I wanted to let<br>this community know personally for a few different reasons....</p><p>Firstly, to say thanks for the education. It has been an absolute pleasure<br>to work with such a varied bunch of dedicated, passionate and clever people.<br>I have been an MSF fanboy for a long time and I am now a HOT and OSM fanboy<br>too. My job over the past two and a half years has been to try, as much as<br>possible, to find the overlaps and opportunities between these two (very<br>different) organisations and communities. As I hope you have noticed, I have<br>tried to connect the dots between what the HOT and Missing Maps community<br>can do for MSF and the impact that that volunteering has on real people<br>(both our staff in the field and our patients). What you probably don't<br>know is that I also evangelise HOT / OSM within MSF - not just for the<br>mapping, but for the principles of openness and teamwork and sharing that<br>make mapping and collaborating on such a scale possible.</p><p>Secondly, because you should know that what you have accomplished during<br>this past two and a half years through HOT activations and Missing Maps<br>projects is pretty unprecedented in MSF. Operational people and medical<br>people within MSF now *expect* to be able to rely on Missing Maps and HOT to<br>deliver data for decision making in the places we work. The quality of your<br>work and the dedication you show (often at very short notice) has taken the<br>project from a suspiciously viewed, disruptive, unorthodox and often<br>misunderstood project in MSF into a tool that the people delivering aid on<br>the ground value and want. That's huge.</p><p>Thirdly, I appreciate that there are massive challenges ahead. Discussion<br>started by Fred on validation is high up that list. As is the scale of the<br>supply and demand from organisations like MSF. As is how we leverage the<br>data these organisations are collecting on the ground as part of their<br>day-to-day to enrich the OSM database (but including how we do that in a<br>resposible and sustainable way). I have no doubt that together we (I fully<br>intend to stay a part of the HOT community despite the change in day job)<br>can address these challenges and whatever comes after. I would like to offer<br>this opportunity to feed back to me any thoughts you may have on the future<br>of Missing Maps and MSF or any other feedback you may have.</p><p>Lastly, there is going to be a very cool job available at MSF UK. Not an<br>easy job by any means (the phrase jack of all trades doesn't do it justice),<br>but a massively fulfilling one. Knowing the talent available amongst you,<br>I'd strongly encourage you to take a look when the job is advertised.</p><p>That's it really. It's not goodbye by any means and I look forward to<br>continuing these discussions beyond the end of my MSF Missing Maps job...<br>Apologies for the lack of brevity!</p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Pete</p><p>--<br>Pete Masters<br>Missing Maps Project Coordinator<br>+44 7921 781 518</p><p>missingmaps.org</p><p>@pedrito1414<br>@theMissingMaps<br>facebook.com/MissingMapsProject</p><p>_______________________________________________<br>HOT mailing list<br>HOT@openstreetmap.org<br><a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot</a></p></blockquote><p>--</p><p>----------------------------------------------------<br>Blake Girardot<br>OSM Wiki - <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Bgirardot</a><br>HOTOSM Member - <a href="https://hotosm.org/users/blake_girardot">https://hotosm.org/users/blake_girardot</a><br>skype: jblakegirardot<br>Live OSM Mapper-Support channel - <a href="https://hotosm-slack.herokuapp.com/">https://hotosm-slack.herokuapp.com/</a><br>Next best OSM support - <a href="https://help.openstreetmap.org/">https://help.openstreetmap.org/</a><br>BE A PART OF HOT'S MICRO GRANTS: <a href="https://donate.hotosm.org/">https://donate.hotosm.org/</a></p><p>------------------------------</p><p>Message: 3<br>Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 21:25:04 +0100<br>From: Gertrude Hope <trudyhope7@gmail.com><br>To: "hot@openstreetmap.org" <HOT@openstreetmap.org><br>Subject: [HOT] Women mapping<br>Message-ID:<br> <CALviEdWhRe=QWQXuaQwdU5=H9mRRc16eVpEJPWR7Vb9nTdy3MA@mail.gmail.com><br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"</p><p>Hello mappers,</p><p>I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the mapping you<br>are all doing.
