- OpenStreetMap CrisisCampPDX Recap [1 Update]
Rafa Gutierrez <sound...@gmail.com> Feb 05 09:37AM -0800 ^
Hello,
I've been in touch with a number of you since *CrisisCampPDX *and have been
trying to organize a meetup this month to recap some of the work and lessons
learned from *OpenStreetMap *mapping effort. There were many questions and
ideas floating around but little time to organize it all. I would like to
bring some of the ideas and solutions that I've learned about in the past
two weeks and also hear from others about what will make this a smoother
process when there is another CrisisCamp.
So, rather than keep juggling dates, I'll throw* next Thursday *for a lunch
time meetup. I will post the location but it will likely be somewhere
downtown. *PLEASE RSVP by Tuesday*.
*If you're getting this email for the first time, I just wanted to touch
base with as many open source mappers out there who might be interested in
OSM and the some of the work that has been underway for the CrisisCamps. I
don't know of a local OpenStreetMap group but if there is one, I will be
cross posting with them and others from the CrisisCamp and WhereCamp
communities. Also, there is a CrisisCamp in Seattle this weekend for those
who may have time for more projects.*
Have a great weekend and hope to see you next Thursday!
*OpenStreetMap Meetup*
Thursday, February11, 2010 Noon
Location - Downtown, TBD

I think Tri-Met goes there, even on weekends. Or we could pool
vehicles.

Willamette University agreed to host our CrisisCampSALEM on April 10th
@10am - by collaborating with a new student created group: Willamette
Students for Haiti group.
As a non-techie, I have tried valiantly to read every page of the
website, wiki, project links etc and communicate with leaders, Noel
included. I and a few lead volunteers find the wiki and web pages very
confusing - especially w project status.
Have recruited a few opensource volunteers to help review the
technical side and help direct us toward projects where both tech and
non-tech volunteers can contribute.Correspondence to several project
managers or leads have no response so unsure if those we are
considering have need for more work.
Do you have any suggestions or are you willing to help in some way in
Salem -- since we don't seem to have the same tech community network
here as in PDX.
<2 weeks and am focused more on logistics and volunteer recruitment
as our planning group decided to focus only on Haiti and we are
lacking technically skilled volunteers willing to take a leadership
role.
Any insights you can offer are helpful!
Best, Joan
PS Categories we are interested in include crisiscommons organization
for future crisismanagement support, Pict-O Speak mobile phone
application, French translation (we have a french speaker) and maybe
something with Sahana.
