[HOT] OSM Tasking Manager localization updates
Hi all, not sure if you noticed but we started using Transifex service for localization coordination [0]. There are two translatable resources *master* and *current*. Master represents current project development which will be deployed to the http://tasks.hotosm.org. Current represents currently deployed OSMTM. Master resource will be continuously updated during a development cycle, and once it gets deployed it will become the *current* resource. This enables translators to quickly fix broken or missing translations in the *current* resource as translations can be easily updated. At the same time translators can work on new translations in the *master* resource. Any new languages should be added to the *master* resource. It's technically possible to migrate translations from *master* resource to the *current* resource, however, it's also possible that some translation will be missing after the migration. Happy localization, Dražen [0] https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/osm-tasking-manager2/ [1] https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/osm-tasking-manager2/resources/ ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
[HOT] Earthquake in China
There was an earthquake in China a few days ago, which killed at least 410 people. I don't know if it warrants much attention, but Katpatuka was pointing out that we haven't responded at all. https://twitter.com/katpatuka/status/496971779056082944 No requests from aid responders but, in the hope that it may be useful to somebody, I made a few edits just now to boost coverage, and there is more basic coverage to add in the area, particularly using black white Mapbox Satellite imagery: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2014_Ludian_earthquake Feel free to edit that wiki page to coordinate Harry ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
Re: [HOT] HOT Tech WG Meeting X+14
I can set these up and then other fields can be added as required. Awesome In Drupal terms, the easiest will be a user profile page, because that can be automatically connected to anybody who writes an update, but several of them can also be manually added, for example as contacts for projects. We can then also use the individual Drupal contact forms which come with a spam filter. I think it could depend a little on the requirements. The intersection of people posting, and members, only has partial overlap. We also need to think about how we want to organize project contacts (as a single group, or individuals), and contacts to profiled members (perhaps simply twitter, or link to OSM id). -Mikel * Mikel Maron * +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron On Wednesday, August 6, 2014 4:37 AM, ifrik if...@ifrik.org wrote: Hi, On 05/08/14 19:49, Mikel Maron wrote: ...

[HOT] OSM Ebola Response as of august 2014
I've published a new update about the Ebola Response. http://hot.openstreetmap.org/updates/2014-08-05_reactivation_of_hot_for_the_ebola_epidemic_second_update With 4.3 millions objects added to the OSM database, the intensity of this OSM Activation is now equivalent to the Philippines Haiyan Activation. The areas mapped in West Africa represent a square of approximately 155 km x 155 km. The weekly WHO reports in july have showed a constant increase in the no. of cases. We are in contac with various UN Agencies, humanitarian organizations deployed in West Africa and Satellite imagery providers. We will continue to follow the needs of the humanitarians deployed on the ground and add as necessary new HOT Tasking Manager jobs to cover new areas as needed. The wiki page for the activation has been enhanced to promote the various exports offered by the OSM community and partners. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2014_West_Africa_Ebola_Response#Exporting_OpenStreetMap_data Recall of various ungoing OSM Activations with the link to the HOT Tasking Manager. Thanks to all the contributors. For the Ebola Activation alone, 712 OSM contributors from around the world have contributed remotely since march, mapping the various areas.

Re: [HOT] Tasking Manager V2 updated
Thanks Pierre Layout issues fixed Looking at page in layout in http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/587 still regression from V1. tested transfer of polygon in JOSM with http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/610 In JOSM, the layout is now properly traced around the polygon. To distinguish between this polygon and the data to edit, we should look at adapting the MapCSS styles to gray these polygons with a large band. This would be more intuitive about the meaning of this polygon. Project tasks can be exported to GeoJSON. - Tested and Ok Priority areas can be defined for a project - Tested with http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/19 As I understand it, no title or description can be added to the polygon. Difficulty can be set for each task - Did not find how to implement this, neither with a job already existing or a new one. Nice features, good progress. I think that it is important though to resolve the Page layout and come back to something similar to V1.

[HOT] Tasking Manager2
I'd like to give a short update on Tasking Manager 2 to our 10th Anniversary Celebration in Seattle. Can someone give me a short description on the latest v2.4.0, update on the following enhancements?

[HOT] TM job for Chikhwawa district in Malawi - mapping over imagery to prepare field mapping
Hi, As announced in my last email about the Malawi project, I created a TM job http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/615 to start mapping the most flood prone areas in Lower Shire valley, starting by the Chikhwawa district. The local trainees from Malawi gov Departments, Academia and WFP have started it this morning and through it mapped their first residential areas, roads, tracks and waterways in this flood plain mostly covered by farm lands, what was almost blank in OSM. Everyone is invited to participate, even for a few objects. As mentioned in the TM job description,* the data produced through this job will be used in Field Papers during the community mapping as well as exposure data in hazard impact scenarios in order to improve the planning, preparedness and response activities to the floods*. I know there is a lot of urgent TM jobs running these days (Gaza, Ebola, CAR, South Sudan, etc.), but preparedness is also an important step in any disaster management and be sure we will use the data in the field papers and in our Garmin devices in a couple of weeks!
