Re: [HOT] Mailing List Code of Conduct
Hola, Sorry, to be clear: "Others have forged beyond that and done so anyway, imposed their own CoC, or think they have done so, and just never been challenged on it. " I mean other OSM list moderators, on other lists, like the diversity list, have their own CoC, or think they do, just because no one has raised an issue about it to challenge it. I am on the diversity list, I agree with the CoC there, but I do not for a moment think the OSMF would support enforcing it if someone objected. However, the OSMF Email guidelines... those seem to be the only "official" OSMF "CoC" Best wishes, blake On Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 7:09 AM Blake Girardot wrote: > Hi again Friends, > > I see, if the question is can we HOT have our own CoC for this list? > > Years ago the consensus was not really as this email list is maintained > and hosted by the OSMF on their resources. > > Others have forged beyond that and done so anyway, imposed their own CoC, > or think they have done so, and just never been challenged on it. > > We did not do that here.

Re: [HOT] Mailing List Code of Conduct
Hi again Friends, I see, if the question is can we HOT have our own CoC for this list? Years ago the consensus was not really as this email list is maintained and hosted by the OSMF on their resources. Others have forged beyond that and done so anyway, imposed their own CoC, or think they have done so, and just never been challenged on it. We did not do that here. Here we stuck to OSMF Email guidelines that were for some other issues, but existed at least. Our need for more CoC has not really come up since that time, but I am all for it. The other solution was HOT starts its own list and this list get renamed and continues on as 'humanitarian_mapp...@osm.org' and this list goes off, with its own CoC, as a list @hotosm.org Best wishes, blake On Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 7:01 AM Blake Girardot wrote: > Hi Friends, > > I have been the main moderator on the HOT list for the past 5 or 6 years. > > I collaborate with Mikel, but have not really needed to for the past 3 > years or so. > > Is there an issue I am not aware of? > > Best wishes, > Blake > > On Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 6:26 AM Can Unen wrote: > >> Thanks a lot for explaining the background of this discussion Clifford >> and Mikel. >> >> There are five talk lists from the US and four topic-specific lists that >> have adopted a CoC according to the mailing lists wiki [1].

Hi Friends, I have been the main moderator on the HOT list for the past 5 or 6 years. I collaborate with Mikel, but have not really needed to for the past 3 years or so.

This was going to be my suggestion as well GPSLogger for Android, it can auto start and auto roll over track recording files every day. If they could just better automate the upload of tracks so it would store and forward when wifi reached, it would be perfect.

[HOT] Two projects that need your financial support
Dear friends, I hope this email finds everyone doing well. It is the end of the year fund raiser for HOT Microgrants, this is a critical program and another opportunity to directly support the work of local folks on the ground around the world using OSM and open source tools, but in a way that directly improves local capacity as well. Please find the time to make a contribution if you are able, any amount helps. https://donate.hotosm.org HOT Microgrants are a great program and I am happy to have helped bring Kate Chapman's and other's vision for them to life. But they can take a relatively long time to award and there is a project that is also trying to raise a microgrant type amount (USD $1250.00), but before the end of the year. Because of the process for HOT Microgants, they will not be able to help this person in time this year I do not think. Please dig just one bit more if you can, one time, and share a few Pounds with this independent OSM project to preserve Topo Maps of Africa, Namibia specifically: https://www.gofundme.com/namibian-topographic-maps It would also be a great way to thank Grant Slater (firefishy) for all the work he does and has done for years for OpenStreetMap as part of their operations team. OSM is lucky to have people like Grant involved. I hope everyone has a nice rest of the year where ever they may be.

But for sure it makes research and stats easier because it is easy to scale up or down the grid size and the OLC numbers get shorter when you scale up. And because so many structures are in more than one 10 code size grid square, even tiny changes to the location of the building (like mapping and updating with better aligned imagery) will change its "address" as the building centroid shifts when the building is moved of course. So it is important that the location codes are near each other because I see the smallest squares, the 10 digit address size, changing to any one of about 4 "olc addresses" for at least 1/2 of the buildings, if the building is moved at all, so you will end up with "outdated" 10 digit addresses, but luckily you will still be within 13m of the new one. Two of the best reasons why this is the best open source option available.

Re: [HOT] Open Location Code
Hi all, For anyone that would like to visualize that the Open Location Code grid looks like, I took some screen shots of it overlayed with some imagery. The smallest squares in the examples each have a 10 character OLC number/letter code. You will notice like every grid, the real world is not on a grid and many structures are in more than one grid. (Every grid system has this problem). The next up larger size of square is the square for an 8 character OLC number/letter code. It obviously groups a lot more buildings together, almost the small village scale, but again, they will usually be part in two, just like a structure. Anyway, thought folks who like to see things visualized in some way to help understand them might benefit from looking at what exactly we are talking about. I would like to see a way to have a better, more informative grid in all our tools, so like a TMS layer or support in OpenLayers or leaflet or something. The grid is based on WGS84 degrees already so anything that helps draw a graticule can just be adapted to have different major lines and list the shortened OLC instead of the degrees. https://twitter.com/BlakeGirardot/status/1028689726088388609 Cheers blake Cheers blake On Sat, Aug 11, 2018 at 2:55 PM, john whelan wrote: > Open Location Code or Plus code is just a method of representing latitude > and longitude in a more human friendly way. > > It was originally created by Google but has been released under an open > licence. > > It is possible to set osmand to show coordinates as OLC.

