Re: [HOT] Tasking Manager - Release candidate

[Martin Dittus]

"Message can now be sent to all the contributors of a project” Oooh that’s a 
very interesting feature. 

The associated ticket has some discussion of potential uses:
https://github.com/hotosm/osm-tasking-manager2/issues/719

The key items are probably:
- to thank people
- to let them know of changes to instructions
- to let them know of new but related projects
- to send feedback on how their contribution was used <- (maybe my favourite)

Was also a delight to follow the developer/maintainer workflow that made this 
happen… issue, pull request, discussion, amendment, final review, merge. Very 
well done!

[Russell Deffner]

Oops, so many groups I forget how to invite people to which ones; for the
FWG, please join the mailing-list by visiting
https://groups.google.com/a/hotosm.org/forum/#!forum/fundraising and 'apply
for membership', i.e. send us a quick introduction.

 

Then you can visit agendas and such :)

[HOT] Mapathon - Missing Maps - June the 9th

[Claire GILLETTE]

Hi everyone,

As you might have seen on the Missing Maps website, a mapathon is 
scheduluded on Thrusday in Paris.


We are planning to help map Bunia, in DRC (task #1910), and Tikrit, in 
Iraq (task #1808).


We will have a live stream and a Skype session for people who want to 
participate remotely, do not hesitate to let us now if you want to join 
us! And if you are able/available to help us with some of the 
validation, we would be very happy to have your support as well.


The details regarding the event are on the following page : 
https://www.eventbrite.fr/e/billets-mapathon-missing-maps-paris-5-mozilla-25778062880 
.


Moreover, we are trying to strenghten our ties with OSM communities and 
people working in the zones we help to map. So if you are or have 
contacts for us in DRC or Iraq, please let us know !


Thanks to you all,

Looking forward to Thursday evening!

Claire

Re: [HOT] Sri Lanka Floods Activation Close

[Mikel Maron]

Truly an incredible response -- made so strong by the relationships built over 
years in Sri Lanka, facilitated by GFDRR

 Hello everyone,
Greetings from Sri Lanka.
We are closing the HOT Sri Lanka Activation today. We are no longer receiving 
requests for support from the Disaster Management Centre of Sri Lanka (DMC) and 
the actual floodwaters have receded, meaning there is no more immediate crisis 
to respond to.
This was a very successful activation. We’ve received many notes of 
appreciation from our friends in the Sri Lankan government: I was thanked in 
person today by the DMC’s Research and Technology Director and asked to work 
with OSM data for assessing the strength of the DMC’s response. OSM data was 
used to evaluate the impact of the floods and communicate it to other 
government responders / the Sri Lankan press. I am working to secure the 
release of some of the resulting maps so you all can see for yourselves. I also 
expect that in the future HOT will be asked to support disaster responses in 
Sri Lanka.
There’s a lot of thanks to go around for such a successful activation. My 
co-leads Blake Girardot and Mikel Maron did a lot to make this activation work 
smoothly, as did Russell Deffner, particularly in the early crazy stages of the 
activation. The Mapbox team with Sajjad Anwar and Maning Sambale, the Kathmandu 
Living Labs team with Megha Shrestha and a bunch of mapathons (most notably 
Nimalika Fernando’s mapathon at SLIIT in Sri Lanka, *in the flood zone*) helped 
immensely to get tasks mapped and validated in the early days. Finally thanks 
to Mapbox and the US Dept. of State for providing us useful imagery during the 
response. We couldn't have done this without them.
Most importantly, HOT volunteers from around the globe did what they did best, 
mapping and validating a huge area at a really impressive pace. Thank you so 
much to every one of you who contributed.
We may continue to post tasks related to future preparedness in and around the 
flood zone as requested by the DMC. Because these will fall outside a disaster 
event we will handle them outside an activation. Please contribute when you 
can! The DMC has become quite a believer in OSM data and hopes to use it more 
for preparedness purposes too.
Best,Robert
