[Talk-ca] Local mapathon, BC2020 imports and Climate resiliency challenge

[Jonathan Brown]

I’ll meet with Kelsey and try to get to an OSM Toronto Meetup to see how Nate and others end up doing it in Toronto. Maybe Kelsey and I can do adapt that experience for Northumberland County. We have a local group interested in bike trails that I can approach.  

I’m also interested in the HOT pilot “Integrating Machine Learning into the Tasking Manager: Notes on a Direction” https://www.hotosm.org/updates/integrating-machine-learning-into-the-tasking-manager/. I learned about this work at the session on “Assisted Intelligence - How humans map with the support of new technologies” that Felix (HOT) and Surabhi (Microsoft) presented at State of the Map in Heidelberg.

In the long run, I could see organizing a hackathon using the OSM building footprints and linked open data to design a climate resiliency planning challenge at the local level. (See example based on Open City Model: http://www.buildzero.org/).

I was under the impression that most buildings in both Port Hope and Cobourg had been manually mapped.

Now the outlines have been done it really needs boots on the ground to add detail.  There are addresses from Canvec which give an address range so Stats might have something better but I'm not sure.

What exactly are you looking for?  I'm sure if you and Kelsey were to sit down over a mug of coffee as the local mappers to the area you may decide that a buildings import would be useful but I'm not sure how many more buildings remain to be mapped in the area.

Ditto Kevin’s post. Erik, I live in Cobourg and have an interest in working with local mappers to map Northumberland County. At the moment we only have one novice (myself) and Kelsey Saunders, a GIS grad.
