<div></div><div> </div></div><div>Andrew can explain more, but the idea is that if you are an
organization already using ESRI web services, it's then simple to create an Open Data site for sharing your data on your own site. So a humanitarian organization already using ESRI tools could use this workflow to share data for import into OSM. Since it's built into the tools and marketing, organizations are confronted with the concepts of Open Data. It's pretty new, so I haven't seen this in the wild yet, but perhaps Andrew could share some examples.</div>

<br clear="none">Sev and I will make sure to talk with the ESIR pople behind those tools while maintaining up the dialogue with the other ESRI folks assisting the International NGOs (IGOs), International Organizations (IOs) and UN Agencies as well as with their Response Team with the view to foster uses and contibutions to the use of OSM in the Humanitarian - Development continuum.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none"></div>Aside of the software, as pointed out by Sev, there is a user requirements analysis dimension to the attending of this #GISfortheUN Conference. This a significant part of the "classic" actors of the Hum/Dev GIS scene that UNOST/UNITAR, ITU and ESRI succeeded in gathering in Geneva for the third time. It's good to attend the event in a <i><b>listening</b></i> <i><b>mode</b></i> and seek the most thorough understanding (ideally with usecases) of how in 2014 April those actors are using GIS/RS, imagery and OSM, neogeography, VGI, VTCs to achieve their mandate.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none"></div>Less classic actors attend as well Drone Adventures (UAVs), SBTF/DHN folks and the social part of the conference with practiioners of this whole/large Hum/Dev GIS/RS/Space-based community is rich for our network/relation building. This completes well the relation built over activations, on-the-ground work as well as coordination positions in the Digital Humanitarian Network, and other fora.<br clear="none">

Good update about ESRI products and capacities cause I did not use ArcGIS much (or at all) since 2011. I am definitely an Open source software fan, but ESRI still remains by far the first GIS software used by humanitarian organizations and we need to see how to interact with it so that the OSM data is more (and more) used, what is basically our main goal. But actually the ESRI workshops will stand tomorrow and the day after to know how ESRI. Today was more keynotes and kind of speed
presenting from various
organizations. Was great to meet people from MapAction and SBTF but also responders, GIS officers from the UN we meet less and see either their use of OSM, sometimes massive, or their limited knowledge about it. We really have a lot to fill on this. Providing more consolidated data is also a key, as often OSM mixes very precise detailed areas to some others scarcely mapped. Improving this should clearly one main collective objective (I talked about it a few weeks ago <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/sev_hotosm/diary/21038" target="_blank">here</a>) and the TM v2 will be a great help.</div>
