Dear OSM Somalia community,

information on AOI falling into Uganda is clearly a typo.

Thanks for you comprehension,
Michael Montani

Oggetto: [Talk-so] Unite Maps - Topographic data editing

Dear OSM Somalia community,
Unite Maps Initiative<https://geoportal.dfs.un.org/arcgis/apps/sites/#/unitemaps>, as Organised Editing Activity<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Organised_Editing/Activities>, is going to edit OpenStreetMap<https://www.openstreetmap.org/> adding topographic features in Somalia including:
- Highways
- Waterways
- Landcover + landuse
- Places
- Any other relevant point of interest

In particular, we will focus in the areas showed HERE<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:UniteMaps_AOI_Somalia.png>. The editing activity will last until the end of June 2021. Some areas are located in Uganda.

The editing is perfomed both with an internal capacity of mappers based at the United Nations Global Service Centre (UNGSC)<https://www.ungsc.org/>, and with crowdsourcing activities of a thriving community of mappers, the UN Mappers<https://bit.ly/UNMappers>. You can contribute to our Tasking Manager projects HERE<https://tasks.hotosm.org/explore?organisation=UN%20Mappers>.

In particular, we have opened a project in Somalia: https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/9310

If you want to stay regularly updated on UN Mappers activities you can send a mail to un.mappers at un.org<mailto:un.mappers at un.org>. If you have any complaint about our activities in your area, just reply to this thread or contact us to the aforementioned mail address.

Thank you and have a nice mapping!