Re: [HOT] Open Location Code
Hi John, I appreciate your thoughtful and informative remarks as always here and on the osm-talk thread, especially about the Open Location Code discussion. I clearly generally agree they are not a perfect solution and I am not even sure we know all the possible use cases, but they are a very good option at the moment, open source, light weight, easy to implement in tools. But I must take exception to your paragraph here: > Translation is this allows us to give every dwelling in Africa etc its own > address. It is not in itself a complete addressing solution since it > doesn't handle things like 2nd floor but it does at least take you to the > building. Trying out OLC in some local circumstances, driven from on the ground up in that location is fine. If they see a possible usefulness to them, by all means I will do everything I can to support them as they figure out if it is something of value to the local community. But the idea of giving every dwelling in Africa an address is not a good way to frame it. We are not giving anyone anything. If people wish to use these locally first, or operating locally I will help them to the best of my ability. But in no way do I feel we are or should be giving "every dwelling in Africa etc its own address" and I would like to make that clear from the start. This is a potential useful system that seems well suited to solve some use cases in some locations but must be really wanted by the local community and driven from the ground up, hopefully in conjunction with other local actors in the area.

[HOT] Laos mapping and Zambia MapSwipe'ing Need You!
Greetings Friends! We have several disaster response mapping activations on going at the moment. DigitalGlobe released imagery for part of Laos that is affected by the dam failure there and we have a mapping project up to get that mapped. There has never been high quality, high resolution imagery of this part of Laos before available to the public so please join us in getting everyone on the map for this area. If you would like to help by re-tweeting our notice of the project, that helps too: https://twitter.com/hotosm/status/1024517035093622784 You will also find Sri Lanka and Japan flooding projects that need mapping as well. === And if you would like to help us MapSwipe part of Zambia to aid in rural electrification, we need help getting that MapSwipe project completed. Here is all the info you need from our tweets about that project and re-tweets help here too! What is the easiest way to help HOT #map? MapSwipe phone app! Use your phone to help electrify rural Zambia with #renewables You can get the app here: http://www.mapswipe.org/index.html #Zambia Rural Electrification Tutorial: https://www.geospatial.win/tg/ms-zm/msguide.htm https://twitter.com/hotosm/status/1024380904846843904 Respectfully, blake -- Blake Girardot Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
[HOT] Currently issues with OSM servers
Dear Friends, OpenStreetMap is undergoing some maintenance (main servers being moved to new location) and is running on reduced hardware for the next week or two. As a result, uploads to the server have been affected and several folks across OSM are reporting problems. Please make sure to save your work as you map, as it is possible the temporary servers might not be able to accept your uploads at any time. When that happens, just waiting 5 mins or so might be enough to make sure your work is saved. We know how frustrating errors when saving can be and OSM does everything it can to make sure that never happens, but some times it will happen and at the moment is a bit more likely.

Re: [HOT] Feature detection from drone imagery
Hi Maning, That is great! Thank you very much! I would love to work on it more along with you. I think separate from generating building footprints, this could be used to do a lot of what we use MapSwipe for at the moment. In those use cases, the exact accuracy of the building outlines is less important, but are still incredibly needed data. Where do you have this running? I have avoided trying it out because the AWS instances are not free :) Cheers Blake On Sun, Jul 22, 2018 at 7:44 PM, maning sambale wrote: > Hi, > > I published a diary on my experiment with using Robosat for detecting > buildings from OpenAerialImagery drone images > https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/maning/diary/44462 > > Right now, the model was trained on drone footages taken by Dan Joseph > of the American Red Cross in Visayas, Philippines using DJI Mavic Pro. > Curious if there are field applications that can leverage on this > tool.

[HOT] Updates to the HOT Tasking Manager
Hi Everyone, We recently updated the HOT Tasking Manager, some of the major new changes include: 1. The ability to opt-out of automated Validation messages :) Long requested, you can now visit your User Profile page, click the "Edit/Add Contact Details" button and you will have the option to "Receive automated validation messages" if you uncheck this, you will not receive any of the automated emails or messages to your Tasking Manager inbox when someone validates one of your tasks. You will still receive any message where someone specifically mentions your username with @yourusername. 2. A link to Pascal Neis' OSM Heatmap to see where you have mapped This is also on your user profile page. 3. iD Editor "Do not edit outside of this box" messages along the outsides of your purple Task outline have been removed. This was causing serious issues with the edge tasks on projects, as well as custom task shapes. You now only have one message in the middle of the purple task outline in the iD editor. 4. Several changes to the deployment scripts that users will never see, but are critically important to our workflow for pushing out updates. Now that these are working better, it will be easier for us to push updates more often. We have more fixes and improvements queued up and are ready to start making more frequent updates. If you have submitted a PR that has not been merged yet, please stick with us, we will get it merged in very soon or provide feedback if changes are needed. As always everyone is encouraged to visit GitHub and review the outstanding issues and comment on them or create a new one for an issue or improvement you would like to see, and if you want to contribute code, we are doing our best to make that quick and easy. https://github.com/hotosm/tasking-manager/issues Our sincere thanks goes out to everyone who contributed over the past few months, especially all of the Outreachy folks who really helped us as part of their application process.

