[HOT] Dale Kunce (OSM, OSMF and HOT US Inc president) on [OSMF] mailing list: "a viper pit of racism and misogyny"; a statement which minimally calls for answers and facts
Dear HOT US Inc, OSMF members and HOT mailing list subscribers, I randomly ran into this tweet of Dale Kunce [1], *> "Community. The absolute best and worst things of OSM. Current mailing list is a viper pit of racism and misogyny. I don’t know it if will ever be a safe place. Even I’m thinking of unsubscribing."* As both an OSM, OSMF, HOT US Inc member (and the president of the HOT US Inc NGO), Dale shall find appropriate to develop his thoughts and provide facts to explain how the November [2] and December [3] discussions on the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) mailing-list (osmf-t...@openstreetmap.org) translate into "racism and misogyny". This would constitute a form of bare minimal respect ought to the members of those communities.

Re: [HOT] Code of Conduct Reminder
Dear all HOT Us Inc members, subscribers of the hot at openstreetmap mailing-list and OSMF members, There's is something weird in Dale Kunce (HOT US Inc President and OSMF member) in this email announcing that the HOT US Inc Code of Conduct https://www.hotosm.org/hot_code_of_conduct will be enforced on the hot at openstreetmap mailing-list (an OpenStreetMap mailing list to discuss uses of OSM in the humanitarian and development sectors [1]) which like other OpenStreetMap thematic mailing lists [2] (software development, tagging etc ...) and other discussions fora (wiki, forum etc) belong to the commons of the OpenStreetMap project and is regulated via the OSMF and the OSM members and is yet not subject to agreed upon and enforced CoC as reminded by the last OSMF election discussions [3]. It would be beneficial for the regulations of the OpenStreetMap commons, that the President of HOT US Inc refrain from enforcing his own organization's conversational policy and procedures (which has never been voted by the HOT US Inc membership) over an OSM mailing list and narrow his focus and actions on the resources of his own organizations (membership mailing list, tools etc) or the conversations of the HOT US Inc membership. It would also be beneficial to assess and look at the moderation of the hot at openstreetmap mailing-list from a non HOT US Inc only perspective, shall we want this list to be the mailing list of anyone OpenStreeMap members (and not yet members) interested into the use of OpenStreetMap diversified and decentralized and not the list of only-one organization of the OpenStreetMap ecosystem active across the humanitarian and development sectors.

[HOT] Status of #Map4Ebola (#OpenStreetMap #DRC #Ebola response as of 1-June morning.
Hi all- A quick email to request an update on the current status of the current #Ebola #DRC #OSM response. It would be great for all involved so far in this response to get a status of the current response : How is this crisis dealt with overall at this stage of the outbreak ? Are the key information needs covered so far ? Are we done with data creation since no new mapping tasks are published so far ? Have we to focus solely on validation and is the mapping project #3 [1] in the Tasking Manager so far the only remaining task ? We are 15 Western African mappers gathered for a one week GIS/OSM training as part of #EcoleGeomatiqueLibre in IRD Bondy campus, after 3 days on GIS/Remote sensing, we will start with OSM and have tomorrow 2-June a mapathon lined up. In Bamako #Mali a 2 weeks OSM/GIS capacity building mission is also ongoing. Without clear indication on the status of the Ebola response and its information unmet needs we will focus on Western African and Mali mapping projects. 2 side notes to learn from this response I shall not have had to write his email since anyone mapping in the course of a crisis response is expected to get regular updates on its impacts and the information gaps met or unmet ; I had to take some time off this training for an un-necessary. When a crisis strikes in a French speaking country, these information shall flow also if not primarily in French speaking communication channels. Thanks in advance for getting back to us on current needs so that we plan our training/mapping efforts accordingly and keep helping out like we did so far or get back to other urgent tasks.

Re: [HOT] #Map4Ebola DRC OpenStreetMap Response to 2017 Ebola outbreak : 25-May 2017 priority mapping work
Hi Jorieke Thanks for posting the new task. " Only a few hours were needed to complete task 3076... *you're heroes!* " PLS refrain from using this tone, there is no need for such rhetoric. Things have been kept simple, humble and straight in communication so far: people knowing what they are up to and why they are mapping on this crisis. Shall you want to help out in communication in this OSM response, help getting the @hotosm Twitter account spreading more news about #ebola mapping priorities. As anyone can read, very little tweets were related to the ebola outbreak. One may even wonder if there's a global malaria outbreak going on... No doubt that malaria is an important topic and the Clinton Health/HOT US Inc project a worthy initiative, but any action against malaria is a long term effort and yet it has been treated on @hotosm like a number one priority, requiring fast-paced action just like in a rapid response to a sudden outbreak which is not the case. A bit of balance in attention would be beneficial to help OSM efforts getting targetted here.

Re: [HOT] mapping for ebola response in DRCongo
Hi Pete, The pages are already updated in English and French. The email was just a note for the next releases of mapping tasks; I took off the tasks 2,3 at this stage, so that mappers remain focused on the only 2 first tasks. Also consider to post coordination emails also on the hotfrancophone list with 1/ an automatic EN-FR translation + 2/ the original (English) version of your email. French speaking folks can then clarify and relay towards other OSM national mailing lists. It might also be nice to use a bit more @hotosm to publish the highest priority task.

Re: [HOT] [activation hotosm] Hurricane Matthew response : Imagery/UAV coordination and support to local Haitian UAV capacities
Hi Blake, Yes Fred and the Haitian dronists on the ground have skills and extensive experience but little resources to keep up their work; this did not prevent them from doing what they are good at. This can limit the span of their action at a time where humanitarian actors need local capacities to generate post disaster UAV imagery as well as satellite imagery to carry out post disaster needs assessment. Support to their work can span from small logistics support (rides in UNHAS, helis, plane and cars). This is quite common to get such support in any sudden onset disaster responses when GIS/UAV resources (leading to high impact for IM and decision making) already undersized are rare, too rare. When HOT started its first field missions, we were exactly in the same situation as Fred. Skilled individuals (less experimented though) with adequate equipment, but with little operational resources. We did good. Without the above mentioned forms of support, though our impact would have been limited and the course of action for OMS in Haiti and in other countries different. With the above in mind, it's weird to read that the president of HOT US Inc stating that the only HOT US Inc support for Fred and this collective of local Haitian dronists is only a well known list of UAV groups and a pointer to UN OCHA. That's of no help. UAV are used in Tanzania by HOT US Inc in Development and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) contexts [1]. Thanks to multi years of UAV activities in Haiti, this country is no longer a terra incognita when it comes to drones and there is no such thing as "UAV missions in disaster zones with notoriously complicated airspaces" but an area where it's possible to operate and make the difference we ought to the Haitians and to the Haitians mappers/dronists who acquired part of their skills via HOT US Inc and OSM folks. Do we have to understand that HOT US Inc will not help with simple facilitation work with partner relief organizations working in Haiti, some of those orgs (ARC, MSF etc) having representatives in the membership or the Board ? Given where HOT US Inc comes from and ironically in Haiti, this would mean a lot in terms of the losses of our operational/organizational ethos and would raise questions about the reality of support/empowerment schemes to local communities or possible conflict of interest between members/Board members of HOT US Inc and other organizations.

Re: [HOT] [activation hotosm] Hurricane Matthew response : Imagery/UAV coordination and support to local Haitian UAV capacities
Ciao Cristiano, grazie x il email ! It's still time for us to help Fred and the Haitian UAV collective to do in 2016 for Cyclone Matthew what had been done for Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and in Disaster Risk Reduction schemes for large organizations. But it's a question of hours/days at this particular time of a crisis response, so waiting for a lessons learned exercice is not the right path for us if we do care for useful pixels for OSM and solid opendata for the actors of the humanitarian system. Of course we will do a Lesson Learned exercise and these emails can help as bits of archive to help us doing this in a nice way beneficial for HOT US Inc, HOT, OSM and Humanitarian / Development actors of this domain. Now it's time to act swiftly the way HOT US Inc and OSM usually do. Let's really help Fred and local Haitian UAV flyers and dronists first moving into Haiti, getting one individual (with such impact) in a helico is not a hard task for HOT US Inc partners or any OSM supporter relief organization. UNHAS (among others) with the support of requesting entities like big Haiti players (WFP ARC IOM UNICEF OCHA/UNDAC..) do this on regular basis at the onset of emergencies. It shall not be to difficult for Dale Kunce, HOT US Inc Vice president and Head of American Red Cross (ARC) GIS unit involved in multi years support program to Haitian Red Cross (HRC) in Haiti to help out directly or indirectly. Shall this be hard for ARC to respond, it shall not be hard for HOT US Inc coordinators or Board of directors to liase with our partners on the ground and make the case for local Haiti UAV-collection imagery actions given the quality of the local UAV team on site. These are easy actions that can be done that can furnish Haitian and global OSM members with useful pixels at the end of the day. On the CHARTER piece, pls trust that Fred, Pierre, Sev and I do very well know the processes and issues at play. Fred did successfully activate the Charter for Hurricane Sandy in 2012 on the behalf of the Haitian government. Fred could have done the same for Cyclone Matthew and notified it to the Activation group in a timely fashion, this opportunity has not been seized.

