Revision as of 15:58, 14 April 2011
This page serves as a repository for materials and minutes of the training sessions given by Sébastien to the mappers of MapKibera.
Contents |
Goals
At the end of the training, the mappers should be autonomous in surveying and editing the collected data into OpenStreetMap as well as making use of the data. This implies being able to:
- install the necessary software on a computer
- operate a GPS unit
- organize a mapping party
- understand how data is structured in OSM
- suggest new tags when needed
- monitor the quality of the data
- extract thematic data
- generate a map, generic or thematic
The survey of water sanitation in Kibera will be conducted in parallel to the training, and thus will provide study material.
A longer-term goal is to have the mappers initiate a new community in a new area.
At the end of the training, a certificate will be issued to the trainees who qualify. Evaluation will be conducted by the instructors during the practical sessions and may also include a written test. The terms of the certificate are yet to be determined.
Upcoming topics
- Tags: seems to be a lot of confusion with the terminology (i.e. preset, tags, key, value)
- tag proposal: how to propose a new tag to the OSM community. Example: fuel shop, m-pesa agent...
- JOSM plugins
- wiki: browsing through OSM wiki
- Quality Control: KeepRight!, OSMi
