Thanks a lot for setting this up Andrew!

Here we are starting with a new (and sadly my last) field day!

Al the best and thanks all for this great collaboration!

 Just a quick followup to my last message so you have a bit more
 context on what is being done here.  The twitter timelines below show
 a bunch of pictures of the surveying team over the last several days.
  The survey is being led by Jorieke from OSM and Ivan from MSF.

 https://twitter.com/Zjwarie

 https://twitter.com/ivangayton

 If you are a twitter user you should follow them as there will likely
 be many more interesting photos over the days and weeks to come.  The
 most intense portion of the survey and mapping in this area is
 beginning to wind down, however the local mappers who did the survey
 plan to continue surveying and mapping in the future with the current
 plan being to have a mapping party every couple of weeks.

 Everyone involved in the project has been really excited about the
 work that the OSM community has done so far in helping to support this
 survey project.  Thank you again to all those who have contributed so
 far, and to those who will contribute in the days to come.

[HOT] Ebola in Conakry, Guinea

2014-03-24 Thread Rod Bera

Hi all,

Is there a way we can assist on this one?
The virus has now reached Conakry. As far as I recall it's the first 
time the disease finds its way to such a populated area...

2014-03-24 Thread Russell Deffner
Rod,

If there is a way we can provide aid, then yes!  I am not familiar with
either the area or the disease, so not much help there; but - typically we
might assist the local mapping community (if there is one) with remotely
tracing the area from available imagery.  If there isn't a local community,
HOT can discuss and potentially provide a remote coordinator - to get HOT
coordinators on the ground typically requires a partner organization to
contact us (i...@hotopenstreetmap.org) for assistance.

If you are from the area/concerned for personal interest, I would first ask
if you know the quality of the map data in the area and if there is any OSM
community there/how best to reach out; then we can work out specifics -
really we just need to know our efforts are actually needed (i.e. people in
need of aid will receive benefit from whatever we do).

Thank you,

[HOT] Tasking Manager - service update - request limitation

2014-03-24 Thread Dražen Odobašić
Hi,

we recently had kinda like DDOS attack from the IP subnet 197.239.66.0 which
resulted in a temporary unavailability of the http://tasks.hotosm.org/ around
11:20 CET.

To help maintain service availability we introduced a limit of 10 requests per
second per single IP address. This should not impact normal service usage.

In the case you see a HTTP 503 response - Service Unavailable, please report it
as soon as possible.

Hi,

MSF is working on this crisis:
http://reliefweb.int/report/guinea/ebola-epidemic-declared-guinea-msf-launches-emergency-response

Considering our growing partnerships with them, I would advice to contact
them to know how we could help them the best we can. The report does not
mention which MSF branch is in the field (FYI, it is the normal way MSF
communicates, there are separate entities but working on the same goals). I
know people from MSF Spain and MSF France through CAR Activation, I will
ask them.

[HOT] FW: International Services - Special Event Brown Bag Lunch Learn - April 3

2014-03-24 Thread Russell Deffner
Next month’s topic may be the one I felt the most queasy about while reading so 
far…

Subject: International Services - Special Event Brown Bag Lunch  Learn - April 
3

 

International Services is proud to present a special edition of the Brown Bag 
Lunch  Learn series. This special edition topic will focus on the experiences 
of Dr. Christos Giannou, former International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) 
chief surgeon. The series is open to the public, but RSVPs are requested, so 
feel free to disseminate. 

“War Surgery”

OVERVIEW

The Red Cross’ humanitarian mission protects the lives and the dignity of 
victims of armed conflict and provides them with assistance. When armed 
conflicts prevent societies from providing the basic health care that the 
wounded need, the Red Cross assists. This assistance may be furnished through 
the provisions of medicines, training, equipment, staff, or the Red Cross may 
organize independent hospitals.

Surgery for victims of armed conflict is different than that practiced for 
civilian injuries. War surgeons need a breadth of skills to effectively treat 
all forms of injuries. As a result of armed conflict, health care systems may 
be weakened or nearly non-functional. Water and electricity may be unreliable. 
Trained staff may have fled. Medical supplies cannot be replaced and buildings 
may be destroyed. The war wounded can still be treated with good results, if 
medical staff has the necessary knowledge and motivation.

LOGISTICS

Date:  Thursday, April 3, 2014

Location:  American Red Cross, 444 Sherman Street, Denver, CO 80203

Room: Auditorium

Time: 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm (Mountain Time Zone)

SPEAKER’S BIOGRAPHY

Christos Giannou is a Greek-Canadian war surgeon and former chief surgeon for 
the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Giannou’s career has led 
him to many of today’s armed conflict areas including: Afghanistan, Chechnya, 
Iraq, Lebanon, Liberia and Somalia. Initially trained as a cancer surgeon, 
Giannou developed specialized expertise in war surgery.

