> tl;dr, a group of Irish OpenStreetMap members are organising a mapathon on
> 25th July to map large sections of Lesotho and we are looking for
> individuals or groups to participate from around the world. Presently we
> have 3 groups participating from Lesotho, Ireland, & Germany.
>
> We will be using the HOT tasking manager to coordinate 2 large tasks
> - Rural - identify and map the outline of settlements, the major routes to
> and from these settlements and any major features (rivers, lakes etc)
> - Urban - Trace building outlines and complete road networks
>
> A bit of background....
>
> In conjunction with Action Ireland Trust [1], a number of Irish OSM
> members from Fingal County Council [2] traveled to Lesotho for a number of
> weeks in 2013 and then again early in 2014 to assist and train district
> planners in utilising OSM data. This was done in agreement with the
> Ministry for Local Government and Chieftainship and the Chief Physical
> Planner of Lesotho. The trip culminated in an historic memorandum of
> understanding between Lesotho and Fingal County Council [3]
>
> Another group are planning to travel in early 2015 with the following
> objectives as part of their visit:
> - Create an OSM community in Lesotho by engaging with local communities
> and providing training and guidance on surveying and updating OSM
> - Create a basemap of the country for use by all
> - Create an evidence base for decision makers
> - Create an awakeness of Urban Design
>
> Further details can be found on the wiki page [4]