[HOT] Fwd: Réponse Cyclone Matthew Haiti - tâches cartographiques : abris anticycloniques, Jérémie, Corail (Grande Anse) et Mapathon ouest-africain #map4ht #cyclonemattew de Bouaké (Côte d'Ivoire)
Hi there, Below in French is a short update on progresses made in consolidating geo-info about Haitian DPC emergency shelters in heavily impacted CycloneMatthew areas by mapping their surroundings in OpenStreetMap. Here's also a head's up on next mapping projects for Jeremie and Corail to harness on previous efforts and create comprehensive pre-crisis openstreetmap baseline datasets for those two cities. The Jeremie's mapping work comes with a timely and thorough UAV/drone mission carried out by Frederic Moine from Potentiel3.0 the haitiano-wiss carried out in this town in coordination with Direction de la Protection Civile (DPC) and the haitian scout movement. We will be working on those tasks tomorrow from Bouaké Ivory Coast as a mapping collective of 50 individuals from Ivory Coast, France, Senegal, Burkina-Faso, Togo, Bénin, Mali, Niger and Guinea joined by Haitian mappers over the island who are organizing from the local community spaces (universities, logistic bases like haiti.communitere.org in Port Au Prince). Let's collectively strengthen the local OpenStreetMap, opendata, FreeSoftware community grounded dynamics at play in Haiti prior CycloneMatthew so that Haitians can adequatly respond and build their future.

Il s'agissait d'un jeu de données partiel à l'échelle du pays, mais important sur la zone affectée qui avaient été mappés dans OpenStreetMap en 2011 pour le compte de l’Organisation Internationale des Migrations (IOM) par des membres de la Communauté OpenStreetMap Haiti (COSMHA). A travers cette première tâche cartographique il s'agit de renforcer d'Afrique et d'ailleurs des actions de la communauté OpenStreetMap en Haïti ou de communautés du logiciel libre, de la donnée ouverte à l’œuvre avant le Cyclone Matthew, de contribuer à la réponse et de préparer au mieux l'avenir [3]. Cette carteweb uMap [4] donne un aperçu des travaux en cours. Nous avons décidé après les abris anticycloniques de travailler sur les villes de Jérémie et Corail (Grande Anse) pour produire une cartographie exhaustive pré-désastre du bâti, des catégories d'usage du sol et des rues à partir de l'imagerie Bing de 2011 à disposition avant que d'autres ressources post crise ne soient mises à disposition sur cette zone. Le travail de cartographie carte de base pré-crise sur Jérémie [5] est important au vu des manques de la carte OSM sur cette ville, de l'étendue des dégâts et de la mission de captures d'images post crise via UAV/Drone (exemple Tabarre Hurricane Sandy 2012 [6]) d'une très grande précision que Frédéric Moine de l'association haitiano suisse Potentiel 3.0 vient d'y compléter aujourd'hui en coordination avec la DPC et le mouvement scout haitien. Il sera ainsi possible de disposer d'une carte OSM ouverte communautaire pré crise et de données libres post crise pour contribuer à une rigoureuse évaluation des dégâts sur cette ville. Cette tâche est réservée à des mappers expérimentés de par les difficultés techniques qu'elle présente. La seconde tâche sur Corail [7] n'en sera pas moins importante et le collectif haitiano suisse Potentiel3.0 en lien avec ses partenaires communautaires travaille à pouvoir voler et capturer des images similaires à celles de Jérémie sur Haiti. Ils méritent tout notre appui et notre aide pour qu'Haiti dispose de l'imagerie post désastre de qualité que ce collectif haïtien est expert à produire et résolument engagé à produire. Demain de Bouaké en Côte d'Ivoire nous serons 50 ivoiriens, français et ouest-africains à vous rejoindre sur ces tâches comme nous l'avion fait l'an passé de Lomé [8] A très bientôt, Nicolas [1] : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouak%C3%A9 [2] : https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ht/2016- October/001267.html [3] : https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ht/2016- October/001271.html [4] : https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/fr/map/cyclone-matthew-haiti- abris_105470#10/18.3552/-74.0479 [5] : http://taches.francophonelibre.org/project/39 [6] : http://drones.fsd.ch/en/2016/06/03/case-study-no-8-high- resolution-uav-imagery-for-camp-management-in-haiti/ [7] : http://taches.francophonelibre

Subject: Action de renforcement de capacités techniques et
organisationnelles OpenStreetMap au Bénin du 1 au 21 mai 2016
To: hot-francophone <hot-francoph...@openstreetmap.org>
Bonjour à tous et à toutes,
Après une fin d'année 2015 et un premier trimestre 2016 de forte activité
autour du projet OpenStreetMap et de la géomatique libre en Afrique de
l'Ouest, des membres de l'association OSM Bénin à Cotonou se préparent à
accueillir dans 3 semaines, une quinzaine de mappers du projet
OpenStreetMap (OSM) du Togo, du Burkina-Faso, de France, du Mali, du Niger,
du Sénégal et de Côte d'Ivoire .
Intégrés au sein du collectif Projet Espace OSM Francophone (ProjetEOF),
ils agiront dans le cadre d’une action de renforcement de capacités de la
Direction de la Francophonie Economique et Numérique (DFEN) de l’OIF pour y
mettre en oeuvre un programme de sensibilisation et formation en
cartographie numérique OSM (OpenStreetMap) et en géomatique libre.
Cette équipe travaillera du 1 au 21 mai 2016 dans la ville de Cotonou, en
organisant et animant une série d'ateliers selon un programme conçu de
façon étroite entre la DFEN, des mappers expérimentés dans l’animation OSM
en Afrique de l’Ouest, le collectif ProjetEOF, les collectifs locaux
d’animateurs OSM à commencer par celles et ceux de de la communauté OSM
béninoise.
Le travail en atelier concernera les aspects suivants nécessaires à
l'animation du projet OpenStreetMap associé à des initiatives de géomatique
libre et de données ouvertes au Bénin et en Afrique de l’Ouest :
- Usage des données OSM et données ouvertes (open data) dans des approches
de type Systèmes d'Information Géographique (SIG) et Cartographie au moyen
de logiciels et ressources web libres ;
- Usage des techniques de cartographie du projet OSM à destination de
différents publics portant sur différents cas d'usage, notamment la
conception et réalisation de programmes de cartographie à distance
utilisant imagerie satellite, cartes scannées, mobilisation des communautés
OSM francophone et globale, de cartographie terrain avec ou sans accès à
imagerie satellite, avec GPS) ;
- Introduction, démonstration et prise en main d'outils SIG utilisant la
données OSM ainsi que d’autres données ouvertes (open data) comme le
logiciel QGIS ;
- Introduction, démonstration et prise en main d'outils web utilisant les
données OSM ainsi que d'autres données libres comme le service de
cartographie web Umap et l’infrastructure de Données Spatiales (IDS) libre
GeOrchestra
- Introduction, démonstration et prise en main de techniques de
cartographie web (mobile et site web) avec la librairie java Leaflet
utilisant la donnée OSM (API) ainsi que d'autres sources de données
ouvertes (open data)
Deux ateliers de 5 jours chacun seront conduits au bénéfice d’une
quarantaine de Béninois et Béninoises issus de la communauté OSM, des
communautés de pratique du libre, des milieux professionnels de la
géomatique (gouvernement, organisations internationales, ONG). A travers
son approche de formation de formateurs, le programme s’adresse également
aux collectifs d'animateurs OSM du Bénin et d’Afrique de l’Ouest et vise à
travers eux les membres des communautés OSM de ces pays qui bénéficieront
en retour de l'expérience acquises par les animateurs tout au long des
activités d'animation OSM que ces derniers organiseront dans leurs pays au
retour de ces ateliers de Cotonou.
En marge de ces ateliers, il sera organisé :
- Un mapathon (atelier de création de données en masse) OpenStreetMap
ouvert aux participants des ateliers et aux acteurs des scènes géomatiques,
libristes et openstreetmap de la ville de Lomé. Le travail cartographique
qui y sera conduit portera sur des territories d'intérêt pour la
cartographie OSM au Bénin ou pour l'action humanitaire et l'aide au
développement dans la sous-région.
- Une journée de mapping party ("cartopartie") à dimension ouest-africaine
également ouverte à toutes et tous intéressés par l'actualité du projet OSM
dans cette zone territoriale.
Enfin, l’équipe, au terme de ces ateliers, mettra à profit la présence à
Cotonou d’un aussi grand nombre d’animateurs OSM ouest africains pour
travailler 5 jours de rang sur un programme interne de renforcement de
capacités organisationnelles liées à l’animation du projet OSM en Afrique

