[HOT] Share Your Voice! Short Survey on Motivation in Online Civic Action Initiatives

Hey HOT members! Ever wondered…. Why do people engage in online civic action initiatives? What motivates them to stay engaged? Or how does engagement in online networks differ between crisis or humanitarian response? We are currently conducting a study with the Digital Public Square

Re: [HOT] New mapping projects that could use some experienced mappers

Hi all, a bit of advice, if you have time In the task Blake posted, some of the buildings are too difficult distinguish individually. However, I can see that there is a whole block of buildins. Is it ok to trace and tag the whole block as building=yes? For example, in the south-westerly

Re: [HOT] "connecting" buildings

Blake, Thanks for your quick response! Of course we will do the mapping in the manner specified by those requesting the data. However I do find that validating data where the buildings share nodes is a little more difficult. For example, if one of the two buildings is not squared (in the data),

Re: [HOT] "connecting" buildings

Hi Mike, It is really generally true, but in dense urban areas often the buildings do share a wall. Hopefully we can get some feedback from the folks in Dar as to what is typical in that environment. One of the things that make dense urban mapping a challenge. Cheers, Blake On 3/8/2016

Re: [HOT] "connecting" buildings

I think I found my answer, it was in the instructions for a different project (http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1537): "Many buildings are very close, but do not actually touch each other, try to map them close to each other without letting them connect or share nodes with each other, roads or

[HOT] "connecting" buildings

I am refining my training for tomorrow's humanitarian mapathon at the University of Wyoming where we will be mapping in Dar es Salaam (#1446). I recall reading somewhere that we shouldn't "connect" buildings (i.e. two buildings sharing one or more nodes) unless we are certain that they are

Sounds intriguing, would you care to give a couple of examples where the tag values shown in JOSM are not the ones in the OSM database? Thanks John On 8 March 2016 at 08:47, Paul Norman wrote: > On 2016-03-07 4:53 AM, Mikel Maron wrote: > > People, get a grip. > > There are a

[HOT] New mapping projects that could use some experienced mappers

Hi all, I just posted a new project to map a small, but very dense urban area (we have a few more in the same region coming up). This kind of mapping is a real challenge in the city center areas and it is slightly complicated due to the very tall nature of most of the buildings. It gets

[HOT] International Women's Day 2016 - One way to show your support for diversity in the OSM community - osm wiki userboxes

Hi all, As part of International Women's Day 2016, I took a pledge to support women, girls and gender diversity in the HOT and OSM communities. One small way to share my commitment is that I created and OSM wiki "Userbox" to show my support for women in the OSM community. If you are an osm

Re: [HOT] Protecting girls at risk of FGM in Tanzania by mapping their villages - International Womens' Day event

Hey Pete, It might be better to have the data as a CSV instead so when you add the data to josm it doesn't get confused and merges into your existing osm layer. Ideally we should set up the data that it only downloads the subset of the tasking manager tile, this can be added in the individual

Hi Denis, this is amazing. I have been looking for a tasking manager for field data! I have a question though, for you, or anyone on the list... I open my schools file in JOSM and also open my tile of OSM data, but at some point the two seem to merge. Then, when I come to upload my changes, I am
