Subject: Mapping Party this Saturday (11/26) at ESIH, 10am-3pm

Dear You All interested in mapping, maps of Haiti (how to find/use them), geo-information, GIS systems, etc.

In the spirit of open communities, open source and making the best map of Haiti <http://j.mp/osm-ht>  even better a Mapping Party <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapping_parties>  will be hosted this Saturday, November 26, from 10am to 3pm at Ecole Supérieur d'Infotronique d'Haiti (ESIH).
Address: 29, deuxième ruelle Nazon, Port-au-Prince
Map: http://j.mp/osm-esih
+ Coordinates: 18.54069, -72.31952

* Mapping Party:
- Understanding what OpenStreetMap <http://osm.org>  is and how it enables anyone and everyone to map their neighborhood, city, country .. and the world.
- Actually mapping your world (we will start with the neighborhood we are at ;) with on-the-ground survey and editing of the collected data. .. You can also edit the map of your favorite area if you wish (home, school, work, work projects, etc). As you can see from the above map link the OpenStreetMap map of the ESIH surroundings (and most of Haiti) is already quite good. But no worries, there is a _lot_ to still work on, to add to the map, to fix, etc. OpenStreetMap is a wonderfully flexible map platform that encourages adding any real-world physical objects into it from roads to footpaths to walls to individual streetlights and trees to schools, restaurants, hotels, (all) buildings including huts and shelters to rivers and streams to practically anything else!

Q: What do you need?
A: Bring (if you have):
- pen and paper
- laptop
- digital camera (helps in documenting on-the-ground surveying, mobile phone camera is often good enough)
- GPS or a smartphone with a GPS (iPhone, Android, many of the Nokia/Symbian models)
- a compass (that can help people who are not good in reading maps to learn reading maps)

If you want to dive into OSM / mapping before Saturday you can do so by either diving into the OSM Wiki at http://wiki.osm.org/ or perhaps a more compact point-of-entry would be the recently published "LearnOSM: Beginner's Guide to OSM", which is available freely at http://www.learnosm.org/beginners-guide/ (in HTML as well as a hefty 37 page, 43MB PDF document).

Light snack in the form of water & bread w/ peanut butter & jam will be server during the event.

Please pass on this invitation to anyone you think could be interested to join or knows people who could be interested to join us.
Please also RSVP if you are coming to the event either at the Facebook event page, adding a comment to this invitation at http://mappinghaiti.posterous.com/ or by replying me (/sending email to jaakko at helleranta.com).

I hope to see you on Saturday and/or in the mapping events to come!

Kòm ou ka wè nan lyen ki anwo a kat jeyografik kat jeyografik la OpenStreetMap nan anviwònman yo ESIH (ak pi fò nan Ayiti) se deja afè bon. Men, pa gen enkyetid, gen yon _lot_ toujou travay sou, pou ajoute pou kat jeyografik la, repare, elatriye OpenStreetMap se yon platfòm kat jeyografik bèl fleksib ki ankouraje ajoute nenpòt objè reyèl-mond fizik nan li soti nan wout santi'y nan miray a moun ekleraj ak pye bwa yo nan lekòl, restoran, otèl, (tout) ki gen ladan bilding kabin ak abri rivyè ak sous dlo pratikman nenpòt lòt bagay!
