Hi Felix,
Great initiative! It's a question I often get, and thus information I
have been looking for at times. Will try to write up a convincing case
study for MapUganda and Ramani Huria shortly. You probably had a look at
the Press/Recognition folder on the drive already (there's an article
from the Canadian Armed Forces on Nepal there, Guardian one on MM)?And
we could request some of our partners to write up a case study? I know
some of them have amazing case studies of OSM data interacting with
their field ops (you may already have set this in motion as well ;)
best,
Paul

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