Re: [HOT] Buildings in DR Congo
Hi Henning, Russ and myself are looking a bit more into this as well. My initial review of a few of the areas shows that it is quite typical mapping, mostly buildings being added so I expect mostly the same sort of issues that are typical with building mapping. But it was also done by a group of pretty experienced mappers so probably less issues than usual. Since they are fully mapped at this point, it might make sense to re-activate them for validation and restrict the validation to experienced validators. We could share the areas of the projects outside of the tasking manager, but that might lead to more issues with multiple people reviewing and fixing on their own. Thank you very much for helping Henning! cheers blake On Sun, Jun 10, 2018 at 5:02 PM, Henning Bolz wrote: > Hello Pierre, Hello Russell, > > i understand there are about 25 Objects edited in the ebola AOI without > any validation??! > They will contain a certain amount of errors.

Re: [HOT] Ebola: Excellent progress mapping, validators needed. UPDATE
Dear Friends, The Ebola projects are still going along really well, Claire is making them small and strategic so they go fast and are very easy to change priority based on her daily discussions with Ministry of Health officials. Mappers and validators are doing an amazing job. Validation still needs more experienced validators, so if you have not had a chance to do any validation yet, now is a great time. Much of the mapping so far has been residential area outlines and roads, critical data for trying to contain this outbreak. Claire and the folks at OSM RDC are now also using that dataset for targeted building mapping based on daily developments. The building footprints are the next critical dataset for all the efforts you have read about, contact tracing, ring vaccinations, etc. Claire and the OSM RDC team are doing really impressive project management over a large area, balancing fast, accurate, aggregate data like roads, waterways, residential areas, and then using that to follow up building level mapping the areas that need the detail. You can see overall strategy here: http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/fr/map/osm-mapping-response-ebola-outbreak-2018_219291 If you have been a part of the mapping so far, thank you very much for working remotely along side Claire, the OSM RDC community, the RDC Ministry of Health and rest of the world wide OSM community to stop this disaster from spreading further. If you have not had a chance to be a part of the effort yet, we need you. The more folks who can spend a little time mapping, the greater chance we have to contribute to stopping this outbreak before it gets worse. 5 minutes is all it takes to be a part of any humanitarian mapping project. https://tasks.hotosm.org There is currently a huge effort on the ground to contain this outbreak. We are in a position where responding organizations need to do everything they possibly can to stop this, but we will not know how well that is working for another week or two. Please keep these Ebola projects in mind if you have some spare time this week.

[HOT] Ebola: Excellent progress mapping, validators needed.
Dear Friends, As you may know, there is an early stage, ongoing outbreak of Ebola in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Claire Halleux is leading HOT and OSM mapping from on the ground in collaboration with the national Ministry of Health and others. The projects are getting mapped quite quickly and by a variety of folks of all skill levels, which is great! As always validation is taking a bit more time, but still going well. However, this is quite time critical data, so the sooner we can get it validated the more help that data can be. If you have done validation in the past, especially experienced validators, if you could please find some time to check the ebola projects for the next days and help them get to 100% / 100% in whatever way you can, validating or mapping it would really help things in the region. https://tasks.hotosm.org/contribute?difficulty=ALL=Ebola2018 Many of these projects are tightly targeted, so go quickly, if you check the list and there are none to validate, please check back, there will be more projects for this outbreak.

[HOT] HOT Support for Floods in Somalia - your help needed
Dear Friends, United Nations agencies in Somalia have stepped up their response in the wake of devastating flash floods across large parts of Somlia that have impacted nearly 500,000 people and displaced close to 175,000 from their homes. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, the current floods are some of the worst the region has ever seen, and the current water level exceeds a 50-year return period in most locations. UNITAR one of the UN agencies for responsible for helping quantify the specific needs in the impacted areas have ask HOT to map building footprints in one of the most impacted major cities, Belet Weyne, the capital of the hard hit HirShabelle province. We have two projects that need your help on the Tasking Manager: http://tasks.hotosm.org One is for new mappers and there is a city core project that is for the intermediate and advanced mapped. If you can find some time this weekend we are trying to get them done by the start of week. The task squares are small, so they go fast, so even if you have limited time, you can probably get a task or two done. Here is a tweet that you might have missed, but even if you did see it, it could use some more retweeting. https://twitter.com/hotosm/status/992433533598695424 Respectfully, blake -- Blake Girardot OSM Wiki - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot HOTOSM Member - https://hotosm.org/users/blake_girardot skype: jblakegirardot ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
[HOT] Diverse voices tweeting about HOT - What you might have missed
Dear Friends, I am not a twitter person, but I did happen to look over HOT's twitter traffic this weekend and was just overwhelmed with the messages of successes from people. I am really glad I saw them and feel like I would have missed out if I did not by chance happen on these. So, hopefully you feel the same way and here is my HOT's twitter traffic "Can't miss" tweets from the last few days. I am sure I missed some, as I said, I am not very good at twitter. If you are not a twitter user, you can still click on the links and see the tweet and the pictures (lots of pictures), and follow links to other places on the web they shared. If you are a twitter user, I am sure you will be inspired to retweet and follow these community builders. On to the tweets!! === Humanitarian mapping is helping fishermen to know better their territories and to be aware on the importance of coastal wetlands. #Mangroves and #people for resilience #Southerncaribbean #Turbo thnks to @hotosm #Microgrant #crowdsourcing https://twitter.com/Manglares360/status/985254982994849797 Manglares 360º @Manglares360 High school 8th-10th graders learn principles of mapping + resiliency using @hotosm #Microgrant 2017 maps.

