If you want to take the training and become part of the Activation Roster, you will need to enroll and complete the Activation Essentials course (as well as one or more of the role course exam(s) that interest you – in other words – you need to be trained for a role to be on a team and complete the endorsement).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Also, what is maybe personally a bit more exciting, is to introduce our “HOT: The Missing Manual” course! This course is the first in our “HOT Basics” category and will hopefully help anyone interested in knowing more about how our community works. It doesn’t currently have a ‘completion’ (i.e. still working on badge/certificate/etc.) but is also available to view the content as a guest until we get that done.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>You can find all this training at the HOT Training Center - <a href="http://courses.hotosm.org/">http://courses.hotosm.org/</a> and of course if you have any trouble, questions, etc. feel free to email <a href="mailto:course@hotosm.org">course@hotosm.org</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Enjoy!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>=Russ<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Russell Deffner<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:Russell.Deffner@hotosm.org">Russell.Deffner@hotosm.org</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://hotosm.org/">http://hotosm.org</a><u><span style='color:blue'><o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
