Hi Jeremy,<br>
<br>
I support the idea and project. I will dedicate my time in mapping
this to help my West African neighbor.<br>
<br>
Blake, am interested. Will contact you off list.<br>
<br>
Regards.<div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>Just a small remark : recently we got high resolution
imagery for whole Cameroon from DigitalGlobe. And in the far
north along the border with Nigera they face the same <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/11341289/Boko-Haram-push-across-border-to-attack-Cameroon-army.html" target="_blank">problems</a>,
and Nigerian refugees are coming too... So it might be an idea
to start over there? I now a bunch of ngo's are working in the
far north, like French Red Cross, GIZ and Unicef. <br>

<br>
I support the project idea and am glad to help with
creating, documenting and managing projects in the Tasking
Manger (which is not the hardest part of a project like
this) for whomever would like to manage the overall project.<br>
<br>
The first step would be to work out the licensing issues
with the imagery and it needs to be put on a TMS server so
we can use it in iD and JOSM.<br>
<br>
We have a process for imagery that I am not familiar with
except that I know requests always exceed availability in
terms of imagery available, hosting and bandwidth to make it
available and people power to get it it all arraigned.<br>
<br>
It seems like the availability is taken care of, not by
Amnesty International, but by their imagery provider,
DigitalGlobe who is very generous with our HOT mapping needs
is my understanding, so I think they are receptive to
licensing for our use but would have to specifically grant
us permission to use the imagery they provided to AI as it
does not look to me like AI's current usage rights would
allow us to use it. Plus we would need the georeferenced
hi-res source imagery that AI is not providing. Then the
hosting issue.<br>
<br>
But the whole process is something even a fairly new HOT
community member can give a try if you (or anyone) is
interested. It will just take a bit longer as you will have
to learn the process as well as go through it :)<br>
<br>
If you (or anyone) is interested, I am happy to help, I want
to learn the process myself anyway. Just contact me off list
and let me know.<br>
<br>
And of course, this is just my opinion and understanding, I
could be missing something totally.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Blake

Hi,<br>
<br>
After the attacks of Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria
this january, a<br>
similar reaction as in Gaza (mapping before/after with
the help of<br>
appropriate aerial images) could be appropriate to
help build a precise<br>
evaluation of the damages.<br>
<br>
As a fairly new/unexperienced HOT contributor, I
couldn't find any<br>
indication of such a project. Is it on track already,
or is it planned ?<br>
<br>
Some aerial images released from Amnesty International
