Re: [HOT] Using a pen tablet for mapping input

2018-03-14 Thread Julio Costa Zambelli
I have been using a Wacom Intuos CTL-490 (probably the cheapest Wacom
available, around USD110 here) combined with JOSM and its FastDraw plugin
for over a year now. All of this in Ubuntu(Gnome) 16.04.

They work great together, specially if you want to map forests, woods,
reservoirs, riverbanks and any other large polygon. Take into consideration
that you will have to tune the preferences of the FastDraw plugin to
balance node density and shape quality. You do not want to make something
with an excesive number of nodes but at the same time you want to take
advantage of the level of detail that the pen alows you to get.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Suzan and everyone at HOT,

This was an aftershock of the September 16th Earthquake (

Re: [HOT] Chile Eathquake alerts

2015-09-17 Thread Julio Costa Zambelli
Thanks Harry.

We have been asking Wille to create tasks as we see the need. There is no
problem with the contributions of HOT volunteers since we almost didn't
have buildings in the area, and they can also contribute with smaller
roads, tracks, landuses, etc. In the past the data has been used for
emergecies in the country by the army, some sanitary authorities and NGOs,
but we can certainly do a better work at making potential users aware of
its existence and how to use it in an easier way.

Hello Pierre,

Wille Marcel gently created a couple of tasks for Coquimbo (the capital of
the region that suffered some tsunami flooding on the lower parts of the
city) and Illapel (an important town near the epicentre of the earthquake
and many of the aftershocks).

I think that we will be working on this region at least during the next
couple of days, specially starting tomorrow once we get more information on
where the destruction is bigger (it looks like the area between Illapel and
Ovalle is the most affected by the quake, and all the coastal area between
La Serena and Concón by the Tsunami).

[HOT] State of the Map LatAm 2015

2015-05-29 Thread Julio Costa Zambelli
Dear All,

Today we officially announced the first State of the Map LatAm. We will
host this conference between September 4th and 6th, in Santiago de Chile.

As many people asked in Buenos Aires, the State of the Map LatAm will take
place in the days just before the AbreLatam (7th-8th) and the ConDatos
(9th-10th) two of the biggest Open Data events in the continent. So many
people can take advantage of their scholarship programs. We will still be
providing scholarships for entry tickets and accomodations in Santiago.

The Call for Proposals will be open until July 3th.

You can get more information in http://sotm.openstreetmap.cl/en and
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_of_the_Map_Latam_2015

Or responding to this message.

 Dear HOT Team,

  I am a chilean OSM mapper. I saw your tasks around the emergency in
 Valparaíso but there are a few hills without cover that currently are in
 fire (I do not know how to say that but I think you can understand it). The
 places are mainly: Cerro Ramaditas[1], Cerro Rocuant[2] and his street
 Cuesta Colorada[3]. You can check this for ourselves in National Television
 of Chile[4] where says Rocuant, Ramaditas and Cuesta Colorada are in alert
 due to the propagation of fire in the area.

 The emergency in this areas has appeared since yesterday.

 Take the time you need to add this areas, but please consider them.

 Best regards,

 Felipe

Dear Russell, Nicolas and the rest of the community,

Thank you all for your concern. The area affected by the fire is mapped in
OSM at a basic level (street names and some footways), it may be of help to
include some more footways and building traces in the affected hills (
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=17/-33.05933/-71.61009).

 Quick read through 'crisis monitoring' pages did not return massive

 great if you can get back to the community in case work is needed.

 We had reached them via email, and now I did via *users:Argentina* forum.

  Dear HOT members:

 My name is Fernando Sanz, from Argentina, I'm involved in the organization
 of the FOSS4G Buenos Aires 2013, which will be held April 24th to 26th. As
 you may know, FOSS4G stands for Free Open Source For Geospatial, which is
 definately a parent category of HOT :)

 We would really appreciate to have HOT represented and it's word spreaded,
 so we invite you to do it.

 Also, we are planning map-a-thons, so I guess that a HOT themed one could
 be a fine option!

 For details please visit http://www.foss4g-ba.org (or
 http://www.foss4g.org.ar for spanish)


 Thanks in advance.
 Let me know,
 Fernando.

 Estoy involucrado en la organización de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires FOSS4G
 2013, que se celebrará abril 24 a 26. Como ustedes saben, FOSS4G significa
 Sofware libre de código abierto para la geomática, que es sin duda una
 categoría principal de HOT :)

 Nosotros realmente apreciamos haber representado HOT y su palabra
 difundida, por lo que los invitamos a hacerlo.

 Además, estamos planeando un mapa-a-thon, así que supongo que una consigna
 HOT podría ser una buena opción!
