[HOT] Last day for Mapbox crowdfunding matching - Lets make sure we hit 10k!

[Blake Girardot]

Hi Everyone,

As you may know Mapbox has graciously offered to match the first USD
$10,000 in our crowdfunding campaign but the deadline to reach that
10k is tomorrow, Friday, Nov. 20th.

We are close with about $1100.00 left to reach the 10K.

If anyone has been waiting to donate or putting it off, now is the
time to do it and double your impact on HOT!

Donations are not the only way to help, tweeting, facebooking, and
emailing our crowdfunding video:

and telling everyone you can about this amazing little NGO you
volunteer with makes a big difference.

Please help us make this 10k milestone!

Cheers,
Blake

Re: [HOT] [OSM-talk] A message to our friends at HOT, Peace Corps etc. about Changeset Comments

[Mikel Maron]

Hi friends
I'm mining a few actionable nuggets from this discussion.
* Document (or link to documentation) on how the OSMTM works in the wiki, 
including structure of changeset comments.* Update guidance to encourage 
mappers to add their own insights in changeset comments* Share more the 
downstream analysis of changeset comments, like http://osmgeoweek.org/metrics* 
Make the point person for an OSMTM visible and contactable for feedback.* 
Investigate potential use of other tags in the changeset
Created a GitHub ticket for working through ideas 
https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/issues/703
Mikel
ps For the Argentinian case, has anyone asked the local community there to 
reach out? I'm sure they would be able to help them get on the right track. *

HOT uses the OSM database/platform and therefore it has to adapt and follow 
OSM's rules. Nobody forces you to use OSM. Why don't you do something like 
OpenHistoricalMap and use your own database basrd on OSM software?

A mapper should be able to get an idea what has been edited at a given 
changeset without decrypting the changeset comment using an external service 
(HOT tasking manager in this case). Who guarantees that HOT tasking manager 
will still be online in 5 or 10 years?

Best regards

Michael

Thanks for the encouragement Tyler.

The attendees of the Portland Oregon GIS Day mapathon enjoyed watching the
progress of all the ongoing mapathons.