Re: [HOT] Strange object
Hi Henning, I am not clear on what the object is you are looking at? Do you mean the water pools and pits along the south bank of that river? If you mean those, if I had to guess, it looks like artisan mining to me. One active area and a few small older pits. But that is just my guess, I will be interested to find out what the local knowledge is about it. But that would be my first guess. Next would be agriculture of some sort, maybe.

Re: [HOT] [Diversity-talk] Diverse conferences need you!
Hi Rory, Thank you very much for all your help with the CoC. I was hoping we could put together another resource that is practical advice for LGBTQ travellers. You offered some good advice that I would never think of, empty your phones of potentially problematic apps or content. I read on the State Department one tip that said be wary of entrampment type schemes with people trying to trick someone into revealing info that would get them in trouble with the law. I looked on a few gay travel websites, but most of their practical advice consisted of saying know the local laws and check with the US or other national foreign affairs office for their advice. Could we somehow collaborate on a blog post that would offer some more practical advice, all the helpful details and advice that can't really go in the CoC but still would be helpful to folks. Just a thought, if you think you would have time to contribute I can make a shared google doc to just start the advice list or something. But i do not have much to add besides stuff I can find spread around the Internets, you seemed to have a lot of good advice I think would be good to share. regards, blake On Sat, Apr 14, 2018 at 12:40 PM, Rory McCann <r...@technomancy.org> wrote: > Hi, > > An additional way to help out is on the FOSS4G github, where there are 2 > issues for the CoC & travel advice, where you can leave comments, and > see the draft documents.

[HOT] Off-Topic - Developers: MQTT message brokers and geospatial applications - Anyone interested?
Hi all, Apologies for the email, I know this will not apply to most of us, but for the few folks who might be interested, it would be really cool to connect. If anyone is interested in MQTT/mosquitto (https://mosquitto.org/)message brokering and gis or location tracking using open source "owntracks" software (http://owntracks.org/booklet/), basically the opensource packages for apps like the Life360 app (https://www.life360.com/) uses for family location tracking and geofenced alerts please let me know. Any use of an MQTT broker software, mosquitto should work for anything really. Just let me know. I set up a mosquitto broker up publically, the owntracks client and server app and would be happy to give ssh to others to experiment and deploy on. And I also set up a Node-RED server (https://nodered.org/) as well for wiring up things, it works with the MQTT broker of course, e.g., send a tweet when a water alarm in your basement activates. it is IoT wiring software, but you can just service wiring too, email to twitter, or tweet when I arrive at the office, etc. Node-RED is like IFTT on steroids and opensource. As I said, you can use the existing set ups for any MQTT compatable services. I am just learning and hope some others might be on that same path and not want to have to deal with setting up the software. Hopefully we can learn from each other. Just send me an email directly. And there is a webinar in a few hours about MQTT/Mosquitto at hackaday.io today (great introduction material already there too) https://hackaday.io/event/112092-mqtt-community-chat (edited) Cheers, blake -- -------- Blake Girardot OSM Wiki - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot HOTOSM Member - https://hotosm.org/users/blake_girardot skype: jblakegirardot ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

Re: [HOT] [hotosm-membership] Re: 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 Friends, Respectfully, what Dale's opinion on the state of the wider OSM community is off topic for the HOT email list which is as follows: "During crisis, the HOT list supports coordination among the OSM community (along side appropriate local country lists, and the talk/dev lists when needed). It is the point where disaster responders and affected people can connect directly to members of the OSM community ready to help. In quieter times, the list helps HOT to prepare resources and improve its response." The hot@openstreetmap.org email list follows the OSM guidelines for email list etiquette ( https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Etiquette) and demanding that an individual justify and discuss their feelings about the wider OSM community as it relates to diversity issues across 3 large OSM community email lists really seems to be outside of those guidelines in respect assuming good faith, staying on list topic and not calling people out directly. There are good, constructive, ways to discuss the important issues Dale raises but demanding Dale justify his feelings publicly on this email lists is just not one of them. Let us stay on the HOT mapping and response topic here please.

Re: [HOT] sporadic validation report
Hi Bryan, I just want to echo what Russ said, and let you know how much I and everyone at HOT appreciates how much you have done for the OpenStreetMap community. The iD editor and your work specifically, has made the OpenStreetMap project and open geospatial data creation accessible to 10's of thousands of people around the world. It is a tool that people can use to improve their lives and their communities and it helped OSM become the critically important project that it is today. I also know how much you have personally done for HOT above and beyond your regular iD editor wizardry. I sincerely apologize we as an organization did not do a better job make sure you knew how much we appreciated you and your contribution to OSM.

[HOT] Fwd: [OSM-talk] OSM maps that are accessible for the visually
Dear Friends, I thought some of us here might find this discussion from the OSM general discussion list interesting. It is about making map data available for the visually impaired and someone from an organization that specializes resources for the blind posted about how OpenStreetMap is being used for indoor navigation. The linked to article mentions how important #OpenData is to the effort and OpenStreetMap in particular. I personally never thought about indoor mapping before, but this use case for it makes a lot of sense. There is a wiki page dedicated to how to use the OSM "Simple Indoor Tagging" system: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_Indoor_Tagging Might be something fun for a local meet up to do, I think I will see if our local group is interested in doing some of the significant buildings around my community. Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool use case.

Re: [HOT] Tasking manager - clone project with boundary.
Hi Bjoern, It looks like Ethan did get exactly what you want created on the back end, but I do not see a link to it on the front end yet. But, I just tested this and it works as you want, it will download the AoI as a geojson and then you can use that file unaltered to import and create a new project for exactly that AoI. You will have to edit the url for the project you want the AoI from: https://tasks.hotosm.org/api/v1/project/3708/aoi?as_file=true Cheers blake On Wed, Dec 6, 2017 at 7:38 PM, Bjoern Hassler <bjohas...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Blake, > > many thanks, that all makes sense! > > Bjoern > > On 6 December 2017 at 16:58, Blake Girardot HOT/OSM > <blake.girar...@hotosm.org> wrote: >> >> Hi Bjoern, >> >> I put some answers inline below. >> >> On Tue, Dec 5, 2017 at 10:01 PM, Bjoern Hassler <bjohas...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> > Dear friends, >> > >> > In the new tasking manager: >> > >> > - Is it possible to clone a project with boundary? >> >> No, at the moment it clones everything but the original project AoI. >> That is one of the reasons it is good to workout the project aoi ahead >> of time in something like JOSM first.

No, at the moment it clones everything but the original project AoI. That is one of the reasons it is good to workout the project aoi ahead of time in something like JOSM first. That makes it easy to clone, or recreate, etc. > - Is it possible to export the boundary from one project easily, so it can > be imported into another? I am not sure the answer to this. It is possible I believe via the TM3's API, but it is not what I would call easy. I know Ethan was working on making some easy URLs to get the original AoI out, as well as the created Tasks out. > - Is it possible to change the boundary for a draft project (i.e. before > there's any edits)? No, this is not possible, once the project is created, it is fixed. You can now actually delete a project, (edit -> actions -> delete) so feel free to clone, import a new aoi, then delete the original would be the fast path to fixing the aoi. You can also use imagery to create the aoi and do the pre-splitting, when creating a project, lower right corner is a layers icon. But really best to create the aoi in josm then import into TM3. > > One way to have two projects with the same boundary would be to upload the > same boundary file to both... but I've already got one hand drawn boundary > (in a project with edits) and now want to set up another projects with > matching tiles... I think in HOT's slack someone can help you if you really want to get that exact aoi again, the TM3 does output it, but as i said, it is via an API so not meant for people to use, but for a machine to parse and make use of, but it is geojson so we can hand parse it to get just the aoi part of the geojson Hope that helps some, cheers blake > Thanks, > Bjoern > > ___ > HOT mailing list > HOT@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot > -- Blake Girardot Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email_source=link_campaign=sig-email_content=webmail_term=icon; target="_blank">https://ipmcdn.avast.com/images/icons/icon-envelope-tick-round-orange-animated-no-repeat-v1.gif; alt="" width="46" height="29" style="width: 46px; height: 29px;" /> Virus-free. https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email_source=link_campaign=sig-email_content=webmail_term=link; target="_blank" style="color: #4453ea;">www.avast.com ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

[HOT] Intermediate and Advanced mappers - Your experience is urgently needed for Iran-Iraq Earthquake
Dear Friends, Mappers of every experience level make a real difference in the lives of people around the world everyday through mapping. After several months of mapping and a few hundred changesets in OSM you have gained enough feedback and experience to be in the intermediate and maybe even the advanced mapper groups. For many different reasons not a lot of people ever do enough mapping to reach those higher levels of experience and expertise. Because there are a lot fewer folks with your level of experience, projects requiring that level of experience can be very difficult to get completed and validated. The mapping in Iran and Iraq in response to the earthquake there a few days ago is just that kind of mapping that needs experienced people. We are still in the that initial phase, the first 7 days, when we are in response and rescue mode, your experience is needed. Please visit the Tasking Manager, https://tasks.hotosm.org/ and support the folks on the ground dealing with this crisis. You also will find your level of experience is very needed in South Asia, Mexico and Puerto Rico as they continue to recover from the crises that devastated those areas. Intermediate and Advanced mappers, please use the pull down menu in the Tasking Manager to find projects that need your experience. Obviously sometimes you will need to apply your skills to projects that are great for beginners too, but please check on a regular basis for projects that are restricted to your experience level. Newer mappers: Please keep mapping and let us know how we can support you in your path to becoming an experienced mapper. One of the great things about mapping is that with every easy building you trace in a new mappers project, you are helping put someone on the map and building up your own skills and experience at the same time.

Re: [HOT] Spam messages
Hi John, One of the main feedback items we got was that people received no notifications of when their work was validated so that is why we switched from sending a message to the users when their work was validated instead of only when it was invalidated. They are probably going to stay and as I said, improved so when people do not want to receive them anymore they can opt out of validation emails/messages specifically. Typically spam is unsolicited emails, however, emails from the Tasking Manager are fully opt-in. If you do not provide your email address, you do not receive any emails. You can remove your email address at anytime and you will no longer receive emails from the Tasking Manager. As I said, eventually you will be able to opt in and out of different types of emails/messages so you could choose to not receive messages or emails when your tasks get validated.

Re: [HOT] Checking validation work in TM3
Hi Scott, Thank you very much for the feedback. We chatted about this on slack and I just want to make clear and review to make sure I did not misunderstand, this is about finding validated tasks to review the validation work. We have had issues with new mappers validating task squares so Scott, you are trying to review "new validators" not "new mappers". We did not come up with a good way to do that, but identified some possible improvements we can make to support this critical use. We focused on some improvements to the stats page, like sortable columns and maybe adding a column or two to the mapper list to indicate their experience level. Thank you again for your time Scott.

