So happy for the new development of the Tech Team!
Welcome to Hycinth, Lily and Diana! :)
Would the Tech WG 2.0 be open to have a schedule that will also work from the 
different side of the globe, ie  Asia and the Pacific (in most Southeast Asia 
countries, the current timeslot is 12AM onwards)? Just opening up this 
conversation in case anyone would like to join the group that is based in these 
regions. :)

regards,Arnalie

Hello Humanitarian OpenStreetMappers,

Get updated with the latest news from the HOT Tech Team.

Tasking Manager 4.2.0 released

We released a new version of Tasking Manager. The main highlight is the 
enhancement on how the integrated iD is initialized, in order to make it more 
reliable and avoid data errors. The iD editor version is now upgraded to 
2.19.4. We have also made some improvements to the project management section. 
Check out the complete release notes.

Hycinth, Lily and Diana join the Tech Team

We have three new members on our team:
   
   -
Hycinth Umaran is joining us as Scrum Master and Agile Coach and is based in 
Manilla, Philippines;

   -
Lily Cheng is our new Senior Designer and is based in Los Angeles, USA;

   -
Finally, Diana Nanyanzi is our new Junior Developer, and she is based in 
Kampala, Uganda.


They will help us to improve not only our technical solutions, but our way of 
working with more creativity, diversity and agility. You can say hello to them 
on Slack!

Tech Working Group is reactivated

Yesterday we had our first meeting of the Tech Working Group 2.0. We are 
prototyping a new format for the gatherings, including a retrospective of the 
past month, input on the HOT_tech backlog prioritisation and a forum to share 
and discuss interesting tech topics. You can check the meeting notes and attend 
the next one on December 1st, 16:00 UTC.

[HOT] Update! Recent Disaster Activty

2020-11-04 Thread Russell Deffner 
 Dear HOT Community,

The last few weeks have been especially challenging, given the number of
disasters occurring around the world. This is a quick update on the six
incidents we have been experiencing. But first, let me ask everyone reading
this message to do one, or more, of the following to help:

   - Visit https://tasks.hotosm.org, find a suitable project, preferably a
   project with Urgent priority (use the filters if needed), and map at least
   one task. If half of the readers in our mailing list do this, that could
   finish the largest of the projects (or several of the smaller ones).
   - If you are an experienced OpenStreetMap contributor, please visit
   https://bit.ly/HOTValidators and sign up to become a Validator to help
   us ensure high-quality data is delivered to responders and aid agencies
   - Spread the word, such as on Social Media or directly to friends and
   family. Tell them about OpenStreetMap, the Tasking Manager, the MapSwipe
   app, and all of your favorite ways and reasons you participate. You can
   also take it one step further and host a mapathon! Mapathons are especially
   encouraged during GeoWeek, November 15-21; register your event here:
   
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd0o_FrsoGlpqKlG9q1WumFV8sW8P9yhH4Udln_1fQbYjXn9A/viewform
   - Last, if you’re over-the-top dedicated like we are and want to be a
   part of the Disaster Services Team (DST), you can start by attending
   meetings of the Activation Working Group. Ask how in our #disaster-mapping
   Slack channel here: https://slack.hotosm.org

Now for the run-down of the Disaster Incidents we are leading, managing,
supporting, and/or monitoring. For more details on each situation, see our
blog: https://www.hotosm.org/updates/fall-2020-disaster-responses/

   - *Hurricane Zeta*: coordination calls for Zeta in the USA ended on
   Friday
   - *Typhoon Molave*: the local community in the Philippines were already
   engaged when Molave landed. Extended effects in Vietnam, including
   landslides. HOT activated by request of local mappers. Projects:
   https://tasks.hotosm.org/explore?text=Molave
   - *Aegean Sea Earthquake* (Turkey): 7.0  magnitude earthquake &
   following tsunami. Yer Çizenler leading the activation, HOT supporting.
   Projects: https://tasks.hotosm.org/explore?text=Izmir
   - *Super Typhoon Rolly* (Goni) affected the Philippines, the local team
   is already engaged, the storm is now heading towards Vietnam. Projects:
   https://tasks.hotosm.org/explore?text=RollyPH
   - *Hurricane Eta* - Made landfall November 3 as a category 4 hurricane.
   HOT currently estimating needs while establishing contact with local
   community
   - *COVID-19*: 225 days since we activated, 323 projects managed by HOT,
   with about 100 others managed by the community. Projects:
