Re: [HOT] A week in Lubumbashi

2014-04-02 Thread nicolas chavent

Hi Jorieke,

Thank for your email to the list, your thorough blog posts about how your
week fit into what was already built around OSM in DRC over the past year
thanks to Pierre and Claire hard wrok and how it opens up new avenues and
territories for OSM in 2014 with MSF UK their University partners in
Lubumbashi and the local mappers born in OSM the past weeks.

Let's all keep up this excellent piece of glocal collective and open field
work in DRC.

Excellent day to all
Nico

Re: [HOT] A week in Lubumbashi

2014-04-02 Thread Jorieke Vyncke

Hi Heather, hi folks,

Thanks a lot for sending my post to the mailing list, Heather. It was
indeed a fantastic experience for me as well!
Further I would love to thank everybody again for the huge support from
everywhere in the world! Tonight I was skyping with two of the Congolese
mappers, and they go on with their data collection. They could mannage a
bigger room as office space and are looking now how to optimize their own
work in Lubumbashi and the bigger province of Katanga, and they are as well
looking how they can contribute to other mapping projects by the Tasking
Manager. So a promising sequel...

And in addition, some pictures of our field work in Lubumbashi!
https://www.flickr.com/photos/122157964@N04/sets/72157643320371505/

Thanks again for all the support for this brand new community!

All the best,

Jorieke

Thanks Bruno and Mapbox to provide this imagery for Mamou. This will let us 
support CartONG - MSF Switzerland and IFRC / Red Cross with this activation in 
Western Africa.

I created a new Task Manager job to map Mamou in detail and we invite 
contributors to map in detail.

Thanks Sylvie

This will help have better population estimates since it removes important 
surfaces as habitations.

And thanks to MSF for this message.  Seeing images of the Geckedou temporary 
hospital, makes me think how important it is for our community to accompany MSF 
and IFRC in this humanitarian action.

Hi Everyone,

Two more things from field : 

- Regarding population: huts are build with bamboo/wood and only used for 
shadow during day and sometimes for storage. In both villages and urban aera.

- "A big THANK YOU from the emergency team in Gueckedou and Macenta to all of 
you guys in HOT/OSM! 
Your work speed and quality was far beyond our expectations. MapsKits are 
already distributed to the field teams and received an enthousiastic welcome 
from our staff, both international and local. As people carry on fighting 
against Ebola, it is heart-warming to feel presence and support from the 
international mapping community. Thanks to everyone!" .  MSF GIS Field Off.



@Nicolas,
Good idea for sure, we may wait some days to get this.

Hi Sylvie,

Thanks for sharing, would be great if shareable to see pictures of those masks 
in action in Guinea for coordination or direct field work, it's always 
rewarding to see those materials directly used in the last kilometers from

Re: [HOT] FAO global land cover recent release (beta version)

Hash: SHA1

I had a brief look at the page, if is raster data at a size of 1 km
per pixel so it is not really suitable for OSM directly, however it
can be used for something like rendering the background for lower zoom
levels on something like the HOT rendering like we do with hillshading
now.  This would help to see where deserts/forests and things start
and end which is sometimes useful; the Thar Pakar drought activation
going on now could be one such case.

2014-04-02 Thread Sylvie De Laborderie

Hi Everyone,
Two more things from field : 
- Regarding population: huts are build with bamboo/wood and only used for 
shadow during day and sometimes for storage. In both villages and urban aera.

- "A big THANK YOU from the emergency team in Gueckedou and Macenta to all of 
you guys in HOT/OSM! Your work speed and quality was far beyond our 
expectations. MapsKits are already distributed to the field teams and received 
an enthousiastic welcome from our staff, both international and local. As 
people carry on fighting against Ebola, it is heart-warming to feel presence 
and support from the international mapping community. Thanks to everyone!" .  
MSF GIS Field Off.


@Nicolas,Good idea for sure, we may wait some days to get this.

Thanks for sharing, would be great if shareable to see pictures of those masks

rewarding to see those materials directly used in the last kilometers from

We have already imported all of the names that we can from GNS, those
are the ones that should already be named and will have an 'NGA' in
the source tag rather than 'US Army Topo Map'.  For the ones on the
topo map for task 483, don't worry about the position at all, just
copy the name into the nodes either as name or as alt_name if there is
already a name there just spelled differently.  Once all the names are
entered in, then we will go through and try to place them in the
correct location.  The topo map was not super accurate but it it close
enough to find which name goes with what town once you correct for the
local offset (which changes from place to place).  But like I said,
for now just enter the names.

[HOT] FAO global land cover recent release (beta version)

2014-04-02 Thread nicolas chavent

Hi all

Just came through this recent release by FAO of a global land cover layer
[1].
Wondering if those of us, more cognizant of Remote Sensing and Land Cover
Classification, already noticed this work and can share views about this
FAO work

Wondering how usable it can be for remote activation work, and Guinea/ebola
for example.

i tried a litte bit with the map. I often found the town/hamlet 1 or 2
kilometers away and has not just a wrong position, it seems also to be
not in right scale (at least east-west), if i take the roads and rivers
on the map for offset operations to the map. Some towns/hamlets on the
map seems not to be exists any longer.

Is there any reason, not to use the Geonet Names Server [1]? It seems
not to be licensing problems, when the wiki page text is correct.
We could either use the WMS-Layer, see link on the bottom of the page or
could convert the data files to osm-files? The data, delivered from GNS,
have also coordinates, which are not so bad.
