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

[Joseph Reeves]

Hi Robert,

Agree with your email. I think on this point, however,

I don't think that anything should go out without the full endorsement of
> the activation leads, since they have to "own" it

At the moment, things such as activation leads, or even the activation
status, are fluid. My point is that we can put out a short blog post to ask
people to help (the current one looks good and is ready to go, IMO); later,
the activation organisation can be firmed up and this blog post can be
largely forgotten. Nobody needs to own it.

All we want at the moment is people to help mapping. This doesn't take
anything from any future improved activation organisation.

Cheers, Joseph
