<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi Jonathan,</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I'm probably missing
something, but you don't link training videos from the tasking
manager. The tasking manager is about splitting up some
pre-defined mapping jobs (eg trace outline of building from bing
satellite image), into small chunks that people can finish in a
short amount of time. So people don't work on things other
people are already working on.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">If people are adding
what they already know, then you don't need a tasking manager.
People just go ahead and add it, if it is not already there
(checking if it is already there is important so we don't get
duplicate things). Presumably beginners are only going to add
one thing at a time in ID editor, and they're all in the same
room, so scope for conflict is small (easily solved with
everyone announcing what they are doing before starting it).</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">For your session later
this month, it sounds to me like you want someone to <br>
</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">introduce the topic
of mapping in OSM<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">introduce the ID
editor</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">go through some
samples of things to be added</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">then everybody get
on their laptop and start trying to edit things, with the
leader checking what is going on</font></li>
</ul>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">(this is how my
introductory session went last April when I joined a meetup
group in Ottawa)</font><br>
</p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The task manager is not
needed in this scenario.</font></p>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">But please correct me if I
totally missed your point.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">We want to run the mapathon by setting up a
task in the Tasking Manager with links to the OSMLearning
video tutorials and use cases for the instruction section. We
want to make the task as simple as possible (e.g., adding
points of interest based on participants’ local knowledge
augmented with information from social services and NGOs who
will be participating). </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The goal is to have the participants apply
OSM morning training to a problem solving task in the
afternoon, similar to what Sterling Quinn did for the Philly
Fresh Food Mapathon: <a

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would need to add tasks to the OSM
Tasking Manager that encompass the school boards and schools
within the geography to be mapped - Durham Region, Niagara
Region, Northumberland County, and Greater Peterborough area.
For March 29 the priority is for Durham Region and
Northumberland County. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for a train-the-trainer
model for 8-10 facilitators (teachers, senior secondary and
postsecondary students) that can be repurposed for other
mapathon events this spring and fall.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There will be a follow-up event in the
early fall. We are exploring ways to build this type of
mapathon event into the workflows of the educational and local
planning structures and processes at the municipal and
regional level. Alessandro and his colleagues at the TB Open
Data branch are well aware of what we are trying to do. </p>

Jonathan,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Are
you trying to set up the tasking manager, or you just want
to add a project to the existing tasking manager <a

If you describe the details of what you're trying to
accomplish (look at existing tasks), then someone can
probably add a task for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Or
do you want to know how to run a mapathon using the task
manager?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Or?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">A
bit more details of what you're trying to do would be
helpful...</span></p>
