Re: [HOT] [hotosm-membership] HOT New Member Nominations

[Blake Girardot]

Hi all,

I want to welcome all the people who will be considering becoming a
voting member of HOT.

HOT is a diverse community with a shared goal: Working together to
serve people through collaboration and open data.

Becoming a voting member is a very public declaration of your
commitment that goal.

The HOT/OSM community works on the ground in many places and HOT the
organization does everything it can to support and build those
efforts.  Becoming a voting member is another way you can increase
your participation in and commitment to HOT's projects. The worldwide
HOT/OSM community has accomplished amazing work over the past 5 years
and I am honored to be a peer in that community and a voting member of
HOT US Inc.

I also wish to amplify Russ's mention of the importance of diversity
to HOT. HOT is committed to making our community a safe space for
people of any background.

If anyone has any questions about HOT or about becoming a voting
member, please just contact me whatever way is most convenient for
you:

I love to quote Heather Leson, HOT US Inc.'s President: "Lets be
awesome together."
I look forward to working with everyone in the HOT/OSM community in
the future (how great is it to be able to say that?)

Cheers,
Blake

Re: [HOT] Quick question on village mapping

[Blake Girardot]

I like to explain it in terms of land usage, people reside here on the
land in some way, therefore landuse=residential that is how it works
best in my experience. Fits fully within local mapping partners and
people and is well understood HOT/OSM usage. It also works well for
revisions in the future. It is the most general
people-reside-on-the-land tagging and can be refined with more detail
and specificity in the future without being incorrect now or losing
any of the history of the original object.

Cheers,
Blake

[HOT] HOT New Member Nominations

[Russell Deffner]

Greetings Global Community of HOT,

 

(my apologies, I meant to send this on Monday but was focused on our
Activations)

 

There are never enough ways to thank you for all that you have done and
continue to do for HOT. It is my pleasure to announce that the Voting
Members of HOT have launched the nomination period for a New Member
Election. Voting Members are our ‘core team’ that handle governance such
as Bylaws, Board Member Elections, and of course - electing additional
Voting Members.

 

The short-story of the way it works is, each existing member can nominate
one person, and if elected, that nominator mentors the nominee as they
navigate HOT/OSM and achieve their goals. Those of you who love what we are
doing and accept the long and grueling challenge of ensuring effective
governance of the organization as well as strengthening and growing it, I
welcome you to contact myself or any of the wonderful people you may have
worked with here: http://hotosm.org/voting-members - rights and
responsibilities are also defined in the Membership Code linked/attached to
that page.

 

New Member Nominees are not required to campaign in any way, but are
encouraged to document their aspirations somewhere that will be linked to
the ballot (or otherwise work with their nominator to provide links/text
for the ballot). It is not easy to be elected as our existing membership
takes many things into account, including diversity. To be elected, a
nominee must gain written consent from ⅔ of the existing membership, in
other word 57 of the 86 current Voting Members must approve their
nomination via ballot (think of it as a petition requiring a certain number
of signatures).

 

Detailed procedures are documented here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-
83ZQvgXLentCAMS37gOPe1Lhmzs1UsqliohxfogJWk  

 

The nomination period ends November 6th; at which point nominees, their
nominator and/or supports will have until basically the end of November
(28th) to introduce themselves via the membership mailing list and/or
IRC/Mumble/etc. Results will be ratified at a Special Meeting of the Voting
Members, tentatively between December 12th and 20th  and announced shortly
after.

 

Any questions regarding membership or this election process, please don’t
hesitate to contact me directly.

 

On behalf of the Voting Members, we cannot wait to meet the nominees!

=Russ

Re: [HOT] Quick question on village mapping

Ah, but actual village/place boundaries can't really be determined via imagery; 
so we 'traditionally' mark areas that look residential/lived in with 
landuse=residential and handle any place boundaries with import, etc.

landuse is not for mapping places, but land usage. If you want to show 
the extents of a village, use a place polygon. If the extents of the two 
are the same, you could put them both on the same object.

[HOT] Question [about the/à propos du] HOT Export

[augustindoury]

Salut à tous, hi all !
Une question sur le HOT Export ci-dessous (en français)
A question about the HOT Export below (in english)

---FR--

Salut à tous,

Je tente d'utiliser la nouvelle version du HOT Export
(http://export.hotosm.org) en utilisant un preset perso après avoir
désactivé tous les schémas d'attributs proposés (tree tags).
L'objectif est d'obtenir un shapefile qui contient tous les objets OSM
répondant à une combinaison donnée de couples clé/valeur.

Un exemple avec ce bout de preset [1]

Dans le shapefile de points que je récupère, j'ai tous les objets de la
bbox dont au moins une des clés listées ci-dessous a une valeur
non-nulle, quelque soit la valeur.
Par exemple je récupère des amenity=hospital ou police.
ou encore name=* pour une ville.

