22h12<br>> Objet : Re: [HOT] HOT 2013 Board Election Results--Congratulation from<br>> OSM/OpenDRI Nepal Community<br>><br>> Hi,<br>><br>> I am writing this from Nepal. First of all, I would like to congratulate the<br>> newly elected HOT team members and the HOT community as a whole. Second, I<br>> am taking this opportunity to introduce some humanitarian OSM works we have<br>> started here in Nepal.<br>><br>> As many of you are aware, Nepal is at high risk from earthquakes. Please<br>> have a look at this report:<br>> http://nepalitimes.com/news.php?id=16720#.UPn-fOh8OpI. Unfortunately, we do<br>> not have online maps for preparedness or rescue works in case we are hit by<br>> an earthquake.<br>><br>> With The World Bank's support under its Open Data for Resilience Initiative<br>> (OpenDRI), we are aggressively expanding OSM Nepal community to collect<br>> major POIs and urban structural data
including building footprints. We have<br>> started this from Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. We reach out to<br>> schools, colleges, and community groups to talk about and train them in OSM.<br>> Since other sources of GIS data are difficult to find, expensive to buy, and<br>> often outdated here in Nepal, people get excited when we talk about OSM.<br>><br>> One major hindrance has been existing images, which makes it too difficult<br>> to digitize building footprints. We are working to get better resolution<br>> images and hoping to have those soon for Kathmandu Valley. Once we have<br>> that, we will seek your help with tasks that can be done remotely including<br>> digitizing building footprints. If you are interested to come to the ground<br>> or are coming to Nepal for any other purpose, lets know so that we can<br>> organize a mapping meetup and exchange our learning. For those who are<br>> thinking to
go for vacation, Nepal has great hiking/trekking sites. Here,<br>> you can take mapping and hiking together!<br>><br>> Congratulations once again. We look forward to work together and help each<br>> other.<br>><br>> Nama<br>> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>> Nama R.
