Re: [HOT] OpenDRI Field Guide Released
Hey there I'd like to second Severin's on the overall appreciation of the OpenDRI guide We opened up a conversation around translation towards French that could be facilitated by TWB thanks through the partnership HOT/TWB Sev opened up. I last joined Sev in enhancing the contexts of the 3 to 4 years of work around OSM in Haiti to better highlight what made both possible and special (an outcome in itself) the ARC/HRC project around OSM in Northern Haiti; happy to help out with those involved in OSM work in Haiti on an enrichment of the HT story I look forward to hearing back on John's talk tomorrow at SOTMUS on this topic. ++ Nico On Sat, Apr 12, 2014 at 9:40 PM, Severin Menard wrote: > Dear John, > > Sorry to get back on this topic a few weeks after the release of the first > draft of this report, but time ran quicker than I hoped before finding > enough time to read it properly. > First, I would like to say to express my opinion about the report: it is > really impressive.

Re: [HOT] OpenDRI Field Guide Released
Dear John, Sorry to get back on this topic a few weeks after the release of the first draft of this report, but time ran quicker than I hoped before finding enough time to read it properly. First, I would like to say to express my opinion about the report: it is really impressive. It is written in a concise, understandable, educational way that make it easy and pleasant to read and it is a great, flexible tool to advocate for and set open data, disaster resilience and community based mapping. It also describes in a very detailed, open manner the OpenDRI project organization and staff. I have one question, one suggestion and a few feedback points. The question is: will this report be soon translated into various languages (French, Spanish, etc.) to be largely disseminated? The suggestion is about the past OSM community experiences in Haiti mentioned by Robert in the Community Mapping with the Red Cross in Haiti insert. The resources that allow such programs to happen are based on various training + community building projects that have started since March 2010, encompassing IOM embed projects, USAID funded projects (for a total of USD 1 million, I would say at least) + voluntary remote and/or field supports of many individuals (Nicolas Chavent, Jaakko Helleranta, Brian Wolford, Sebastien Pierrel, Pierre Béland, Robert Baker, Delphine Bédu, Emilie Reiser and me but I am certainly forgetting people - please forgive me). It would be worth to include and analyse them as OpenDRI related pioneering initiatives and regarding the lessons that have been learned from them. What do you think? My feedback points: Regarding OpenData and France, this slideshow provides I think some the main past and future milestones: http://www.slideshare.net/laurelucchesi/france-open-data-national-action-plan-g8 Regarding community building, the report emphasizes chapter 6 (first collection) the importance to maintain a sustainable, fun spirit and involvement among the mappers (I prefer this word rather than surveyors, because it seems related to the "traditional survey techniques"), but chapter 7 (Catalyzing) does not describe not much how this can be maintained, what is actually an important issue whose solution is likely not unique. Page 56, the second step is called Import data what seems a bit as import of existing data may not happen (if there is none) and because it encompasses as well the remote, crowd-sourcing mapping that is likely to bring more data than the potential import. I also found a few typos that may have been already found by others: The Open Cities Toolkit will available in mid 2014: be is missing visualize the likely impacy of a hazard on schools: impact, not impacy geographic data from the UK’s Ordinance Survey: Ordnance, not Ordinance users to fuse data from data catalogues, community mapping platforms: use and not fuse? Learning happens quickest when failure is transparent to all and s team: s to be deleted? [optional] Inubator or Accelerator services to the OpenDRI initiative: incubator and not inubator Connections between stakeholders who have umet challenges: I guess unmet, not umet COSMHASTM: they prefer COSMHA-STM Sincerely, Severin On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 3:45 AM, Kate Chapman wrote: > Hi All, > > I wanted to point out to you that the "Open Data for Resilience > Initiative: Field Guide" was released yesterday(1).

[HOT] Syria Activation
Hello, I'm very interested by the "Syria Activation" project. It will be very helpful for so many projects (UN or small local initiatives!). I would be glad to participate. I know well the country and the language (I'm syrian although I grew up abroad). And I have a long experience with GIS and geographic data, data quality, data analysis, web-mapping, etc... How can we know more about the timeline of the project? And the tasks? Thanks ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