Y a-t-il un moyen d'extrait uniquement les objets qui ont une
combinaison spécifique de clés/valeurs ? par exemple tous les objets
ayant amenity=clinic avec health_facility:type=health_center ?

Finalement obtenir le même résultat qu'un requête Overpass XML via
QuickOSM comme celle-là [2]

Merci d'avance,

Augustin

---EN--

Hi all,

I try to use the new version of HOT Export (http://export.hotosm.org) by
deselecting all the tree tags and uploading a custom preset.
I'd like to extract in a shapefile just specific features which have
specific key/value combinations.

Portion of preset looks like this [1]

But in the resultt points shapefile I get all the features of the bbox
which have at least one of the listed keys, whatever the value is.
For example I have some amenity=police or hospital
or some name=* about a town.

Is there a way to extract JUST the features which have a specific
combination of key/values ? I mean just the amenity=clinic with
health_facility:type=health_center ?

Finally just obtain the same result as an Overpass XML query via
QuickOSM as this one [2]

Thanks in advance,

Augustin

FYI, iD does understand {zoom} in an imagery url - you don’t need to replace it 
with {z}.

[HOT] Post-seism Pleiades images of 3 Afghanistan cities

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Hi,

After the Oct 26 Badakhshan earthquake, Airbus DS has donated access to
Pleiades images of three Afghan cities, Fayzabad, Taloqan and Kunduz,
taken on Oct 28, and acquired within the framework of the International
Charter, Space and Major Disasters.

They have been processed (pansharpening, conversion and color
processing) and set-up on OpenStreetMap France server, and are available
as TMS and WMS.

TMS URL for JOSM:
tms[23]:http://imagery.openstreetmap.fr/tms/1.0.0/afghanistan_pleiades_20151028/{zoom}/{x}/{y}

(for iD, replace "zoom" with "z")

A layer with near infrared band displayed as red is also available:
tms[23]:http://imagery.openstreetmap.fr/tms/1.0.0/afghanistan_pleiades_20151028_nir/{zoom}/{x}/{y}


The WMS access for each is at :
http://imagery.openstreetmap.fr/wms


Due in particular to the rushed and difficult treatment conditions,
there is an offset relative to Bing, which should be corrected in your
editor before tracing data for OSM.

They are licensed under the "special web license for OSM", which in
short only allows to use the image to develop derivative works (=
"trace") provided that they are included in OSM database. Full text:
http://imagery.openstreetmap.fr/airbus-ds/Web%20Licence%20for%20Non-Commercial%20Use%20with%20OSM.pdf

Use "source=Pleiades 20151028, CNES, Airbus DS"


Note that Copernicus Grading Maps of Fayzabad and Taloqan show no
visible damage detected.
In Kunduz, the visible damage to the MSF Hospital is not due to the
earthquake...

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem

[HOT] Training Course on use of GIS and Remote Sensing in Disaster Risk Management

[Macharia Karani]

*Dear colleagues,*

*Indepth Research Services (IRES* *)* is
delighted to invite you to attend our upcoming *5 days’* *Training Course
on use of GIS and Remote Sensing in Disaster Risk Management*

offered
at our *Geospatial Information Systems and Earth Observation Institute*

  to be held in*Nairobi, Kenya* on *26th October** 2015.*


*Introduction*

Disaster risk information is spatial in nature and Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) play an important role in disaster risk management. Rapid
population growth and urbanization combined with extreme climatic events
are causing a rapid increase in vulnerability of communities exposed to
hazardous events. Natural disasters inflict severe damage on almost the
entire spectrum of social and natural habitats, ranging from housing and
shelter, water, food, health, sanitation, and waste management to
information and communication networks, supply of power and energy, and
transportation infrastructure.

There is a great need to utilize disaster risk information in planning for
effective coping mechanisms of disaster risk reduction. For this, there is
a significant need to create awareness among the disaster management
professionals regarding the importance of GIS and Remote Sensing.

This course is job oriented and aims to impact practical skills on how to
use GIS and RS ,to overcome the major challenges faced in ,pre-disasters
during disaster and post-disaster management such as during early warning,
hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment, damage assessment, as well as in
the design of risk reduction measures.

*Targeted audience*

The course is targeted at professionals who require knowledge and skills on
the use of GIS and RS in their organization in the field of disaster
management. Participants are welcome from a broad range of organizations
including physical planning, institutions, professionals and private GIS
and RS related firms.

*Duration*

5 Days

*Learning objectives*

Upon completion of the course, the participants will be able to:

· Describe and utilize spatial data, GIS and remote sensing in
disaster risk assessment and management

· Utilize existing sources of historical disaster information and
elements at risk data

· Apply GIS/remote sensing in hazard, vulnerability and risk
assessment

· Employ risk information in emergency preparedness planning

· Visualize hazard and risk information

· Apply GIS/remote sensing to post-disaster damage assessment
