[Fwd: [Fwd: [CrisisMappers] Fwd: Haiti Rebuilding - Schools info]]

[Jean-Guilhem Cailton]

Hello Amy,

I am forwarding your mail to the OpenStreetMap-Haiti mailing list (http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ht/2010-February/thread.html)
where someone may be interested and decide to import these schools in the OSM map of Haiti
(http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Haiti).

(Actually, I am interested, for one.)

I appreciated very much watching the first two videos.

Would you have accompanying information that would add value to the GPS data ? Like for instance
- school names (the GPS file only contains info like "SCHOOL TAG 001" (to "SCHOOL TAG 035")),
- or links with the videos (like time codes corresponding to GPS locations),
- or anything else that you would like to make publicly available...

Or maybe, you or Luke will find it more convenient to add this info once the schools' locations are on the map ? (With OpenStreetMap tools, they are designed to be easy to use for everybody, including non-specialists).

Anyway, let's get going and see where this goes.

Best regards,

Jean-Guilhem
Toulouse, France

Hello all,

 

I'm forwarding an email from Luke Renner of Fireside International with GPS data for over 30 schools that he's personally visited and assessed in Port-au-Prince.  I'm not a GIS person... I was directed to this listserv by folks at Crisis Commons because I was trying to find someone who could use Luke's data.  Would you guys be able to use this data?

 

I'd appreciate a ping back so I know whether I've found the right place for this.

Best,

Amy Moffitt

Hello all,

Thanks to Amy for connecting us to the wonderful work that all of you are doing.  I have attached a .gpx file containing the GPS coordinates for 35 schools.  As we continue working, I will be collecting more to share.

Please feel free to let me know if there are things that you need that I can also be getting while I am out running around.

In service,

Luke Renner

Hi Tim,

Thanks again for your prompt and detailed response to my query on the crisiscommons listserv.  A little more info...  Luke Renner from Fireside International http://www.firesideinternational.org has been on the ground in Port-au-Prince since the quake and has collected data on over 30 schools in the area.  He has posted video on YouTube of some of the schools (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tCg9bGpHTA --this is video 1... you can view the rest of the videos at his YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/firesideint ) and is putting together GPS data on the schools. 

I don't know what kind of resources you guys have on the ground, but I've been very impressed with Luke's work and his apparent connections in the community.  I'm copying Luke on this email so that you guys can be in touch.  You can also follow Luke on Twitter at @firesideint

Peace,

Amy Moffitt
