You will smiling, but yes. Again vandalism. Thousands of obscene names have been added to the map. Entire cities were flooded with offensive expressions. I have never seen so huge vandalism.

I thank everyone who worked on solving this problem. You do the good job. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone, I am here again with the last Blog of my journey as an Outreachy intern. For those who don’t know me , I am Neelima Mohanty , selected as an Outreachy intern at Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOTOSM) for the May to August Cohort. If you are new to my blog then make sure you read my previous Outreachy Blogs before going through this blog post.

Just 3 months ago I received an email at my inbox from the Outreachy organizers according to which I got selected as an intern at Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team for the May to August 2023 cohort . And look today my internship is going to end in just two days . So I planned to take you all into a rollercoaster ride of my internship journey .

In the first month I was welcomed by my mentors Rob Savoye and Petya Kangalova where Petya introduced me about the HOT Community . Next I was assigned with many github issues from the projects FMTM and osm-fieldwork by my mentor Rob . I still remember Rob saying me “ Don’t get overwhelmed by seeing the number of issues assigned . Just pick one and start working now and you don’t have to complete all . Take your time and complete only as much as you can comfortably” . These words were so relaxing for me .

Throughout the months of June and July , I and my mentors worked together . I created PRs and they reviewed it , left comments . I worked on them and finally they merged them . One great thing that I always liked and appreciate is that Petya and Rob always respond quickly to my messages and Rob reviews my PRs in seconds in the most perfect way . I also worked with other members of HOT like Kshitij and Omran for another HOT project called fAIr.

In the last month of my internship Petya and Rob offered me an opportunity to be a co-speaker at the Lightning Talk for the FMTM project at Code for All Summit which I accepted and completed . It will be released on 20th September 2023 on Code for All You tube channel and social media handles. Do watch it .

Yesterday Outreachy organizers had organized a Wrap up chat with all the May to August 2023 cohort interns and mentors where we gave appreciations to our mentors and the organizers gave us a happy farewell.

As now the internship has come to an end , I am invited to attend the Wrap-up Social Event Virtual Meet by Outreachy on 24th August 2023. And my internship ends on 25th August 2023.

My mentors have also scheduled a Wrap-up meet for me on 29th August 2023 in which personally I and mentors will talk about my Outreachy journey and also future opportunities. I am very excited for both the upcoming events.

I thank Outreachy and HOT tech team for giving me such a wonderful opportunity. Finally a huge shoutout to my mentors Rob Savoye and Petya Kangalova for being with me and assisting me at every step of my journey as an intern . That’s it friends , my Outreachy internship journey ends here. Bye 😊

Guten Tag

Ich würde gerne den Bereich des Inselspitals in Bern bearbeiten, weiss aber nicht recht wie. Vielleicht kann mir jemand Tipps geben, wie ich beispielsweise die Spere bei den Gebäudebezeichnungen aufheben kann. Ich bin Mitarbeiter des Spitals und möchte die Karte aktualisieren, so dass die Info auch identisch mit den offiziellen Infos des Amt für Geoinformation Bern. Ich habe in einem Projekt gemeinsam Strassenbezeichnungen, Hausnummern und Gebäude neu benannt. Jetzt muss die Arbeit in den Karten nachgeführt werden.

Freundliche Grüsse

Hi everyone! I am doing my undergraduate studies at Eastern University of Sri Lanka. My course is BA hon’s special in geography. I stared using openstreetmap from 2021 with the guidance of Mr. Sudhaharan sir. In this situation, I grant my heartfelt thank to him. Thank you sir. Now , I am an advanced mapper. I am very happy to share my achievement with you all. In this period, I am working with “El-Nino 2023 Early Warning and Anticipatory Action” project.

To start editing OSM, a new user needs to go through a cluttered registration form.

At the same time, vandals easily register thousands of new accounts.

One vandal with an army of bots can paralyze the work of hundreds of mappers in an instant.

At the same time, only the gradual careful work of one person can correctly correct a damaged map.

