[HOT] Hot on the Ground

[Douglas Ssebaggala]

Thanks all,

HOT really has a great team, and community, doing great work to make OSM
data good coupling that with tools like OMK and now OSM Analytics. Enabling
mappers, map better and faster.

I think we have mapped financial services in 22 Districts in Uganda for a
record time: less than four months!! while mentoring and working together
with Local OSM Communities.

There's even growing enthusiasm in Gulu
<http://www.redcross.org/news/article/New-Mapping-Technologies-for-the-Developing-World>,
it was a great training.