Re: [HOT] TM3 and validation
I think you just want to sort by "last feedback" then. That should tell you how long it has been since the mapper last got feedback and if it is the same as their registration time, you know they have probably never gotten feedback. Can you try that and see if it is a fair replacement for your most recently mapped task. I think it will get you the same thing essentially. regards blake On Sat, Oct 21, 2017 at 3:48 PM, john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com> wrote: > Remember I'm basically lazy.

Re: [HOT] TM3 and validation
Hi John, If you could explain just a bit more about why the most recently mapped task is your main priority (sometimes)? I do not understand. I understand it has something to do with someone who mapped 3 months ago, we now also send emails so time passed since they last mapped is much much less of an issue (Martin is going to maybe look at redoing his analysis). We actually started off with what you are asking for, but feedback from users was they were much more interested in getting to the newest mappers the fastest, which is what we ended up going with. Maybe it is easy to add back in, but that table is already pretty crowded.

Re: [HOT] TM3 and validation
Hi John, Thank you very much for your feedback on the TM3, this and the previous. And thank you for putting them in GitHub, that is really the best place for them. The TM3 has better than the most recently mapped task. The most recently mapped task tells you nothing about the skill level or the newness of the mapper. It could have been completed by me, 7+ years in OSM. What I really want is to find when I am validating is the newest mapper who someone has not already given feedback. No point in me giving a 2 hour old user feedback if you got one of their tasks 5 mins ago. That is what you can see in the Tasking Manager 3. I know my accent bugs you, so I made a silent video of how I use the TM3 to get the newest mappers feedback as fast as possible: https://youtu.be/BX8rzi2NqQY Let me know what you think of the workflow in the video if you would please.

[HOT] HOT is activating for Hurricane Irma
Dear friends, HOT has activated to support the Hurricane Irma response. We have good contacts with local responding organizations and international responding orgs. I am working on announcing it more widely, it was just done in the last few hours and trying to get people to help with the activation. We are working through the assessment of the activation protocol, but considering all of the current situation, it is affecting a wide scale area, a storm of great magnitude and we have good contacts with responding organizations. We do not have any specific requests yet. We reviewed Copernicus covered delineation maps and Copernicus rated as no damage and they were well mapped. We are working off of the various hurricane forecasting products, like the National Hurricane Center to focus and prioritize the mapping while we monitor the international local response channels for help with prioritization. Expect projects to change fast and often the priory area in a project will change, please review instructions often as they may keep you updated on the project. We have focused so far on the Leeward Islands, which were already very well mapped, but we have filled in, fixed minor issues and validated 3 island groups so far which will be pushed to HDX OpenStreetMap US has also started reviewing road data in the most likely affect counties. Please spread the word. The URL for Irma projects is: http://bit.ly/IrmaMapProjects The tweet announcing it to retweet is: https://twitter.com/hotosm/status/905612899867119616 Dale, Nate, Mhairi and myself are working the activation primarily. The coordination channel is on our slack, but we are happy to keep IRC updated as well. Join the team ( https://hotosm-slack.herokuapp.com/ ) and then /join #disaster-mapping if you want to help with or watch the activation coordination. Mhairi created the OSM wiki page for this activation: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2017_Hurricane_Irma I believe that the Haiti-Talk list has some traffic related to prep for how this might affect Haiti and it would be really helpful if speakers of French would join that list to help keep the two communities well connected.

Re: [HOT] residential roads within built-up areas
Hi Bjoern, Generally roads that are part of the larger road network infrastructure and serve as connections between settlements but also pass through those settlements are not down tagged to "residential" roads when they pass through settlements. In looking over the wiki, I swear it used to say that secondary, tertiary and unclassifed tags were typically used in settlements for major roads, but I do not see that text anymore. Residential roads are roads whose primary function is access to housing. If the primary function of the road is to connect settlements and it just happens to pass through some residential area I generally leave it as the larger road classification. If the speed limit or other restrictions are placed on it when it passes through settlements, those can be added later as part of the local mapping and iterative refinement process. If you are local to Lusaka, you should connect up with Trudy Hope who is also in Lusaka.

[HOT] Call For Participation: Remote damage assessment formal research experiment kick off
Dear Friends! As HOT Community members Robert Soden and Cristiano Giovando have written about previously, HOT is part of 2 formal research projects on remote damage assessment. This is a critical area of research with several important questions that need to be addressed. Things like timeliness, damage scales, methods, types of damage that can be assessed remotely, etc. After a great deal of preparation and planning, today we are launching 3 separate experiments with the Stanford Urban Resilience Initiative (SURI), the World Bank’s Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), Heidelberg University, and the University of Colorado, Boulder to explore traditional OSM based and new, innovative approaches to remote damage assessments. All of the details on how you can participate can be found in this blog post from Cristiano: https://www.hotosm.org/updates/2017-06-28_call_for_participation_crowdsourced_damage_assessment These are easy ways to have another important impact on disaster response on a global scale and help shape the direction of crowdsourced damage assessments in the future! Please pass this email along to folks you think might be interested, and you can also re-tweet this announcement: https://twitter.com/hotosm/status/880076668009938946 In addition to all the folks who are part of the research project, special thank you's go to Bryan Housel, Nate Smith, Seth Fitzsimmons and David Neudorfer for their help in making the OSM based experiment possible and American Red Cross for creating Portable OSM which the experiment is using as the underlying platform.

