<div dir="ltr"><div>## Summary of NYC building footprint import</div><div><br></div><div>Conversation on imports-us hangout [1] tonight went well. We're ready to start again. I'm summarizing our conversation here and at the same time updating the imports list for consideration.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Status:</div><div><br></div><div>- All conversion issues discovered in latest review round have been addressed [1] [2]</div><div>- Almost all issues in data already updated to OSM have been addressed and there is a plan for the ones that haven't been updated yet [3] </div>
<div>- All data has been reexported</div><div>- The import has been restructured from a community import with import sessions on the ground to a smaller group of volunteer mappers and folks from the mapbox team running the uploads. This makes coordination easier and makes it easier to ensure proper introduction to a quite complex task.</div>
<div>- We have beefed up documentation and added a common issues section <a href="https://github.com/osmlab/nycbuildings/wiki" target="_blank">https://github.com/osmlab/nycbuildings/wiki</a> - the documentation is linked from the tasking server</div>
<div>- Participating mappers are listed on the wiki, get in touch if you'd like to participate <a href="https://github.com/osmlab/nycbuildings/wiki" target="_blank">https://github.com/osmlab/nycbuildings/wiki</a></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Next steps:<br><div><div><br></div><div>- We plan to start first test imports of 10 voting districts by Friday if no further blockers arise.</div><div>- Until then we will review 5 percentage points more of the data that's already uploaded (get up to 355 validated districts from 239)</div>
<div>- Provided no issues arise, we will pick up import again in the week of the 24th.</div><div><br></div><div>Looking forward to your comments / feedback.</div><div><br></div><div>Imports-us group: please add if I'm missing anything from my summary.</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>Summary:</div><div><br></div><div>- At this point, all conversion issues are addressed</div><div>- Existing data issues are addressed with very few exceptions.</div><div>- In the last hangout we decided that a fully community based import is not suitable and there were misunderstandings. We'll switch to a mode where we do the import with a handful of registered participants this we can make sure each participant is trained properly. Everyone is welcome.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We're at a good place to restart and would love to get a review here. Paul's list is a good agenda <a href="https://github.com/osmlab/nycbuildings/issues/84" target="_blank">https://github.com/osmlab/nycbuildings/issues/84</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Is there an imports-us hangout tomorrow Monday / 17th 7PM? If so, I'd be ready to discuss. I can also do another day if that works better for people. </div><span><font color="#888888"><div>
