I intend to re-do this how-to I made in answer to a question on this
list a little while back:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=042TbopS7HM
It was done without much preparation and to answer some specific
questions so it needs some adjustments (and I make a mistake in mapping
if you look closely), but I think it is close to what you are talking
about for a quick description of mapping buildings.
It also uses iD as that is what the person who asked the question used
and it is what most new mappers will be using.
There should be one like it for JOSM as well which I will do.
I will also do a second one about roads in each editor.

Blake

So the fantasy would be a simple screen cast video using something like
HOT task 690 http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/690 since it uses the high
resolution satellite imagery, Kevin Bullock's presentation
http://vimeo.com/91880883 covers why this type is best to work from, the
interesting bit starts 5 mins in to the presentation, locally there have
been some clean up issues with lower resolution satellite imagery and
mentioning the use of the JOSM building plug in as mentioned by Tom
Taylor

To come back to the original topic I think you need an overview,
starting perhaps with a couple of interviews from two or three AID
agencies about why the OSM maps are important to them and how they are
used. Then flip to the sources of data which are made free to use such
as DigitalGlobe, UN place names, and finally a few mappers putting it
altogether. Given that the maps are useful perhaps Unicef or someone
might have some resources for this? Or the BBC?

Hi John,
There are a few videos out there, but I don't know of too many
recent ones. You are right a simple screencast showing how to map a
building for example would be really helpful. I made some videos in
2010 about mapping from imagery in Haiti and people really enjoyed
them.
Having updated ones would be great.
Best,

Talking of videos are there any training videos about what HOT
expects?
The reason I ask is that although we break down to give tasks
can we break it down even more. ie teach someone to do a simple
task of map a building using high resolution satellite imagery,
sounds dumb but map one in JOSM, q it to square it, tag it
building=yes, select, <Crtl>c move the mouse to another <crtl>v,
adjust the four corners, q again etc.
The concept is we can teach people to map buildings on You-tube,
its simple and has value.
Another would teach people how to recognise a road and to tag it
or highway=path.
We may need expertise to map things like water bodies, rivers,
streams and forests but buildings and footpaths in Africa are
probably 80% of what needs to be mapped and you don't need a
degree in GIS to do this. Let's delegate what we can.

Hi All,
Is there a video you think best represents our work? Most
videos seem to focus on one project or are a talk at a
conference. Do we have anything that is less specific?
Thanks,
