[HOT] [OSM-talk] Guinea Ebola Outbreak, Mapping to support MSF

Wed Mar 26 14:16:58 UTC 2014

I like the idea of a short blog post that can reach potential contributors who aren't following our mailing list. We have to remember that not everyone is as engaged as us when it comes to following mailing lists. Like Joseph said, it gives people something to link to (like me, tweeting, for instance). If we can reach even one more contributor then surely that's a good thing.

It doesn't seem particularly important an to me who does it, but I don't think that anything should go out without the full endorsement of the activation leads, since they have to "own" it. I understand that the organizers of this activation are already quite busy and like Heather's compromise of pulling together text that can be edited and approved by the activations leads. Thoughts?

Definitely something for a later working group to hammer out in more detail though.

Good point Severin. We don't actually have a clear guideline or common understanding written up on our customs and practices when it comes to blogging, blogging and activation, and activations generally. This is a mandate we can bring to appropriate working groups (activation, communications) to make clear.

For the current blog post, I think it's great Heather is supporting this by helping coordinate. I don't see any issue with whoever is appropriate taking authorship of a collaborative post.

Hi Heather,

The custom is more the people leading the Activation post on the blog, with a bit more context and past/current/coming activities.

Actually, it has not been decided if it is an official HOT activation or a simple monitoring, and who is leading it. I just initiated the very beginning but I am not very available and Pierre and Andrew have run the activities. How do you feel to monitor this, guys? Amadou, who I think has already visited Guinea and train people there on OSM, could also help if interested and available.

Sincerely,

Severin

Morning, I started a draft blog post about this activation. Can you help edit? I'm at work and would need someone to help lead curate the right content. This will help with our wider outreach.

I'll circle back in 3 hours and post it to the blog.

Following the Ebola outbreak, MSF Switzearland needs rapidly maps of three towns. Thy are requesting since this area is actually unmapped. New imagery have been obtained.

Could you please point to that imagery ?
