HI Nicolas,<div><br></div><div>I am putting together a paper that covers this now... it has to do with statistical (spatial) point pattern analysis and using that to uncover habitat interactions for forestry. If you are interested, I can send you a link to the paper when I get through.</div><div><br></div><div>Lillian <br><br>On Friday, June 28, 2013 6:21:31 PM UTC-4, nicolas chavent wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0;margin-left: 0.8ex;border-left: 1px #ccc solid;padding-left: 1ex;"><div dir="ltr">Hi Russ,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your elements, I look forward to your whitepaper or any format you will find appropriate to wrap up your thoughts from this last and important deployment. I think that your proposal of extensions to other related fields of study and practices make sense and can help out pulling out more thoughtful mapping documents around mapping rural areas in Developed Countries (DCs) and Least Developped Countries (LDCs) which is where my request is based.</div>

Just FYI, this was my field of study in college: Forestry, concentrated in Forest Fire Science with a minor in Spatial Information Management Systems, so I have lots of ideas how OSM could be used in these fields, but I’m still working on locking down a user/use-case study. I have reached out to the U.S. Forest Service and (U.S.) National Wildfire Coordination Group regarding the above and have had some initial feedback that my information would be forwarded to the incident commander for the East Fork Fire. I assume that as IC, that person is probably too busy to reach out while firefighting; I hope as things slow-down that I will get a chance to make the case for OSM and/or HOT for future firefights.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
