[talk-ph] Fwd: [OSM-talk] HOT Update

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Hello all,

I'm forwarding some big news from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)
that may hugely affect the OSM community in the Philippines over the next
few years.

Yesterday, HOT announced that they are one of the eight recipients of a
multi-year funding from TED's The Audacious Project. Please see the
following links for more information:

- The Audacious Project website: https://audaciousproject.org/
- Wikipedia article about the The Audacious Project:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Audacious_Project
- The Audacious Project's page for HOT:
https://audaciousproject.org/ideas/2020/humanitarian-openstreetmap-team
- HOT's announcement: https://www.hotosm.org/updates/audacious-announcement/
- HOT's FAQ page for the project: https://www.hotosm.org/audacious-faq

One of the things HOT will be doing is setting up four regional hubs
worldwide and Manila was selected as the HQ/hub for the Asia Pacific
region. They will also hire around 13 or so people to support the Asia
Pacific hub.

[OSM-talk] HOT Update

[Christoph Hormann]

It is probably advisable to clarify that in OSM we do not map people.  
People themselves are not considered part of the world geography.  OSM is 
about people mapping their own environment and sharing their local 
knowledge of the local geography - which includes human made structures 
of all kind but not the people creating them and living around them.


You probably did not intend to imply otherwise but quite a few readers of 
your text not familiar with OSM, cartography and humanitarian mapping 
jargon might get a wrong impression about OSM from your phrasing.
