We had a thing called "HOT chats" a while ago:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Humanitarian_OSM_Team/HOT_Chats
In fact records indicate we didn't do one of these since 2012. Can't believe
it's been that long. Obviously we've had a load of IRC meetings since then, but
never a general HOT community gathering like this. I quite liked them, I've
been meeting to get the HOT chats happening again.
So I hope you don't mind Tyler, I've listed these two meetings on that page. I
know it sounds a bit casual to call this a "HOT chat" and I think this
particular meeting will be a more directed a purposeful, but I'm also hoping it
can be a re-start of more regular IRC meetings (and we should try a mumble HOT
chat too some time)

Interim Executive Director
Meeting 1: Tuesday 19 May 15:30 UTC via IRC (chat)

UTC [Look for meeting details early next week]
Dear HOT Community,
Over the past two and a half weeks, you have made an incredible difference in
Nepal. By many measures, the HOT community response has arguably been larger
than any in the past -- averaging close to 1 million map edits and 1000
contributors per day in the first 10 days. I personally feel very proud, and
also humble, to be surrounded by such an intelligent and committed team
supported by dedicated partners.
I'd like to invite you to participate in a series of community meetings next
week. The meetings will serve as dedicated time to answer questions you may
have for me or for HOT in general. The past two and half weeks have not been
without challenges, and by coming together, we can discuss ways to overcome
these challenges and improve the services we provide.
As we proceed with our work in the weeks ahead, we should continue to be guided
by our core humanitarian mission: to serve as a bridge between the
OpenStreetMap community and humanitarian responders on the ground. Our role is
one of service, and through this service we have the very real ability to
contribute to saving and improving the lives of disaster survivors. My role is
also service to you - to help enable you to more effectively carry out this
mission. Kindly join us next week for either meeting, and I look forward to
talking with you then.
With warm regards,
Tyler RadfordInterim Executive Directoremail: [email protected].
