Volunteers needed

[Song, Stephen]

Hi all,

You may have noticed that the AfTerFibre map is growing steadily now.
See http://afterfibre.womble.co.za/

But your help is needed. There is too much fibre out there for me to
do this alone. If you've been dying to mess around with Google Earth,
now is your chance :-) Alternatively, if you work for a large
organisation (like say the World Bank for instance) surely you have an
intern or two who can spare a little time for this noble enterprise?
Here are a few to start with.

Nigeria - MultiLinks

Kenya NOFBI network

Zimbabwe - Powertel

South Africa - Telkom (not for the faint of heart :-)

The instructions are at

Feel free to email me or skype (steve_l_song) me any time if you
need help.

Many thanks... Steve

I should blog this. I have had some success in recruiting volunteers
for other development issues. I also have some contacts in the Digital
Earth movement I can ask. I'll let you know if I find anything useful.

Would it help to adapt the user interface to show the latest
contributors to the map, or perhaps a leaderboard for
contributions.... from which I will exempt myself of course.

Have you checked out the Standby Task Force? or GIS Corps? We are a
group of volunteers who do stuff like this all the time and just
completed an USAID tasking three days early, so I posted the "Many
Possibilities..." link to our active groups. I think it would help a
lot to have better access to the places/maps/images that have yet to
be done. We could whip through tons of this stuff quickly. Also.. Open
Street Map is an excellent resource for microtasked crowdsource
mapping projects. The interface used for Haiti map is dirt simple and
rocks.