[HOT] From osmf-talk: "Balancing the presence of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT US Inc) in the OpenStreetMap Foundation"
Hi all, Apologies for crosspostings, resending to talk an email sent to osmf-talk about the HOT US Inc presence at the Board of the OSMF. Best, Nicolas Dear OSMF voting members and mappers, This short note (also published in my diary [1]) to draw your attention on the danger for OSMF (and the OSM project) in the case the United States NGO "Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team US Inc" (aka HOT US Inc) got a majority at the OSMF Board after this 2015 election. Mikel Maron, Joseph Reeves and Yantisa Akhadi, all members of the NGO HOT US Inc, are running for the OSMF Board [2]; Kate Chapman, the former ED of HOT US Inc serves already as Board Officer in OSMF. Shall Mikel Maron, Joseph Reeves and Yantisa Akhadi be elected, HOT US Inc will get a majority at the Board of the Foundation. This will provide a single organization of the OSM ecosystem (HOT US Inc) with an unprecedented and excessive power of influence over the Foundation. This running of three candidates from the same organization is puzzling and troublesome when one considers that HOT US Inc (and therefore its perspective around OpenStreetMap) is already represented at the OSMF Board since Sept 2013. Why extending its presence and influence and consequently diminishing the OSM diversity represented at the OSMF Board? A greater HOT US Inc presence at the OSMF Board would be a matter of concern in terms of : - balance of powers - diversity of visions, thoughts and practices around OSM - board dynamics: a collective of HOT US Inc Boardees would interact with single individuals. This is a bad practice which is not followed by any Organizations; this is specifically true for representative bodies (organization representing organizations) such as OSMF Here are some elements that OSMF voting members shall have in ming prior casting their ballot 28-Nov onwards bearing in minds that HOT US Inc and this perspective about OSM is already represented at the OSMF Board through Kate Chapman. The HOT US Inc perspective informs, like other perspectives, the work of the Foundation and has its effect on the OSM project, there is no need to take risks in providing this group with more room in the Foundation which is hot enough in these times of winter.

[HOT] GIS Day in Lomé and Haiti in the middle of two OSM and GIS capacity building missions
Hi all, Apologies for cross-postings, I am resending from crisis mappers, this note for those still active mapping this GIS Day 2015. Sharing a short wrap up of how the GIS Day looked like for two collectives of mappers active in Lomé and Port Au Prince which might be of interest. "GIS Day" 08 PM (UTC), it's mid day in Port Au Prince (Haiti) and night time in Lomé (Togo) after long and happy working hours around OSM, GIS and opendata. In Togo at Université de Lomé UL (Lomé University UL): - 50 people working all day long on QGIS with OpenStreetMap data created through the first 4 days of the maptrek mivamapper (Come map Togo local language) in Anfamé (Lomé) but also with data from the OCHA Core Operational Datasets (COD) and Fundamental Operational Dataset (FOD) accessed via the Humanitarian Responses and the HDX platforms. - 20 people working half a day exploring, visualizing and retrieving geodata of all sorts (openstreetmap, opendata, gray-licensed data) with the IFL (Infrastructure de Données Spatiales Francophone Libre/ "Free Francophone SDI"-FFS) hosted in France at AgroCampus Ouest and maintained with the support of the GeOrchestra community. - The same 20 spent their afternoon reinforcing their grasp on the webmapping tool uMap with the same kind of data - Asides of this, the same people kept mapping Anfamé and Biu cities as the first targets set for the mivamapper maptrek experience started last Saturday 14-November (our 8 days-long mapathon) - Now that night fell over Lomé, the preparatory work for our second State Of The Map Africa, the SOTMTG 2015, is intensifying. In Haiti at the Port Au Prince base of Haiti Communitere, - a couple of Haitian experienced mappers are being taught OSM on a train the trainer program - The same with the ProjetEOF collective are also organizing for both remote attendance of the SOTMTG 2015 and the last day of mivamapper - They are also laying the ground for a mapathon that will take place this 21-Nov at HC's base and will focus on Areas Of Interest for local communities in Haiti - Like the days before, they'll finish their days joining in Western African mappers in the mivamapper maptrek. A rich GIS day like most of our days in Haiti ([1], [2]) and in Togo ([3], [4], [5]) over the past 2 weeks and likely of the coming 10 days throughout those two OSM and Free GIS capacity building missions designed, funded and co-implemented with the Digital Directorate of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) and with our haitian partner Haiti Communitere Anyone interested on these initiatives and willing to join can follow blogs, wiki, mailing lists from ProjetEOF and local OSM groups from Togo, Niger, Mali, Burkina, Togo, Bénin and Sénégal as well as the FB and twitter accounts of those groups as well as the following hashtags #ProjetEOF #map4tg #mivamapper.

Intégrés au sein du collectif Espace OSM Francophone (ProjetEOF), ils agiront dans le cadre d’une action de renforcement de capacités de la Direction de la Francophonie Numérique (DFN) de l’OIF pour y mettre en oeuvre un programme de sensibilisation et formation en cartographie numérique OSM (OpenStreetMap) et en géomatique libre. Cette équipe travaillera du 25 septembre au 15 octobre 2015 dans la ville de Bouaké, en organisant et animant une série d'ateliers dans les lieux supports du projet OSM (université, lieux technologiques et associatifs) selon un programme conçu de façon étroite entre la DFN, des mappers expérimentés dans l’animation OSM en Afrique de l’Ouest, le collectif ProjetEOF, les collectifs locaux d’animateurs OSM à commencer par celles et ceux de de la communauté OSM ivoirienne. Le travail en atelier concernera les aspects suivants nécessaires à l'animation du projet OpenStreetMap associé à des initiatives de géomatique libre et de données ouvertes en Côte d’Ivoire et en Afrique de l’Ouest : - Usage des données OSM et données ouvertes (open data) dans des approches de type Systèmes d'Information Géographique (SIG) et Cartographie au moyen de logiciels et ressources web libres ; - Usage des techniques de cartographie du projet OSM à destination de différents publics portant sur différents cas d'usage, notamment la conception et réalisation de programmes de cartographie à distance utilisant imagerie satellite, cartes scannées, mobilisation des communautés OSM francophone et globale, de cartographie terrain avec ou sans accès à imagerie satellite, avec GPS) ; - Introduction, démonstration et prise en main d'outils SIG utilisant la données OSM ainsi que d’autres données ouvertes (open data) comme le logiciel QGIS ; - Introduction, démonstration et prise en main d'outils web utilisant les données OSM ainsi que d'autres données libres comme le service de cartographie web Umap et l’infrastructure de Données Spatiales (IDS) libre GeOrchestra - Introduction, démonstration et prise en main de techniques de cartographie web (mobile et site web) avec la librairie java Leaflet utilisant la donnée OSM (API) ainsi que d'autres sources de données ouvertes (open data) Deux ateliers de 5 jours chacun seront conduits au bénéfice d’une quarantaine d’Ivoiriens et d’Ivoiriennes issus de la communauté OSM, des communautés de pratique du libre, des milieux professionnels de la géomatique (gouvernement, organisations internationales, ONG) et notamment les milieux de l’enseignement et de la recherche.

Re: [HOT] Conflicts of Interest
Hi all, This short email to thank you Dale for your post and for sharing this information about the fact that the ARC is ok with you running to the HOT board and to thank John and Mikel for their clarifications about the handling of their past conflicts of interest in HOT. As previously emailed on this thread, in this case, the handling of conflicts of interest is linked to the questions of the autonomy/independence of HOT as an organization and in a balanced management of its partnerships. Of course, there are various views on this within HOT and various practices as well in the Humanitarian/Development fields, and is surely an area for reflexions and discussions in the context of this election.

If anyone identifies other conflicts that I haven't noticed please feel free to point them out. As promised I've written my conflicts up. https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/dkunce/diary/34550 One key thing to my running for the Board is that American Red Cross is ok with me serving on the HOT board given that I don't participate in any financial discussions with HOT that are not already in place such as Missing Maps.

It's quite difficult to follow if the topic about which you have a conflict of interest, is something coming up a lot in board discussions. So in your case Dale, if the board were needing to discuss ARC a lot, then you might have to recuse yourself a lot. That's a bit awkward but not impossible. We found it very difficult in the past having HOT paid staff members on the board, particularly as they didn't always seem to understand and accept these rules. I guess it was understandable that they wanted to take strategic decisions about the projects and parts of the organisation which most effected them and their (HOT staff) work. Can be tricky. As such I'll be posting my conflicts to the Board Election Wiki and encourage others to do the same. I called mine a Declaration of interests and linked it off my user page rather than off the elections wiki (but that's partly because, I was *on* the board when I wrote it. Also it serves just as well as a declaration for anyone looking at me as a OSMF CWG member) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Harry_Wood/Declaration_of_Interests Maybe that's useful as a template. Direct financial interests (who pays you) is the most important thing for people to be aware of, but I tried to think of other affiliations I have which might conflict. I also noted when it was last updated, since this information can obviously go out of date.

