Over the last year, HOT with the support of the OSM community has made the
difference in many countries, responding to humanitarians in imergency
contexts. Just to name a few, we have made the difference in Democratic
Republic of Congo, Mali, Syria, Central African Republic. And finally, for the
Philippines Haiyan Typhoon, we were able to deliver paper maps in 10 days,
including in many areas the damaged buildings. Look at the medias were the
humanitarian community says how OSM has made the difference.
We work in a stressful context and need support. For some of you, that dont
follow closely our work, it make look that we dont respect rules. We see that
in every orgnization. You have some work can you can plan for years. Other
tasks were you need a lot of reactivity and flexibility. Instead of general
critics saying we do not follow the rules, we would prefer that people propose
us concrete solutions adapted to this context.
This give me the opportunity to thank the many developpers that permitted
success of Haiyan Activation. They came with concrete propositions and realized
them rapidly.
When you manage a crisis, you dont plan the same way as you do for long term
projects. We need propositions that are adapted to this reality and support us
in our action.

if the import is not done nicely and the data or tagging has issues, there will
also be few benefit (it might even harm to have some kind of problematic data
or errors online rather than having nothing)
cheers,
