This is a really interesting area re. ethnography and visualisation, and
directly affects how locals perceive what they are mapping, not to
mention the ethical perspectives of 'colonial gaze'. Would love to see
careful discussion on this. Thanks for the idea.

Thank you so much for proposing this, I think this would be well worth
organising! It’s an opportune moment as well to set some basic expectations.
With other communities I’ve experienced that as they mature they can develop a
greater resistance against outside researchers, often as a result of bad
experiences. Maybe there’s an opportunity to articulate early what a healthy
researcher/community relationship can look like. I’ve some experiences from
this and other communities I can share.
(I also sent you an email off-list.)

Hi all,
I'm thinking about submitting a panel proposal for the HOT Summit on academic
partnerships with HOT. Potential topics for discussion could include research
ethics, opportunities for documenting HOT's efforts, and the kinds of questions
that the HOT community would see benefit from having academic investigation
into.
There is tremendous scholarly interest in OpenStreetMap these days and HOT is
an important reason for that. I think it could be useful for us as a community
to articulate what partnership with academic researchers might look like and
what we might hope to gain from this.
If you have interest in participating in this panel or just have thoughts that
you would like to see covered, please drop me a line here or off-list. Look
forward to seeing everyone at the Summit.
Thanks!
Robert