Re: [HOT] HOT Community Meeting Summary Notes and Next Steps
Hi Heather, I'd like to thank you, Harry, Russel and Kristen to have organized those three consultative community calls, releasing those notes in a short timeline and already started acting upon some of the below action points. Like all, I look forward to reading the future documents (TOR and plan) I take advantage of this announcement to stress the most fundamental point that the transition plan has to address: take into consideration the on-going election (results in 2 weeks time) and allow for the new board to act upon the work of the previous board and community for managing the transition.

All: Your support and help during this time is most appreciated. These were attended by a total of 17 people with some people attending multiple calls. There are 86 members of HOT. It is my understanding that there is about 1000 people on the main HOT mailing list. The descriptive summary of attendees: Membership chair, HOT Board members (current), HOT Board Member candidates, HOT Staff, HOT members and HOT community contributors. About the Executive Director (Transition, interim plans) A draft description of the roles and responsibilities was discussed and written. These can be found in the community call notes. There were some opinions and inquiries into whether an interim Executive Director was required. Some actions: 1. Provide a full job description of the current Executive Director - Owner: Kate, Status: requested 2. Provide a full, public Executive Director Transition plan - Owner: Heather/Board Status: Drafted, need ED, current Board permission to share, Some items are confidential (eg. staff and partner management) 3. Consult with HOT’s advisor, Allen Gunn of Aspiration on the Executive Director Transition plan, Interim Executive Director job description and legal next steps - Owner: Heather, Status: Email sent 4. Interim Executive Director Job Description to be shared - Owner: Board (current) 5. Provide next steps to community and membership - Owner: Heather, Board. To be sent within the next 24 hours. About the timing of the Announcement Harry and Heather explained to the attendees about the Board (current) decision and timing of the announcement. This is a rare situation. Most Boards and Executive Directors do not change at the same time. Some actions: 1. Governance Working Group to write best practices for managing Board transition 2. Membership Chair and election committee to write up their recommendations for improvement to this process.

Re: [HOT] Recap of Community Call 2, reminder of CC 3
. - Fundraising - There is no results so far and no on-going action, so no urgent action is required during the transition time. - Strategy - The strategy is in place. It may be revised by the new Board/WGs /Members. - Networking/Partnerships - They are in place and can be put on-hold during the transition or managed at Board/ProjectManagers/WorkingGroups/Members level. - Outreach/Communication - Can be dealt with (members, Board, WG and Staffs). - Documentation - It is key to any handing over - It is or shall be in place, documented and known by Board and Project Members. - If this is not the case, this knowledge can be collectively built over time within the remaining time in office of Kate (paid work) and afterwards This workload for the transition period can be filled out not necessarily with an interim ED - Existing staffs, - Support of Board, WG and members - Kate’s continued action within HOT US through volunteered/paid work (as member/ED until 10-April) and afterwards through - Volunteered work as a member for which she planned for (involvement in OpenAerialMap, TheMissingMap projects as well as serving as a Board Officer for UAViator) - Additional support such as admin time from Kristen and/or time for an interim coordinator in charge of the day to day can be brought in if needed.

Re: [HOT] Conflicts of Interest
are natural and are not something that should preclude any employee of a HOT partner from running or serving on the board. This type of cross pollination is healthy not only for HOT as a whole but it provides great opportunities for skilled partner representatives to give time and skills in areas needed by HOT such as technology project management, fundraising, governance, networking, and visioning. These skills and relationships are desperately needed by HOT as it seeks to secure long term non-project funding and become more sustainable. I believe conflicts should be handled in the follow 2 basic ways. 1. Potential conflicts should be talked about and acknowledged well before any actual conflicts arise. 2. Board members should completely recuse themselves from any conversation. They should not listen to or be a part of the conversation during any activities where a conflict exist. In following with the basic conflict rules above I think it should be every board candidate to explain any potential conflicts within their candidate statement. As such I'll be posting my conflicts the the Board Election Wiki and encourage others to do the same. I also encourage those candidates that haven't yet created a candidate statement of manifesto to do so now. Explain why you are running for the HOT board. Why you are passionate about HOT and what your priorities will be in the next year. This is important for voting members and for other board candidates so that we can have a frank, honest, and robust discussion about the future of HOT. ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot -- Nicolas Chavent Projet OpenStreetMap (OSM) Projet Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) Projet Espace OSM Francophone (EOF) Mobile (FRA): +33 (0)6 52 40 78 20 nicolas.chav...@hotosm.org Email: nicolas.chav...@gmail.com Skype: c_nicolas Twitter: nicolas_chavent ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

Re: [HOT] HOT is now on LinkedIn
to be a way to reach an audience we may not already have contact with. The clear aim is NOT to replicate the HOT List or anything else, but provide a way for people who may not be part of the Open Source Community to become aware of what we do, especially in a Humanitarian context and then join our community. It also may provide possible avenues for Sponsorship with organizations who have never heard of HOT, etc 3. Why the Discussion group, where it seems discussions are planned to be done, rather than simply linking to existing channels? And this is a closed group (maybe by definition in Linkedin) so it will not help people volunteering to have a clear picture of what happens if there is this group with discussion behind the scenes Open Groups are very prone to the Spam you mention above. The closed group is intended to avoid that. It is purely intended to be an Announce Only group and any questions/discussions will be generally redirected to the HOT List. Also, in some organizations, mail lists like the HOT list IRC Channels are not permitted, by corporate policy, so we still have an opportunity to keep in contact with people via this Group It is just another avenue that may or may not be worthwhile. Also, some people are a little shy about asking initial questions on lists that go to a lot of people, so sometimes a small venue to encourage them can be useful. A few minor remarks or questions: I think HOT the NGO has been officially created in 2010 and not 2012, and do not understand well the figure of 51-200 employees. Is it the total number of people that have been contracted since the creation of the organization? I just guessed the Number, am totally open to suggestions. I would guess it could be either Voting Members or All Volunteers. If you have a figure, let me know will adjust it.

[HOT] Northeast Nigeria Crisis activation
Hi all, As discussed in the last Activation Working Group meeting, a short note about this first job (#884) [1] of the Northeast Nigeria Crisis activation that will be coordinated by Rafael and I. The Northeast Nigeria has been affected for years now by a complex humanitarian crisis fueled by the insurgency of the Boko Haram group which has gradually gained in intensity and impact affecting over the past months its neighbouring countries and turning into a regional crisis (check 6-Feb OCHA Report over the security situation in the State of Borno [2]). Baseline data (places, residential areas and building as well as road networks) over this large affected region are needed for the various actors engaged in the response of this complex regional emergency. Several OSM initiatives have been lead in some areas (Nigeria e-Health data import, mapping by local OSM groups from Niger and Cameroun, as well as the efforts of individual efforts) and individual efforts are still continuing. Discussions with humanitarian actors highlighted the relevance of OSM data in this crisis and a continued effort but stressed at the same time the need to operate in a discrete mode given the political conflict dimension of this crisis.

Re: [HOT] Eu Aid Volunteers and OSM
Thanks Jorieke, highest credit for Sev then since he followed the Eurosha mapping teams of Burundi, Central African Republic and Kenya. But truly you and the other mappers from the EUROSHA project made it easy for Sev and I to find the energy, stamina to work with you starting and growing OSM in those countries through paid and a lot of voluntary time. These are for me fantastic memories still acutely vivid and energizing, so again, thanks and congrats for this collective engagement of you Eurosha mappers. Hopefully, in the EU, we through EUROSHA opened a way that other volunteering organizations will continue exploring and adopting like VSO, Ideally, those experiments will feed into the World Humanitarian Summit and the on-going open dialogue on changing the aid system at play within the large humantarian and development communities.

[HOT] Togo-based Western African mapathon to support the OSM activation in support of the Ebola humanitarian response
Hi there, I am forwarding this email posted by Emmanuel from OSM Ivory Coast (OSM CI) about the Ebola mapathon that a collective of mappers from Western African countries (from Togo, Ivory Coast, Burkina-Faso, Niger, Bénin and Sénégal) gathered in Togo will be organizing tomorrow (4-Oct, 2014) night 7:00 PM (GMT) onwards. The mapathon will take place after a one day long mapping party the same day (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM) that this collective of Western African mappers will be organizing for the members of a togoles free software association - l' Association Togolaise des Utilisateurs de Logiciel Libre (ATULL). Both events are part of a regional OSM-based (technical and organizaional) capacity building program of the Projet Espace OSM Francophone (EOF) which started about ten days ago and will be held in the Village Du Bénin at the Campus of the Lomé University where the workshops are based. Anyone willing to join from afar (or in-country) is warmly welcome !

