[talk-ph] Missing Maps Project

[Leonard Soriano]

Dear Robert,
I am also interested in this project. Perhaps if you are here in Manila next month it would be good to organize a meet up where you could share and explain possible collaboration work with OSM-PH.
Cheers,

 Hi Robert,

There is a planned project to complete the basic map of the province of Bohol. Unlike Cebu, Iloilo, Leyte, and Negros Occidental, more than half of Bohol still doesn't have readily available satellite imagery which can help with completing the map so either we try to procure imagery for the province or use the old-fashioned method of collecting GPS tracks. There was a huge earthquake almost exactly a year ago in Bohol and a fairly complete map would have been very useful back then.

Hi Eugene,
Fantastic! We think that all three phases of Missing Maps would work in the Philippines, though the exact arrangement would depend on the site(s). There are a lot of people here in America who would like to contribute via digitization and we want to be open to that. But the real impressive work will always happen in the field and in the classroom afterwards when we digitize. To the extent possible we want to do as much of our work out of the Philippines as we can.
I'll be back in the Philippines later this month and would be delighted to speak more with you all about potential opportunities. We're still lining up funding and hence can't make any promises yet, but we're very hopeful.
Best,Robert

Hi Robert,I'm interested in bringing Missing Maps here in the Philippines. What phase of the project do you think would be best done here? If I understand correctly, the Missing Maps project can have 3 phases: an initial digitization of satellite imagery, then on-the-field data collection (names, etc.), then finally inputting the collected data.~Eugene
Hi Jim et al,
I work in GIS for the American Red Cross. We're one of the founding agencies behind Missing Maps and are working with the Philippines Red Cross on recovery programs for Typhoon Yolanda. We'd be interested in working with OSM-PH on Missing Maps collaboations here if there's any interest on your side. We really like the idea of partnering with local OSM communities and y'all have really built a good one here.
Any takers?

Best,Robert Banick
