HI Folks, There have been a few emails and comments about training. Some people are creating training documents (You are awesome!) Building on Claire's and the Training Working Group's efforts, I woke up thinking about how to help some. Truly, the comments last night from Senior Mappers were important. I really think that we as a community can help the Activation with some ideas. To help with the collaborative training, I posted this Hackpad. It should be editable and viewable by all.* The goal would be to add this to the wiki and/or blog once more firm.
Collaborative Training Space: https://hackpad.com/HOT-Nepal-Training-Support-3GupUkChA1n (edit freely) *Some ideas:* 1. Training techniques - Tips for the Nepal Earthquake. Please add clear instructions 2 - 5 lines) how issue and how to fix common Edit errors for this response. First, we refer people first to the existing docs and videos. But quick tips will help learning. 1. Nepal New Mapper Task Force - Sometimes posting to a forum is hard. We highly recommend that you see the online training. The following contributors have offered to be the Nepal New Mapper Task Force. *If you are helper, please let your communication method (Email, skype, irc username) , timezone (eg. GMT +3) and hours of availability to help out. (add to the hackpad) * 1. Video help - We could create a quick google hangout/unhangout demo of all the top training tips. See details below. Needed: 2 - 3 volunteers on this. Heather can host the 30 minute discussion. Date and time to be determined. 2. Training Items being created - If you are working on training material, please add the link and /or your name + topic so that folks know this is covered by an awesome helper. 1.

The following contributors have offered to be the Nepal New Mapper Task Force. If you are helper, please provide your name, best communication method (Email, skype, irc username) , timezone (eg.

This would record to Youtube and help in the interim for new mappers until the training docs improve and, as Pierre mentioned, there were tool improvements. How a Google/Unhangout works: MIT set up Unhangout free and OS for those who dont use Google. I host frequent online interviews on Google Hangout. It records to Youtube. If there were 1-2 Senior mappers willing to assist, we could host it today or tomorrow for a 30 min session. This is instant video sharing showing issues with screens. Helpers: Suggested Date/Times 4. Training guides in the works. *I would have used a Google Doc but I know some people are not fans. ** an Unhangout provides a way for non-google users to join in a hangout.