Re: [HOT] Keeping the data consistency when updating an area with a new imagery
Thanks Severin for turning the contents of this Burkina Faso workshop into those structured wikipages. Nico On Sun, Jul 6, 2014 at 3:06 PM, Severin Menard severin.men...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, When we get recent imagery over areas that have already been mapped with Bing imagery, very often it does not have exactly the same georeferencing, and very often we do not have any trace or not enough to fix this. Consequently, either the contributor will offset the new imagery on the vector data, or on the contrary will move the vector data. It results the map becomes less consistent it was before. To solve this, when partnering with GISCorps to map Malakal http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/413 in South Sudan, I had created a grid of offset correction points with the great offset_db plug-in for JOSM http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Imagery_Offset_Database so that every contributor could, in two clicks, get the new imagery aligned on the Bing imagery, easily update the data and keep the data consistency. It worked really well. As we will get more and more access to recent imagery, my idea was to find a way to repeat this without relying to the previous action of a single person and spread the use of the offset_db plugin. Recently, in a workshop with various contributors in Burkina Faso, I tested a workflow involving the Tasking Manager and it worked also well. Next step is now to involve the crowd to this process. I created an OSM wikipage both in French and English (any correction by native speakers would be appreciated) : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Tasking_Manager/Offset_db and created a job for Bossangoa (http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/578) in Central African Republic, because our partners from the HIU kindly provided a recent NextView Imagery. Once you catch the workflow, you will see it is really quick to create offset corrections points and the outcome (the data consistency) are really substantial. Please join!

[HOT] Mapathon OSM frontière Tchad/RDC) aux Journées du Logiciel Libre (JLL) N'Djaména - 9/10 mai 2014
L'Association pour le Développement de l'Informatique Libre au Tchad (ADIL), un partenaire de HOT et l'une des structures les plus actives au développement du projet OSM au Tchad organise à N'Djamena ces 9 et 10 mai 2014 les Journées du Logiciel Libre [1] (JLL) Au programme desquelles figure un mapathon OpenStreetMap (OSM) que la communauté OSM tchadienne (OSM TD) et l'équipe de coordination de l'Activation RCA de HOT animeront. Ce mapathon, au vu de la crise majeure qui affecte la République Centrafricaine (RCA), sera consacré à la cartographie de la zone frontalière entre les deux pays (carte uMap [2] et projet cartographique Gestionnaire Tâche HOT [3]). Sur cette vaste zone, il s'agit de cartographier les routes principales, les zones d’habitation et d'ajouter des noms de localités en provenance du jeu de données GNS (Noms des serveurs GEOnet) [4] ou connus des participants. On préparera ainsi le terrain à une cartographie plus détaillée de la zone frontalière qui est en cours parallèlement dans les deux territoires. Cet effort sera d'une grande utilité pour les populations touchées par la Crise centrafricaine et les acteurs mobilisés dans la réponse humanitaire. Cet effort aidera aussi à renforcer la qualité et la pertinence de ce bien commun cartographique précieux (wiki OSM RCA [5] et billet de blog Activation RCA [6]) qu'est la carte OSM pour la RCA. Le 9 mai, certains membres d'ADIL du projet OSM au Tchad lanceront ce mapathon sous forme d'une cartopartie alternant des sessions désormais classiques au Tchad sur - L'état du projet OSM au Tchad, - Les modalités d'action de la communauté locale, - Des démonstrations des pratiques de collecte terrain et d'édition de la base OSM (gps, cartes scannées, josm) ainsi que des ressources OSM, - Le lancement de cette campagne de cartographie à distance Le 10 mai, sur la base du travail de préparation d'ADIL et OSM Tchad, les membres du projet OSM sont invités à prendre part à distance à ce mapathon sur le modèle des actions menées par HOT et la communauté OSM en RDC sur la ville de Lubumbashi avec l'implication de MSF_UK et de communautés locales. Dores et déjà, les projets OSM du Sénégal, du Togo, du Burkina Faso s'organisent pour y prendre part. La liste de discussion hot (fils de discussion en anglais et français) permettra une coordination. Les progrès de cette séquence cartographique seront relayés sur les comptes twitter et Facebook d'ADIL, de la Communauté OSM Tchad, de HOT ainsi que des autres groupes OSM ou des individus qui y prendront part Pour OSM TD, le groupe Activation RCA, Nicolas [1] = http://www.adil.td/ [2] = http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/central-african-republic_3868#6/8.255/24.653 [3] = http://tasks.hotosm.org/job/518 [4] = http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Potential_Datasources#Noms_des_serveurs_GEOnet [5] = http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:WikiProject_Central_African_Republic [6] = http://hot.openstreetmap.org/node/206 -- Nicolas Chavent Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team http://hot.openstreetmap.org/ Mobile (FRA): +33 (0)6 52 40 78 20 Email: nicolas.chav...@hotosm.org Email: nicolas.chav...@gmail.com Skype: c_nicolas Twitter: nicolas_chavent ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
[HOT] OSM Mapathon (Chad/CAR border) at the Free Software Day (JLL) N'Djamena 9/10 May
Hi all, The Free Software Association (ADIL - Association pour le Développement de l'Informatique Libre au Tchad), a partner of HOT in Chad and of one of the organization most active in the developing of the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project in this country is organizing in N'Djamena these 9 and 10-Mai 2014 the Free Software Days (JLL - Journées du Logiciel Libre ) [1] The JLL agenda feature an OSM mapathon that the Chadian OSM community (OSM TD - Communauté OSM Tchad) OSM Tchad and the HOT CAR Activation Team will animate. This mapathon will contribute to the Humanitarian response to the Central African Republic (CAR) Crisis and the mapping will target the border area between the two countries (map uMap [2] and HOT Taskin manager job 518 HOT [3]). Over this wide area, participants will be asked to map main roads, landuse areas and add place names from local knowledge or from the GNS database [4]. This will lay the ground for a more detailled mapping at locality level over the border area similar to what is on-going in parallel throughout the two territories. This effort will greatly help affected populations as well as the actors of this Humanitarian Response, it will help making of OSM in this country an essential cartographic asset (wiki CAR [5] and CARCrisis Activation update [6]). On 9-May, ADIL and OSM TD folks will start the mapathon in the form of a one day mapping held in N'Djamena at the National Library, they will alternate sessions over the following: - State of the OSM project in Chad, - The OSM TD way of growing as a community - Demos over survey and mapping practices (gps, walking/field papers, josm) as well as OSM resources, - Launching of the remote mapping campaign over the Chad/CAR border area. On 10-May, harnessing on the initial mapping work by ADIL and OSM TD, members of the OSM project are invited to join in this mapathon on the model of similar actions carried out by HOT, the local OSM DRC community and the Lubumbashi group with the implication of MSF_UK other local communities. As of today, the OSM projects from Sénégal, Togo and Burkina Faso are organizing to take part in this mapping initiative by OSM TD and the CARCrisis Activation Team. The HOT mailing-list (French and English threads) will allow for coordination over the two days. Mapping progresses throughout this cartographic sequence will be relayed over the twitter and facbook accounts of ADIL, OSM TD, HOT as well as accounts from OSM groups and individuals joining in the event.

[HOT] The London HOT Congo Mapathon: hashtag for the mapping in Democratic Republic
Hi all, *Version en français dans le corps du texte ci après* I had a quick chat with Shoaib who created #mapcongo for the first mapping party in Berlin. It's efficient, straight, easy to get and has been in use and surely great for any re-use. One thing to consider if we were to continue using it is the fact that we have two Congo, with two local OSM groups cd Congo, The Democratic Republic of the cg Congo A way forward may be to suffix the two letters iso country code to #mapcongo (#mapcongocd and #mapcongocg) We do not have, nor the coordination bodies active in the UN, DHN etc, a formal mechanism to decide on which # to reuse (when already in place) or to create at the event of a crisis or for a mapping projects (support to disaster preparedness or economic development action). But this is something we need to put in place. In the case of a project like this mapping in DRC, the choice of a hashtag (#mapcongo or others) can endure and it's somehow part of the osm/identity of the project. It might be great to get the views of a couple of folks mapping in Congo and Cong DR on what seems most appropriate for them in the long run, so that we can have easily serachable twitter contents associated to those mapping campaigns Version en français J'ai eu un bref chat avec Shoaib qui a crée le #mapcongo pour la premiere mapping party de Berlin où la cartographie de Lubumbashi a commencé. #mapcongo : efficace, direct et parlant, a été utilisé et présente donc un avantage certain pour des usages ultérieurs. Toutefois dnas cette réutilisation à venir, il nous faut faire cas des deux Congos où des groupes OSM se constituent : cd Congo, The Democratic Republic of the cg Congo Une solution pourrait être de suffixer le code de pays ISO au #mapcongo : - #mapcongocd - #mapcongocg Nous n'avons pas (HOT), ainsi que les structures de coordinaiton (UN, DHN) de processus en place pour decider des # à ré-utiliser (quand déjà crée et en place)ou à créer pour le cas de crise ou de projet carto (prévention ou appui au développement). C'est à discuter et mettre en oeuvre de facon souple et pratique. Dans le cas d'un projet comme celui ci (RDC), le choix de ce hashtag (#mapcongo ou autre) peut avoir un impact dans le temps et a donc a voir (plus ou moins) avec une forme d'identité OSM du pays. Il serait bon d'avoir l'avis, les vues de certains et certaines qui sont actifs/ actives autour d'OSM au Congo et au Congo DR sur ce qui leur semple le plus pertinent pour eux dans le long terme de façon à pouvoir disposer de contenus crées sur twitter en lien avec cette cartographie OSM facilement mobilisables. ++ Nico On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 9:07 PM, nicolas chavent nicolas.chav...@gmail.comwrote: Hi Jorieke and all, Thanks Jorieke for your email and reminding the main focus (FieldPapers' digitialization) For hashtag, I am all for suggestions, would be great to keep the one used from Shohahib and Ivan's first mapping party in Berlin or jointly define a short one reusable for any future mapping in RDC #map4dc, looking forward to reading suggestions Excellent evening towards the coming of this event Ciao ++ Nico On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 1:28 PM, Jorieke Vyncke jorieke.vyn...@gmail.comwrote: Hi all, Thanks a lot for your reactions!