During the siege of the Palestinian refugee camp Shatila, he served as a 
surgeon and his experience there is documented in his book Besieged: A Doctor’s 
Story of Life and Death in Beirut (1991). In 1996, Giannou used his skills at 
the surgical hospital built by the ICRC in Novye Atagi, Chechnya, where 
thousands of war victims were treated.

Giannou’s career of providing humanitarian services in conflict zones has been 
accounted for in the documentary On the Border of the Abyss and was aired by 
the Canadian television station TVO under the title War Surgeon: Chris Giannou. 
Additionally, Giannou is the lead author of the ICRC published book, War 
Surgery. (Attached via link below)

In 1991, he was inducted as a member of the Order of Canada. Currently, Giannou 
resides in Greece and works for the Medical School of the Kapodistrian 
University of Athens.

Hi,

This is awesome, I feel that with both of you Mark and Nadeem, there will
be a great balance between will, experience, local knowledge and
availability and a great mentor with Andrew! I am on IRC if ever needed.
Maybe we can discuss all together (I mean on this list) about how to make
the data produced used as much as possible by the relief organizations. I
worked in the past for WHO in Islamabad, so I can trigger this channel.
Nadeem are you based in Pakistan?

Regarding the TM experience, maybe you can start your first ones in the TM
dev instance?

Sincerely,

Severin

Re: [HOT] Ebola in Conakry, Guinea

2014-03-24 Thread Rod Bera

Hi Russ,

Thank you for your answer. I agree there is always a way to improve the 
quality of geometry and basic tagging (building=yes).


But I feel this crisis has something specific: no destruction of 
infrastructure (which is quite limited on the heath side btw), virulent 
epidemic (80%ish mortality within a week) threatening a 1.5M city.


Here the main needs are more (imo) on accurate and comprehensive tagging 
(dispensaries, hospitals, other relevant infrastructures, facilities, 
and amenities), which requires on-field knowledge, and response time 
(the slightest delay in action can yield thousands of extra 
contaminations...)


Another potentially important element to account for is restriction of 
movement and quarantines, which can complicate the gathering of needed 
information (except for medical NGOs on-site, e.g.  MSF. Needless to say 
they'll have more urgent tasks to complete than mapping/tagging).


Ultimately the question is about how HOT can contribute on this kind of 
crisis (and should HOT do so after all, if we find out we can't make a 
noticeable difference)?


regards,

Rod

Re: [HOT] Ebola in Conakry, Guinea

2014-03-24 Thread Russell Deffner
You are welcome, and thank you Rod!  It is important to discuss how we can
assist, especially when it was not obvious to me how HOT would be able.

My main point is something that we have discussed previous, and has been
'sidelined' temporarily, is our process - it was the activation working
group's stance that we did not want to prevent people from bringing forward
these ideas; on the contrary, we want to empower folks to just pick up these
stories and present them in a way that we can quickly figure out the best
way to assist.

Are you on Mumble yet?  Jump on - I'll be there after a bit, but other folks
hang out that could help talk through 'activations'/HMPs.

field (FYI, it is the normal way MSF communicates, there are
separate entities but working on the same goals). I know
people from MSF Spain and MSF France through CAR Activation, I

 simultaneously looking for high resolution imagery to facilitate the work.

Do you already have a source, or is this something you are also looking for 
assistance with?

Hello all,
 
In order to support MSF-CH in their work in Guinea for the Ebola epidemic, we 
would need to digitalise 3  cities:
 
Gueckedou (most Urgent)
Macenta
Kissedougou.
 
Please find AOI attached.
 
We would like to request the support  of OSM community to do so. We are 
simultaneously looking for high resolution imagery to facilitate the work.
 
Thanks in advance,

 Audrey,
 
 I will create a task manager job for Gueckedou right away and
 begin shifting people there immediately.  It would be good if you
 could install the mumble program and join us to discuss this in
 more detail via voice communication.  Mumble can run on Mac,
 windows, or linux, and there are clients available for android or
 mumble phones as well (these apps are probably the easiest way to
 install the program.

Hi Everyone,

We've created a task using Landsat-8 imagery to get the basemapping
started. With the Landsat-8 imagery itisn't really possible to map
buildings, but we can get a head start on populated areas and roads.

Here is the link: http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/463

Tasking Manager Admins please feel free to improve the task if you see
improvements that can be made.

Thanks,

-Kate
