Dear HOT-community, It is important to show the *outcomes* HOT has leveraged. This helps us for the inspiration of people and organizations about the possibilities of Open Data for humanitarian activities and also for our fund-raising efforts.
We usually communicate results as news on the website, such as statistics of activations (how many mappers participated, how much data was collected, what extend was mapped, how many people effected, ...) and this is good! But we also want to show *tangible outcomes*, to answer the questions, what this data has been used for. Especially our partners, or communities that used the collected open data to produce impacts and products based on the data. Therefore I've created a showcases section on the website: https://hotosm.org/showcases Unfortunately there aren't a lot of good examples, yet, and I'd like to invite everybody who has a story to share to contribute to this effort. Once we have good content there I'll link the showcases to be visible on the website's general pages. If you have an account on the website (which you should have as a HOT member) you can add a new showcase by visiting this link: https://hotosm.org/node/add/showcase In case you don't have the permissions to do so, or you don't have an account but want to contribute with a showcase, please write me in private. Please try to make it short, visual (pictures!) and convincing. Thank you! Best, Felix