Aux équipes/ communautés OSM et HOT, Avant toute chose et une fois de plus, nous voudrions vous transmettre nos vifs remerciements à chaque individu actif dans cette réponse de crise. Votre travail est un don pour celles et ceux engagés dans la réponse sur le terrain. Votre cartographie à l'échelle du bâti sur de si larges théâtres d'opération est une aide immense et précieuse pour nos équipes mobiles, ainsi que pour les nombreux internationaux récemment arrivés et nécessitant un briefing sur la dynamique notamment spatiale de l'épidémie. Identifier, localiser et accéder à des lieux de peuplement reculés est très souvent une course contre le temps dès lors que quelques heures peuvent faire la différence et pour les patients, et pour arriver à temps de façon à prévenir de nouvelles contaminations et d'enrayer ainsi la propagation de l'épidémie. L'utilisation conjointe des savoirs de terrain mobilisables et des cartes OSM ou produites à partir de données OSM nous a permis de gagner en efficacité, d'améliorer par des gains de temps l'élasticité de notre réponse. A propos des noms de lieux de peuplement, nous avons été acapable de constituer à partir de données terrains collectées au GPS une base de données consolidée de qualité portant sur les noms des localités (lieux de peupelement) des sous-préfectures de Gueckedou-Centre, Temessadou-Dibo, and Guedembou. Nous pensons que cela pourrait être un apport intéressant pour le projet OSM. ce serait notre contribution en support (à notre tour) pour votre remarquable et étonnant travail. Ces données peuvent être librement partagées dans la mesure où elles demeurrent attribuées à MSF-CH. Il se peut qu'il y ait encore des modifications mineures à y apporter, notamment dans les endroits les plus reculés et inaccessibles, mais toutes ces localités ont été relevés au GPS et la toponymie confirmée par certains de leurs habitants. En espérant que cela vous soit d'intérêt. Une fois de plus : merci !

Building-scale mapping for such an area is a huge help for our outreach teams, and for many expats newly arrived and needing a briefing on how the outbreak is evolving. Finding remote localities and access to them is often a race against time as a few hours can make a serious difference, not only for patients, but also to arrive in time to prevent new contacts to happen and keep the outbreak from spreading further. Cross-checking between local knowledge and OSM maps allows us to work much faster Regarding locality names, we were able to acquire through various field trip with GPS devices a confirmed database of localities covering the sub-prefectures of Gueckedou-Centre, Temessadou-Dibo, and Guedembou. Thought this might be a nice input for you guys, to come as support to your amazing work. This data can be freely shared as long as credited to MSF-CH. There might be still some minor confirmations/changes to make, especially in remote/inaccessible areas, but these places have been taken directly by GPS on the field, and confirmed with local inhabitants.

Deux versions de l'image sont disponibles. L'une en couleurs naturelles

Hi,
Another version of the Spot-6 layer, with the near-infrared band
used as red in red-green-blue (instead of the natural red
band) is available.
It provides a nice view of vegetation (in red), and thus also
makes it easy to see residential areas and rivers.
To add it, replace spot6 by spot6_nir in the URL given in

Re: [HOT] OpenDRI Field Guide Released
Hey there I'd like to second Severin's on the overall appreciation of the OpenDRI guide We opened up a conversation around translation towards French that could be facilitated by TWB thanks through the partnership HOT/TWB Sev opened up. I last joined Sev in enhancing the contexts of the 3 to 4 years of work around OSM in Haiti to better highlight what made both possible and special (an outcome in itself) the ARC/HRC project around OSM in Northern Haiti; happy to help out with those involved in OSM work in Haiti on an enrichment of the HT story I look forward to hearing back on John's talk tomorrow at SOTMUS on this topic. ++ Nico On Sat, Apr 12, 2014 at 9:40 PM, Severin Menard severin.men...@gmail.comwrote: Dear John, Sorry to get back on this topic a few weeks after the release of the first draft of this report, but time ran quicker than I hoped before finding enough time to read it properly. First, I would like to say to express my opinion about the report: it is really impressive. It is written in a concise, understandable, educational way that make it easy and pleasant to read and it is a great, flexible tool to advocate for and set open data, disaster resilience and community based mapping. It also describes in a very detailed, open manner the OpenDRI project organization and staff. I have one question, one suggestion and a few feedback points. The question is: will this report be soon translated into various languages (French, Spanish, etc.) to be largely disseminated? The suggestion is about the past OSM community experiences in Haiti mentioned by Robert in the Community Mapping with the Red Cross in Haiti insert. The resources that allow such programs to happen are based on various training + community building projects that have started since March 2010, encompassing IOM embed projects, USAID funded projects (for a total of USD 1 million, I would say at least) + voluntary remote and/or field supports of many individuals (Nicolas Chavent, Jaakko Helleranta, Brian Wolford, Sebastien Pierrel, Pierre Béland, Robert Baker, Delphine Bédu, Emilie Reiser and me but I am certainly forgetting people - please forgive me). It would be worth to include and analyse them as OpenDRI related pioneering initiatives and regarding the lessons that have been learned from them. What do you think? My feedback points: Regarding OpenData and France, this slideshow provides I think some the main past and future milestones: http://www.slideshare.net/laurelucchesi/france-open-data-national-action-plan-g8 Regarding community building, the report emphasizes chapter 6 (first collection) the importance to maintain a sustainable, fun spirit and involvement among the mappers (I prefer this word rather than surveyors, because it seems related to the traditional survey techniques), but chapter 7 (Catalyzing) does not describe not much how this can be maintained, what is actually an important issue whose solution is likely not unique. Page 56, the second step is called Import data what seems a bit as import of existing data may not happen (if there is none) and because it encompasses as well the remote, crowd-sourcing mapping that is likely to bring more data than the potential import. I also found a few typos that may have been already found by others: The Open Cities Toolkit will available in mid 2014: be is missing visualize the likely impacy of a hazard on schools: impact, not impacy geographic data from the UK's Ordinance Survey: Ordnance, not Ordinance users to fuse data from data catalogues, community mapping platforms: use and not fuse? Learning happens quickest when failure is transparent to all and s team: s to be deleted? [optional] Inubator or Accelerator services to the OpenDRI initiative: incubator and not inubator Connections between stakeholders who have umet challenges: I guess unmet, not umet COSMHASTM: they prefer COSMHA-STM Sincerely, Severin On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 3:45 AM, Kate Chapman k...@maploser.com wrote: Hi All, I wanted to point out to you that the Open Data for Resilience Initiative: Field Guide was released yesterday(1).