[HOT] Update on Sri Lanka Floods
Dear humanitarian mappers, Thank you for supporting the folks facing the devastating floods in Sri Lanka! More data on the areas most affected by flooding is just coming in to the Sri Lanka Disaster Management Center (DMC) over the past 6 hours and now to us for project planning. Malinga, the lead for the HOT/OSM community response, is reviewing that data and looking at where our initial project covers. Good news is the priority area is directly where the data is needed, but as soon as we can get the priority area mapped, we will probably archive the existing project and replace it with a new project based on the new impact data. The latest projects on the Tasking Manager for Sri Lanka can be found here: http://bit.ly/MapSriLanka2017 Thank you again, please keep mapping if you can, and please check back when you can as there is still a great need for your skills and time in this disaster. It is still raining in several parts of the western and southern provinces and more rain is forecast.

Re: [HOT] UPDATED: Sri Lanka Floods - Need experienced mappers/validators for initial projects.
Dear Friends, We have started working with the Sri Lanka Disaster Management Center (DMC) to support them in their response and recovery activity. They have asked us to start mapping more than just roads, but we need to get this roads project finished asap and it is almost done, just a few last task squares to complete. http://tasks.hotosm.org/ (currently project #3094, you can not miss it) If you are an experienced mapper, if you could please find some time as soon as possible to help get this project completed it will be a huge help to the DMC and Malinga as he continues to manage the projects to meet the information needs of the folks facing and responding to this crisis. More projects for the full community to contribute to will be coming shortly, please stay tuned to this email list and our twitter feed. Newer mappers, there are still several projects right now for Ebola and Malaria that need your skills!

Dear Friends, You have made amazing progress on mapping these critical priority areas to help the folks facing and fighting this Ebola outbreak! We have a number of projects that just need to be validated and they are about 90% of the way there.

Re: [HOT] Problem with HOT Export
Hi John, Thank you again for the heads up on the Export Tool. I have passed it on to the folks who can do something about it :) I or they (Brandon probably) will write you back directly if they need any more info. A glitch shut down the server the HOT Export Tool was running on last week, (maybe the week before), and since we restarted it, I think that is when these issues cropped up. I think a configuration got a little crunched or something along those lines. Very sorry for the issues.

[HOT] Walk through of using Mapillary for advanced road editing
Dear Friends, I saw someone posted this link to a Mapillary community outreach person's OSM Diary entry about using Mapillary for advanced road mapping. As you may know, Mapillary is one of the companies that support OSM and HOT both. They recently launched their Humanitarian Mapping Kit to make the skills, tools and training more available in more places. https://www.hotosm.org/updates/2016-07-27_introducing_the_mapillary_humanitarian_mapping_kit_in_partnership_with_hot But, they also help by providing documentation and this OSM Diary entry is great guidance and information about one of the ways Mapillary's tools can be used in humanitarian work. It is not in a typical humanitarian context, but it is exactly one of the several ways local communities can and do use Mapillary after they have been out doing field work to create detail and increased usefulness in the map we can't get from remote imagery. http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/NunoCaldeira/diary/40963 If learning how to do this kind of advanced mapping and field data collection interests you, checkout mapillary.

Re: [HOT] wish list on validation
Hi John, The Tasking Manager 3 should help address the wish list. Currently it shows a list of all the contributors to a project (like the existing TM2) but the columns are "Experience Level" (based on changesets), "Days since registration", "days since last validation" Clicking on any one of the mappers will select all the tasks they have completed and open them in an editor. Hopefully that will help us identify new mappers who have no feedback as well as experienced mappers, also perhaps with no "thank you's" for a long time. cheers blake On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 3:49 PM, john whelan <jwhelan0...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm looking at a project with more than 1,000 tiles that need validating. > Some are done by mappers who are new, some by experienced mappers. > > What I'd like is something to serve up the tiles most in need of validation > in the order of priority. > > So new mappers first, recent work first, trusted mappers last.

Re: [HOT] HOT Webinar: Learn to use Mapbox Studio Next week!
Hi all, Rasagy @mapbox sent me an update to the webinar description, it sounds even cooler than when I first spoke with him about it: "Many HOT projects involve either using existing OSM data on the field, or contributing to improving existing OSM data. How can we highlight and share such contributions through an interactive medium? In this webinar, we will walk through a typical workflow to achieve this using a mix of open source tools, Mapbox Studio & very basic front-end technology. We will be using Overpass Turbo to extract specific OSM datasets that we need, uploading them to Mapbox Studio, creating a custom map layer with control over how to visualize this data, and then adding basic interactivity (like hover for details, toggle to show/hide layers etc.) using Mapbox GL JS." If I did not mention it before, this webinar is scheduled for 90 mins to make sure we can cover everything well and have room for questions and answers throughout the webinar.

