[Kate Chapman]

Hey HOTties,

Anyone need a place next week for the Crowdsource Mapping with UN-SPIDER?

Rob Baker and I have an AirBnB situation set-up for Sunday the 2nd
through Thursday the 6th.

If so let me know.

Best,

-Kate

Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma

[Kate Chapman]

Hi All,

If we are going to do report monitoring I would suggest we ask one of
our other partners for assistance since there are a couple that
specialize in such things.

Thanks,

-Kate

[Pierre Béland]

The job for Goma is online. see http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/97

OCHA reports that around 25,000 displaced people are in Sake from Goma. There 
is no highres Bing imagery for this area. Other imagery available?

Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma

[nicolas chavent]

Hey all

I am reaching out to some of the UN agencies active in DRC, and to GISers
or contacts that we have down there to get a good plan of actionl, will
update the list tomorrow

This will encompass
* Areas of Interest
* GPS tracks
* GIS data for imports
* imagery support and local groups
* specific needs

I think that asides of this interesting work on Bing, it would be great to
monitor the reports about East DRC in Relief Web and generate our awareness

We can definitively start setting up a job on Goma and start mapping there
since Bing is not bad over this town
We are planning in Senegal to have DRC as a red line and focus the efforts
of trainees on the TM in mapping this town and will call to help as well
Eurosha volunteers so that African OSM mappers can step in this crisis

My internet here is not good enough to set the job, can change tomorrow, if
anyone in the mean time feel comfortable doing this, this would be great

Best
Nicolas

Re: [HOT] Pakistan Anti-Mapping Legislation: Implications for HOT/OSM

[Harry Wood]

Hi Faisal.
It was nice to meet you briefly at the London Ushahidi meet-up a couple of 
weeks back. Sorry we didn't get to chat longer.

I took a look at the mapping progress in Rawalpindi, and it looks like you've 
been doing some great work. I was even able to check my imagery alignment using 
all the GPS traces you guys have been gathering. Great stuff!


So I'm sad to hear about these new laws halting your progress. Let us know if 
you can see anything HOT or OpenStreetMap organisations could do to help.

Harry Wood

We were doing on-ground mapping in Pakistan especially our TED prize winner

and are not updating open street map from Friday on-wards.  We are just 
pondering different options.

Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma

[Joseph Reeves]

Hi all,

Looking quickly at the Bing Image Analyser, Goma and some surrounding areas
are covered in high detail:

http://ant.dev.openstreetmap.org/bingimageanalyzer/?lat=-1.689891955079034&lon=29.226718902587876&zoom=11

I've not been able to find any coverage areas as shapefiles or equivalent,
however.

Does anyone have a good way of scripting usage of the Image Analyser? I've
previously scripted some checking of an area south of Goma, but it can't
have been the most efficient way of doing it: Scripting Firefox to open new
tabs until my PC ran out of memory wasn't too elegant.

Cheers, Joseph
