIQuOek7rNL//4V2Ql3mNi/JSllS66XfHIlP//Rc4eY+ 62PFvRBJyxlNc3npLnshuo0VCODogfy8JncSbdvhyFpQKoryo6VPh3GM2bAYjlc8 2LgQWVsxmTgwbHddc7xFPLaSo95s5L2wcVwRFEVVVuHZOzCPLy+G4IZJG2J684AM chEMvqNpYJcwQxoGwvj2GMTCkoIoLhO319B7fJKyoB+ZjokGrR+aNHiGOHEeOqK1 LlyuIjr8Uto0aVsFSqoQ76T6qOIMdDl/Q/1Xt9Jp+wDAf6nmrYH7e4JDGgEKrNyE K1YIWpcm32JQXrUoIRJ2sUF8SvwYzANG2lWIsYm5x/cZ3Ql3+JlRcXAJVkciduyd HMrykKu+wmr7R01zevYtfPK+MduuG9baTQiGKFdLusc9uUrjrf/U3L5pIjQ0/eeO VMllbJ/+8SZs4RpA+87K =buMD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
