[HOT] Using the HOT Tasking Manager for field data upload to OSM projects

[Paul Uithol]

Hi Joe,

Please follow https://twitter.com/mapuganda to stay up to date on 
current activities - today, we were organizing a mapathon in Gulu at 
Gulu University, mapping tasks such as 
http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/2770. HOT and CartoNG will be publishing 
many more over the next couple of months. And if you happen to be around 
in Kampala, come visit us at Hive Colab (http://hivecolab.org/)!

Best,
Paul