Hello again everyone,
The task manager jobs for all of the main cities are coming along very
nicely. I have been amazed at how quickly the community responded to
these jobs.
In addition to the jobs in the cities, there is also some mapping that
needs to be done over a wider area for context. In order to help
understand, model, and predict the spread of the disease it is useful
to have population data for all of the villages and also road networks
to help understand where infected people who travel might have
traveled through. We can help with both of these issues using the
combination of what high resolution imagery we have (Bing, Pleiades,
Orbview, etc), as well as some very recent LandSat 8 imagery over the
entire affected area in 2 different color combinations. These Landsat
layers were put online by JGC and show natural color in the 432
image and a traditional false color image in the 753 layer listed
below. Both of these image layers were taken at the exact same time,
however the 753 layer shows the area in 3 different infra-red colors.
By using these two layers together it is possible to tell apart
objects that are the same color (like a village with brown roofs, vs a
brown field). In these images villages will appear brown in the 432
layer and bright pink in the 753 layer.
tms[19]:http://imagery.openstreetmap.fr/tms/1.0.0/guinee_c10_l8_pxs432/
{zoom}/{x}/{y}
tms[19]:http://imagery.openstreetmap.fr/tms/1.0.0/guinee_c10_l8_pxs753/
{zoom}/{x}/{y}
The best way I have found to use these is to load them both into JOSM
with the 753 layer listed above the 432 layer. Then, turn down the
opactiy (transparency) on the 753 layer to about 50 to 60 percent and
you should see the villages look quite apparent. To start with just
try this in an area where a lot of villages are already mapped to get
a sense for how to set up the imagery layers and what to look for.
Basically, the villages will be a bright pinkish hue with a kind of
shimmering look from the 432 layer underneath.
Hopefully we can get maybe 5 to 10 people working on this over the
whole area we have Landsat for. I don't think it is worth creating
such a huge job on the task manager for this since it is such a broad
area. Just try to upload (and update) once every 1/2 hour or so.
Also, it would be a good idea to install the Geochat plugin for josm
and login to it as well as right clicking on the Geochat text box and
clicking 'show users on map'. This will let you see other Geochat
users in the same area. If all the people who work on this task use
that setup the risk of conflicts is basically 0. And finally, I am on
mumble if you have any questions about the setup of what to do. It
would be cool to have a room of people working on this together so you
can all share tips on there.
Anyway, thanks for all the help so far and let's keep going on this
new stuff as well. If you plan to work on this, please just post a
short message to the list here when you start so I can get a sense of
how many people end up doing this. It is a bit tricky to set up, but
is a really fun thing to work on once you have it all set up.

Hi Russ No doubt that you'll get some results with Google Translate and that this can help out for day_to_day fixes, but as the Mongolia project grows, given the sparse English skills of the local mappers, some translation support will be needed to get their stories out first in English and then in other languages.

Re: [HOT] USAID's Development Innovation Ventures - Letter of Interest (Due April 15th)
Hi Kate, Thanks for having spot this opportunity and I fully agree with you that HOT has to launch some of its FR and grant_writting forces into those options. The two Haitian projects (STM020, Cap103) as well as the Tech work (you and Tim carried out) around the HOT Export as well as the USAID OTI interest in furthering support to tool development or to see projects ala HT STM020 and Cap103 being replicated/adapted in HT or elsewhere or the USAID strong ties we developed since HT 2010 are great assets that would make HOT efforts in seeking additional USAID grants likely to bear fruits. Just wondering if you have already something in mind, or if we start our FR brainstorming for HOT in 2014 and from a wide list narrow down the FR items that fit the USAID grants you identified above ? *Regionalization of the FR effort* : other National Dev Agencies have similar programs, it would be good to list them as well and see how to work with them DFID - UK : who funded the HIF and the ongoing OAM proposal submitted) France - Agence Française de Développement Japan ?

The more I have been directly working over the last year from Haiti to Africa (Senegal, Chad, Togo, Burkina-Faso) building, strengthening, supporting in a variety of ways local OSM groups active from ecosystems composed of Academics (mostly Departments of Geography), tech groups of various forms (Co-working spaces, Academic Computer Labs, FreeSoftwareAssociations), local government and COB/NGO related to some International Actors, the more I deeply felt the need for better documentation, knowledge and information dissemination around : * Open data - community re-use stories [1] * Open data - government re-use stories [2] * Open data and Open Source Software movements *tout court* and from the Basics, those points are still way to new and not widely enough known and discussed outside of circle, we are still *minoritaires*. * Multi lingual documentation and for the areas where I have been working in dire need to have French as well as Local (HT Kreyol) or African regional language being translated into from English. Such documents as well as more similar documents on DHN activities and key achievements (reports/ white papers) can really help us crisis mappers to make an even higher impact while operating (remotely or on_the_ground) and create autonomous self standing groups/ communities well articulated to our global forum, and its various members. I'd be happy to learn more on key resources at hand anf find the best fashion to get non_English speaking communities sharing stories as well as benefitting in return from the efforts (reports, articles, papers and other products) into their language so that our global efforts are better appreciated, our virtues better known and through the *immanent_power_of_virtues* our collective actions gain more chance to inspire thinkers and doers of this Earth to add to our thinking and action.

After going to a few major emergencies and feeling that I was having to develop the play book each time, I decided that we needed to document guidance for our IMOs in future emergencieshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing. So, when wrapping up my time in the Philippines, I decided that rather than writing a lessons learned paper that would eventually be lost in a filing system, I would sequester myself, Kristina Mackinnon, and Yaelle Link to write the guidancehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharing.

I really want this guidancehttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1m8VOx449lQx5VST2hzI80vgkuyNU5chBUYFiWPs7qr4/edit?usp=sharingto be a living document and thus it will remain in Google Docs. If someone wants a dated copy, they can always save a PDF version.

I had not been possible to include the UAV component in the funded activities of the USAIDOTIHRI funded_supported mapping projects CAP_103. HOT was not in a position at that time to operate UAV since the policy around this cutting_edge and new technique for high_res imagery collection was at its early edges and in the making; uncertainty linked to the liability of the organization (flying/ producs) being an area where the bases of knowledge was not mature/firm enough for engaging he Organization. Really, Frederic Moine, humble, low profile, hard_worker and tenacious (with CERN right now and is associated as a volunteeras, in France with CartONG http://www.cartong.org, a leading GIS/Mapping NGO in France, tenacious has been behind the use of UAV in Haiti mostly in coordination with IOM and for one mission (the Association Drone Adventures DA).

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your email. We went through the LO GitHub repository, most of its structure, as well as the LO overall structure, chapters and contents seem still under edition (many files in draft modes). If you say that the materials are now stable, let's look together at them, and see how easily within the next 5 days we can work directly from your last version.

This effort is supported by the Direction de la Francophonie Numérique (DFN) de l'Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF). Since the LearnOSM project has been evolving with important/ on-going and not yet finalized changes affecting both the overall structure by section (Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced), the structure by chapter and the content of the chapters. Those changes are also reflected on the structure of the LearnOSM GitHub Repository which was not fully stable yet. In this context we have decided to complete the translation of the LO materials (version 1.0) which are currently accessible through the LearnOSM Website (Html page from GitHub) in the form of two series of Google Documents : English Learning Guideshttps://github.com/hotosm/learnosm/wiki/English-Learning-Guides English Teaching Guideshttps://github.com/hotosm/learnosm/wiki/English-Teaching-Guides We chose to use Google documents, as working documents for the flexibility they allow us, and to contribute to the LearnOSM project the outcomes of the translation into MarkDown documents organized within a GitHub repository to remain within the spirit and practice of LearnOSM. The translation will produce - a serie of Google documents for Learning and Teaching guides - a serie of associated Mark Down (draft) and images files organized in a forked GH repository (https://github.com/learnosmfrteam/learnosm). The Google docs will allow for immediately ready to use LO materials to support OSM activities in French speaking countries by the end of 2013. The MarkDown and Image files will work as reusable raw materials for translating LO materials (version 2.0) once finalized through the LO GitHub repository. We already created a new wiki page on the LO github repo: https://github.com/hotosm/learnosm/wiki/French-Learning-Guides this page will be updated to reflect our daily progress.

Re: [HOT] Multilingual Site Support for HOT Export

Re: [HOT] HOT/HDM web rendering
HDDM for Humanitarian and Development Data Model. For Development purposes, JOSM defaut presets are just quite limited. There are many activities existing in the Developing Countries that are absent in these presets, and other tags (eg office=*) scarcely present. Concerning the roads: - for smoothness, you define it as other or under 40 km/h. It's not in accordance with wiki which is talking about the kind of vehicle that may use the road. - but you also added practicability:*=. There was already attempts to define smoothness or whatever for different type of vehicle. Maybe, we have to try again. OSM wiki has his logic here we are dealing with hunanitarian field and this speed limit is a feature used among logistics hum org (especially WFP) for years so it makes sense to include it. We can add a paragraph explaining this in the OSM wiki. In Madagascar, for path (or damaged road), they also use wheelbarrows to carry goods. I don't know how to indicate it. practicability:wheelbarrow=? Why not to add it on a pure OSM perspective. i might be wrong but I think humanitarian responders using wheelbarrow for deliveries are not very numerous. - one can also conditional restrictions: smoothness=horrible smoothness:conditional=very_horrible @ Dec-Apr Tipically the things we tried to avoid as this interpretation can highly vary between people.surveying. i.e. 4wd from May to November and charrette ? z?bu from December to April. - I'm also using seasonal=yes(/no) in conjunction with access:conditional=no @ Dec-Apr for instance to indicate that the road is seasonal and that it is usually closed from December to April. I would appreciate to see at least the seasonal aspect on rendering (color is already used for surface, shape for smoothness...). I let this to Yohan but as he said the more we have info on a object the more it creates noise For river crossing, I'm using two cases. - if the road is usually flooded: ford=yes - if the road is usually dry: flood_prone=yes Indicating the surface is also important. After a cyclone, it should be easier to cross a river if the corresponding part of the road is made of concrete instead of ground. It is interesting to see river crossing in render even more important than bridges. By a quick look at the map, you may answer questions like: how many rivers to cross? Good point, and not complicated to render. Where is dispensary? Also, in the Proposed features/Healthcare 2.0, it is not easy to see the limit between health_facility:type dispensary and health_centre. This project seems to have been made by Fabi2, did not know it yet. Might be interesting to try to merge.