Re: [HOT] Inflationary use of the mailinglist
Hi Julian, Thank you very much for being a part of the HOT community! HOT is doing mapping every day of the week and while there are times of severe crisis after a disaster when our mapping is focused and dramatically increased, the daily mapping for humanitarian projects is very important as well. And the HOT email list is the only place we as a community can ask questions and discuss different aspects of how we do things or address issues that affect everyone in the HOT community. Even if sometimes it might get into the weeds. Your email is a good reminder that emails to the HOT list go to a lot of folks, and it is good make sure the emails are relevant to HOT and take a few minutes and see if there is a better, more focused place for some questions or comments. But, if you are ever in doubt but are not sure where to ask, you can always ask on the HOT email list, we are here to support each other and usually if you have a question, so do others. For too many HOT Email list emails, there are a couple of options: 1. Subscribe to HOT's announce only email list. This is where we send our monthly HOT Newsletter and disaster mapping notifications. You will know when there is a disaster crisis mapping event and be able to keep up on HOT happenings via our Newsletter. This might be the best option if you only want to be notified of disaster activities. You can sign up for it here http://eepurl.com/bC7JBj 2. Digest mode, you can change your preferences to only get an email once a day with a list of the emails for day in it. https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot (Go to the bottom, enter your email address, button "Unsubscribe or Edit Options" Thank you again!

Re: [HOT] Adding imagery to JOSM
Hi Andrew, Whoops, hit send a little too quickly on that previous one. You can try LearnOSM: http://learnosm.org/en/josm/josm-adding-imagery/ It has pretty good step by step instructions.

Re: [HOT] Broken (multi)polygon cleanup
Hi Jochen, Thank you very much for writing to the HOT list! I think you will find a lot of enthusiasm for helping get these fixed as well as improving our training and instructions to make sure we minimize new mappers who come to OSM through HOT and Missing Maps making these errors going forward. Can you send me something that would help me see those 1600 examples you found on OSM so I can see what might be going on and how to improve things in HOT/MM workflow to reduce them?

[HOT] HOT's Export Tool Development
Greetings friends! HOT's Export Tool is a resource for getting data out of OSM. It makes it easy to define an area and export the OSM data in a variety of formats for easy use in other tools for analysis, visualizations and map making among other things. HOT is currently in process of improving the tool and integrating it with Humanitarian Data Exchange, a UNOCHA project. This effort is being lead by Mhairi O'Hara and being coded by Brandon Liu. The other reason I am writing is to celebrate their first accomplishment. A long standing bug that made shapefiles sometimes impossible to use has been fixed! Yay! Thank you Mhairi and Brandon! So if you are an Export Tool user and you have run in to the shapefile bug, it has been fixed! Exports away! http://export.hotosm.org/ Cheers Blake -- Blake Girardot OSM Wiki - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot HOTOSM Member - https://hotosm.org/users/blake_girardot skype: jblakegirardot Live OSM Mapper-Support channel - https://hotosm-slack.herokuapp.com/ ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
Re: [HOT] Starting a new mapping project
Hi Manuel, This is not a problem. The main criteria is that a humanitarian organization needs the data for field work. Please send me directly something that outlines the area you are interested in having mapped, shapefile, geojson or .osm file will work. As well as some details on the organizations that need the data and how it will help their project. cheers, Blake On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 2:18 PM, Manuel Claeys Bouuaert <manuel.claey...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi > > I've organised a few Missing maps events now, and for our next one, we are > thinking of a new possible task in a nature reserver in DRC Congo.

Re: [HOT] can't subdivide #2571 - Taraba State Road Network Mapping for Vaccine Delivery Routing, Nigeria
HI Daniel, I can split task squares into 4 parts and I see some that have been split a few times. There is a limit to the number of times a task square can be split, which I think is 2 times, could that be what is happening? You do have to check out with the "Start Mapping" button before you get the split link. Please let me know if that is not the case and the specific task number and I will look into it further. Thank you for all you contributions Daniel!

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore
Hi Mike, hi all, Mike, I found out why you now get the purple task box again: OSM made a change to how the OSM website works with secure connections yesterday which fixes the issue with the purple task outline loading in iD. This means everyone should start seeing the purple task outline in the iD editor now!

Re: [HOT] Bounding box not in iD Editor anymore
HI Mike, First off, our apologies for this issue. I can not really imagine the difficulty of running a mapathon with this issue going on. It has been very difficult for us to resolve, but Nate, David, Pierre, Ethan and myself have really been focused on it since the problem appeared a few days ago. It took all of us (well, all of them, I was mostly just panicking the whole time) to track down the issue and then develop and test the fixes, which are a mix of Tasking Manager code changes and configuration changes to multiple parts of our web server software. We have figured out the fixes earlier today, but it is, pretty complicated, and time consuming to deploy on our production server and we were not able to accomplish it today because David is travelling this evening. Honestly, it is just a symptom of the difficult nature of the problem that you are now getting the purple task square again. We have made no changes to our production server. Different browsers handle the underlying problem (technically called a "mixed-content" issue) differently. Aside from maybe a different browser, or different browser version, or a different OS, I am not sure why you are getting the purple square now. Sometime tomorrow at the latest David and Nate will be able to roll the fixes to our software and systems out to our main production Tasking Manager server and then everyone should start getting the purple task square in iD again. Nate Smith, David Neudorfer, Pierre Giraud and Ethan Smith are among the very best at what they do and we are lucky to have them working and volunteering for HOT. Again, our apologies for the problem, it has been our top priority to get fixed this week.

Re: [HOT] Leaving my Missing Maps job
Hi Pete, Congrats on your success making mapping more a part of MSF's work and on the new gig! One of the very best things about volunteering with HOT and Missing Maps has been the opportunity to meet, hangout and work with you and through your efforts support MSF's incredible work.
