Building ideas based on Map Kibera data into real projects is going to be really core. SODNet, who are offering to host trainings and editings and office space, for free, are interested in Map Kibera exactly because it will be useful to work they support in NGO and govt monitoring and accountability. Pamoja Trust, who have just come on as a local partner, are doing complementary mapping work along the Kibera railway line, very detailed work to support a community based resettlement plan, and they are interested in incorporating techniques like Walking Papers. Carolina for Kibera is starting a trash collection project, and wants maps to help in planning. All the community media we collect along with the project can possibly go on the map. Ushahidi may be able to provide a platform for that. And on and on, with everyone we talk to :)

UN Centre December 2

A big part of our strategy is outreach to data communities in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa. We want to introduce our work in Kibera, specifically OpenStreetMap, and more generally concepts and techniques on geo data sharing.

We'd like to organize a Mapping Party at the UN Center next month. This would be a full day .. with some mapping on the Gigiri centre grounds, discussion on available data source, and brainstorming on quick-win projects that demonstrates the effectiveness of open data. There's possibilities of connecting some of the ideas into quick demonstration projects, in connection with techies from the Nairobi OpenStreetMap community, and the global community.

Bo Pedersen has offered to help organize an event for December 2. We'd like to have 15-20 people, folks working in GIS or monitoring, or just interested in OSM.
