[talk-ph] DRR project using OSM and open source

[maning sambale]

Dear everyone,

I would like to share that my Institute (www.essc.org.ph) is assisting
a local church group for their disaster management initiative.  The
purpose is to provide scientific and technical information that will
support and enhance the church's disaster related activities through
geospatial information.  We will be using mostly open data and open
source technologies.

The initial baseline information will be openstreetmap.  We also plan
to use OSM related technologies in many aspects of the project. There
will be mapping parties, hazard mapping workshops and community
meetings and discussions.

I am writing the list to invite you to participate in the activities
especially during the mapping parties.  More details soon.

If you have other ideas, don't hesitae to contact me or discuss in this list.

-- 
cheers,
maning
