[HOT] Proposition HOT Monthly Cooking

[Pierre Béland]

The weekly irc discussion for Mali Activation, last year, was a very dynamic meeting where both HOT contributors, developpers and humanitarians for Mali gathered. This is this way that Nicolas proposed and developped an Imagery Crowdsourcing tool  called Kuona to locate villages in semi-desertic or flooded zones. Others proposed ways to analyze this data of populated places with the OSM highway database, etc.  We also had discussions with field people on how to better identify important infrastructures.

Activities that let gather, be innovative, dynamice can be both fun and productive. With the new Mumble Server that Andrew Buck has proposed, it would be interesting to restart such an initiative. We could again invite people from various horizons. As a start this could be once a month.  This would be also one way to assure that various projects such as the Highway tagging schema continue to advance.


And a proposition of an name to identify such session : HOT Monthly Cooking !
