Hi Stacey,
Your list shows a good description of what should be the most useful. About
the zones to cover, you can start with this zone, and later enlarge the zone to
cover if this seems necessary.
Thhe challenge is more to geolocate and record properly the info from the field
once the mapping is completed from aerial imagery. For this, it is important to
establish a good workflow for the field people to follow and the follow-up /
validation of this work. And consider that many contributors might be less
techy, with less mapping experience.
The FieldPapers let's record information with only a sheet of paper and JOSM
plugins facilitate editing from scanned image of these FieldPapers.
Offline smartphone applications such as OSMAnd, OSMTracker (navigate, edit) and
Mapilary (geolocated photos with azimuth that indicate the direction) are quite
promizing innovations. These tools have been tested in the field with the
various missions an there are tutorials that are written on these. Jorieke
would have a lot to share with us on this.
The distance is less important nowadays, but it has to be planned that people
meet in a place with a good internet bandwith. Google Hangout and Skype Screen
sharing let's organize videoconferences, discuss and exchange. For the Haiyan
Activation, Andrew Buck organized a seminar with the Heideberg University. For
the Ebola Activation, Blake Girardot, Andrew Buck and myself had a
videoconference with high schools students in Columbia.

Objet : Re: [HOT] Request for help/guidance on a project to test diarrheal
disease interventions in Kendua Sub-District, Bangladesh.
Thanks all. Here is the Umap for our pilot study area:
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/kendua_27641#11/24.6913/90.7841, as I
understand from Eric, patients arrive at the subdistrict medical center from
within the Kendua District, but I wonder if there might be some spillover from
adjacent subdistricts (also, please correct my admin boundary terminology, if
necessary), based upon travel times. TO account for that, it might make sense
to work on a slightly larger envelope than Kendua.
Yes, I agree on the building footprints being secondary. Our primary objective
is to build a map that will provide a familiar enough reference for local
health care workers and family members to identify the home village/community
of the patients, without being present at the location, as care will be
primarily given outside of the home community. Obviously, roads, paths and
probably (I am only guessing as I have never been to Bangladesh) water courses
would be most important for reference. I have seen some HOT jobs identifying
"residential or populated" areas, which might also be useful, short of building
footprints. In our discussions, we identified schools, places of worship,
markets, etc... as other landmarks that might help users orient. So if we move
to creating building footprints, those would be of primary importance. We are
also interested in the locations of pharmacies, and clinics/hospitals and other
healthcare points of service.
Finally, and I know this one would require people on the ground with GPS, it
would be incredibly useful to identify drinking water facilities/sources.
Mikel suggested establishing an OSM Bangla Skype Group to coordinate. I've just
logged into my Skype account for the first time in years, so it is active. I
will make sure I have a Skype client installed on all of my machines by
tomorrow. My Skype= stacey.maples
Again, this response is fantastic. Thanks so much.

Hi Stace and Eric,
Pete is talking about the same people as I did to you before. Some of our
Bangladesh mappers are now also on this list... But I will sent you a follow up
mail on this. Further I like very much your idea, and would like to give you
some input. Talking out of my experience; to trace patients, not necessarily
all buildings are needed in the first phase. To track patients the main
important this is to be able to locate people. So this means collecting locally
used neighbourhood names, locally used street names, and landmarks used by the
people. Buildings are in my view then a second step. I don't know how big the
area is you're focused on? Maybe you can quickly point it on a Umap for us?
Fingers crossed, for good imagery in the area of interest... Also I was
thinking it might be good to set up an OSM Bangla Skype group to try to
coordinate all the upcoming projects a little bit. Lastly there was also
interest of Terre des Hommes, the American Red Cross is going to do more things
in spring,... So we can coordinate a bit and share resources and thoughts on
mapping in the very particular context of Bangladesh. Please let me know if you
are interested in this.
Best greetings,
Jorieke

Hi Stace, I have just come back from Dhaka (literally on Thursday), where we
were working with the local OSM community to map two areas, Kamrangirchar and
Hazaribagh, for the Missing Maps project. We worked with between 10-30
volunteers of varying skills each day for two weeks. They are a smart and
enthusiastic bunch and most said they planned to keep mapping anyway. They all
have experience in using field papers and surveys and Osmand, and most have at
least a days experience using JOSM to edit / upload.I have email addresses and
phone numbers if you want them or you can contact them via the OpenStreetMap
Bangladesh Facebook page.There are also a number of very experienced mappers /
OSM focused GIS people I can put you in touch with directly.Let me know what
you think...Cheers,PeteOn 30 Jan 2015 21:38, "Stacey Maples"

All,
I'm working with a faculty member studying the efficacy of mobile app based
interventions, who needs detailed street and building footprints for his pilot.
He is working in the Kendua sub-district of Bangladesh, initially, and needs
data for health workers to use to identify cholera patients homes/home village,
pharmacies, etc... I've pasted his abstract, below. If he finds efficacy, he
will likely expand the project to other sub-districts. We are wondering several
things:
First, what is the process to have a project added to the Task Manager?
Second, do you happen to currently have mappers in this area who could work on
this?
Finally, we may be able to obtain gps traces from food delivery drivers to
upload to OSM. It would be great to have a training for them if there are
mappers in the area, or in Dhaka who would be willing to travel. Wondering who
to contact about the possibility of that (I know bulk uploads are frowned upon
unless coordinated with OSM).
Thanks in advance for your time, I've pasted the abstract for the project,
below my signature.

Leveraging mobile technology to improve clinical outcomes and scientific
research of the second leading cause of childhood death: diarrheal disease
Abstract
Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death among children under 5
years of age globally. We are specifically interested in the diarrheal disease
cholera because of the devastating impact the disease has on at-risk
populations and the emerging opportunities to leverage mobile technology to
overcome fundamental clinical, epidemiologic, and scientific challenges.
Despite effective treatments and advances in provider education, cholera case
fatality rates remain unacceptably high. Conventional methods have been unable
to overcome barriers to provide patients timely access to care in resource-poor
settings. This is especially true early in outbreaks because response teams are
slow to mobilize and cholera can infect, transmit and kill in less than 20
hours. Our research challenge is to take an unconventional approach to develop
a new method using mobile technology to identify outbreak clusters early,
improve care, and advance our basic understanding of the disease. The specific
aims of this project are to (i) develop mobile technology for clinical decision
support and real-time epidemiology, (ii) test the mobile-technology and
determine microbial correlates to disease progression at the hospital level,
and (iii) test the mobile-technology and determine microbial correlates to
disease progression at the community level. We chose to develop and test this
strategy in partnership with the Ministry of Health of Bangladesh at a site
with high cholera morbidity and relatively high mortality. We anticipate this
NIH funded research will provide an exciting cross-departmental forum for
collaboration and training, as well as a pathway to discovery that will
directly benefit populations inflicted with diseases like cholera.