Cela se fera principalement par la mise en oeuvre de programmes de cartographie et de formation destinés à des représentants de structures gouvernementales, acteurs académiques, secteur privé et notamment secteur des TIC, ONG, groupes de la société civile. Intitulé, Espace OSM Francophone, ce projet pilote vise à terme à proposer un modèle de déploiement d'un dispositif de cartographie OSM réplicable dans d'autres pays du Sud membres de l’OIF ou d'autres zones géoographiques. Ce modèle est producteur d'espace en deux sens : développement de cartographie concrète de territoires à travers la mobilisation de ressources (cartographie, ingénierie logicielle, documentation et formation) et renforcement de la mise en réseau des acteurs de l'écosystème OSM autour de cette initiative de cartographie physique de l'espace francophone.

This aim is to consolidate in 2013 the OSM Senegalese community, strengthen the OSM Chadian community as well as creating and animating OSM communities in Togo and Burkina Faso. Named Space OSM Francophone (“Espace OSM Francophone”), this pilot project aims at forging a model for deploying OSM mapping project that could be replicated in other Developing Countries or Least Developing Countries from OIF or other geographic areas. This model is two fold: first, it creates geographic data by mobilizing mapping resources (data, tools, documentation, training), and second, it strengthens the network of actors from the OSM ecosystem around this mapping of the Francophone space.

Through this project, together with a team of local Haitian mappers, HOT will be creating a group of 60 mappers recruited amongst the youths of Cap Haitian and together with them will improve upon the baseline data of localities in the Cap Haitian Development Corridor (CHDC). The whole team will be partnering with the University of Limonade which will be providing office space and capacities throughout and after the project. HOT will work with a team of local mappers in designing and running training and data collection plans as well as producing specific training and guidance documentation around OSM-based surveying and mapping techniques, data model, data collection, JOSM presets and libraries of symbols for use within web map services and JOSM, as well as coordinating the development of tools (improvements to the HOT export tool and web visualization services). I’d like to thank here the many talented individuals who expressed their interest for working with HOT on this project in Haiti and encourage them to continue being active within the Team and keeping up to date with other projects we may have in the future. Good day to all,* *Nicolas * -- -- Nicolas Chavent Acting Project Director Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team http://hot.openstreetmap.org/ Mobile (FRA): +33 (0)6 52 40 78 20 Email: nicolas.chav...@hotosm.org Skype: c_nicolas Twitter: nicolas_chavent ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
Re: [HOT] HOT Activation WG meeting - January 2012
Hey all- Thanks Schuyler for the reminder, and excited at the idea of resuming work on this crucial piece Id like to share one document - crisis activation workflow [1} - which relates to the Activation steps section of the HOT Activation page [2] I started this in Nov 2011 and passed it to the Activation WG, We have been using in Haiti during the hurricane season 2012 when preparing for such a response (remote and on the ground) at any hurricane forecast/risk The doc itself derives from classic activation workflow we had been using at United Nations inter-agency level with ad hoc crisis reponse groups from the time I had been working there. I temporarily link this crisis activation workflow to the HOT Activation page, we will see which use we make of it It's likely that other protocols might be of interest for us there specifically: - the one that the MapAction-lead OCHA Community Of Interest around Data Scramble will adopt - the one from the SBTF. Tomorrow then!

Re: [HOT] Board Elections: another Personal Opinion
From a mobile phone on my way back to base. Do not get me wrong on this one: i am holding the current situation as not satisfactory with rrespect to where I would like the organozation to be in 1 or 2 years time when sufficient field exprtise the hot way on the ground and the ways hum workers are workimng on the ground will be emboddied in many hotties. This is what you, me, all are striving for ; this has been my inner priority through the developement of our operations on the ground, the opportunities to do field work for hotties, my constant behind the scene support to the remote activations, my work with interns trainees, my work within the academics in france and senegal/ chad and attention and support to all overseas mappers willing and interested. Through training/ mentroing and work more hotties will get there. Through extension of memberships as per the rules and definitoions that we will all contrinute to set up in the first 4 months of 2013, we will have other people joining with this background. I'll be then comfrtable stepping away, letting others leading as boardees and be available for this Organization that Mikel and I ideated in 2007. As one can read from my profile I supported the hot ideas while working in the UN when this was not mainstream at all, quite the opposite. I fought for this and acted in a way which made me decide to give up a carreer in the UN for helping creating what I believed was vital and uncovereed by the UN system at that time, HOT that is. I therefore have in minds and at heart the future of this Organization that we co-founded. I think we only disagree on the timing for this shift: the time is not right there for the reasons I laid out. Field not approprpiately represented, predominance of anglo saxon cultures and in your board over representation ot IT people (which I admire and treasure but who are a big part but still a part of what i believe the neeeded talents for hot are). Side note, I would entirely disagree to have non hot members boardees and feel hyper strongly that the path to a boardee shall be paved with being active with hot as a volunteer first, then as a member and then as a boardee. Non hotties can support as volunteers and then as advisors of this board we will create The above are perhaps to be pasted in another email thread for our actions/reflexions in the next months.

Severin, while I agree with much of what you had to say, the situations with Heather and with the 20 or so EUROSHA volunteers are not at all comparable. Prior to their nomination, the EUROSHA volunteers were completely unknown to me, and probably to most of the people on this mailing list. In fact, I think none of them have ever posted a message to this list, or otherwise introduced themselves or their work to our community. While I'm sure we all appreciate their contributions, I don't see what could possibly entitle them to a voice in determining the organization's policy. By contrast, Heather Leson is a long-time friend and collaborator of HOT. She has been involved in crisis mapping for years, and has a proven record of dealing wisely with the sensitive issues of mapping vulnerable parts of the world. More to the point, in volunteering for a role of responsibility on the Team, she took pains to introduce herself and her intentions for doing so. She is no stranger to our community, and I am proud to endorse her for a seat on the Board of Directors.

Re: [HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma
Hi kate and all, Sorry for the delays in response, last days were pretty full! DRC: the crisis escalates and it seems that it forms the basis for our action. DRC osm data through the hot export: I refer to the JOSM internal preset (version as of 14 nov in the josm wiki), it provides main key/values from the main OSM map features. And can serve as a good basis for a generic OSM extracts. I emailed a couple of contacts within th UN hum system so that we can get areas of interest, overview of data and key on the ground needs. I'll continue this from Dakar where is based the regional OCHA bureau which has oversight over DRC.

[HOT] Pre activation in Eastern DRC - Goma
Hi all, So fighting resume in the Eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where the rebel forces of the M23 took the major town of Goma (BBC News Goma http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-20405739). I have no bandwidth right now to look more closely at this sudden onset political crisis with still strong political and humanitarian consequences and scan through reports to provide a better situation update, relief web is temporarily down for DRC... The Bing Imagery over Goma looks good and shall allow to complete the current OSM map. Reports from media, and responders shall be accessible and provide us with other Areas Of Interest (AOIs). Baseline mapping (building, roads and landuses) can be of help for those responding or about to respond to this crisis. There is already a DRC page for CongoKinshasa (DRC) in the OSM wiki where a crisis page can be set up I created a job for DRC on the HOT Export tool based on the general JOSM preset : http://hot-export.geofabrik.de/jobs/1102 This can be hooked to this page.

Re: [HOT] [OSM-talk-fr] Tuteurs pour volontaires européens/Tutorships for the Eurosha volunteers
Hi all Thanks for the messages. Chad has been the first of the four countries of the EUROSHA project to benefit from some remote and intermittent but extremely useful tutoring support mostly from Christian and Augustin. It has proven to be extremely useful and rewarding on both sides. The impact of such a continued and ¨scaled up¨ approach in the form of this now freshly launched tutorship program will be for sure high and clearly instrumental to make those 4 deploys of 6 months each lively, human rich and productives moments. Great if the word of mouth can continue and excited at the idea of strengthenining this nascent dynamic and allowing it to ultimately reach beyond the EUROSHA volunteers the local mappers that are stepping up in those countries thrilled and excited at the idea of OSM. From our last weeks in Chad with Aude, Claudia, Nas, Katerina Orsi and Pascale it has been made obvious that the more HOT and OSM communities can prepare through remote mapping the on-the-ground surveying efforts of the teams deployed, the greater their impact will be. WIth perspectives of cooperation and workplans being firmed up in Chad, CAR, Kenya and Burundi, jobs will be created and calls for support will be propagated through the various channels, great if you can stay tuned and thanks for those who will be able to be part of these interesting moments.