The project is 19 years old, it’s time to grow up.

I have just realised I should have been adding ‘survey’ as a source in basically all my edits over the last week or so.

I’ve been using RapidEditor to create buildings, matching them with my notes as I walk around exploring my new neighbourhood.

Hello body crown and nice lovely family with me working and I need good women look after my family members also mine minds need help someone to explain and reconstruction everything out please. I’m here in England Birmingham and Scotland Glasgow and Walsh I need go Ireland for new year’s gifts for any help to my parliament members.

After an unfortunate setback in 2020 the 14th in-person State of the Map conference will be held in Africa for the first time, underlining OSM’s status as a truly global map. Long may our commitment to going round the world to experience what we are mapping continue.

I’ve never heard complaints from the many people who attended Foss4g and the HOT summit in Dar es Salaam and I am confident that Nairobi can be a similar success.

About Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in southwestern Uganda. It’s renowned for its exceptional biodiversity, most notably being home to approximately half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population. Here are some key points about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park:

Location

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park is situated in the southwestern part of Uganda, near the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda.

Mountain Gorillas

Uganda is one of only three countries in the world where you will find mountain gorillas. One of the main attractions of the park is its population of endangered mountain gorillas. The park is home to about half of the world’s remaining mountain gorilla population, making it one of the best places to go gorilla trekking.

Gorilla Trekking in Uganda

Gorilla trekking is a popular activity in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Visitors have the opportunity to embark on guided hikes to observe and spend a limited time with these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. It’s an experience that offers wonder, adventure and conservation insights.

Permit Requirements to Trek Gorillas in Uganda

To go gorilla trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, visitors need to obtain a permit. A permit costs $700 per person to track gorillas. Only licensed tour operators like Kwezi Outdoors can secure gorilla tracking permits. These permits are limited to a certain number per day to minimize the impact on the gorillas and their habitat.

Biodiversity in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

The park covers an area of about 331 square kilometers and is characterized by its lush, dense montane rainforest. It’s home to a wide variety of wildlife, including over 120 species of mammals, several species of primates, and around 350 species of birds. This park is considered one of the best bird watching destinations in Uganda and Africa. Kwezi Outdoors operates bird watching safaris to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Our birding safaris offer the option to go gorilla trekking.

Cultural Significance of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

The park is also significant culturally, as it is inhabited by the Batwa pygmies, who are indigenous forest dwellers. The park’s management strives to balance conservation efforts with the rights and well-being of local communities. The communities get 20 percent of the revenue from the park. So, every time you visit Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, you contribute to the betterment of the communities. The funds are used to promote education, health and other community programs.

Accommodation in Bwindi

The park offers a range of accommodations, from luxury lodges to budget-friendly options, to cater to the needs of various types of travelers.

Conservation Tourism in Bwindi

At Kwezi Outdoors we share a love and respect for the great outdoors and wild places of Uganda. Yet even though we are passionate about the outdoors, we know that there are negative environmental impacts that can stem from our travel and explorations. That is why we support a variety of initiatives that economically and socially empower communities; promote the dignity and honour of the locals; and participate in the ongoing fight to save and improve our planet in whatever small way we can.

Are you planning a visit? Get in touch with a safari consultant at Kwezi Outdoors for the most up-to-date information regarding permits, accommodations, and any travel advisories. You can also request for your free no obligations safari quote to guide you in the safari planning.

Hello everyone, I am here again with the 5th Blog of my journey as an Outreachy intern. For those who don’t know me , I am Neelima Mohanty , selected as an Outreachy intern at Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOTOSM) for the May to August Cohort. If you are new to my blog then make sure you read my previous Outreachy Blogs before going through this blog post.

This is the second last week of my Outreachy internship and I almost feel like I am a part of the HOT Community or in other words I feel like I know many members of HOT already. Apart from my mentors Rob Savoye and Petya Kangalova , the list of members whom I know are Kshitij Raj Sharma , Omran Najjar , Susmina Manandhar and Sam Woodcock . Informal chats with all these people made me more familiar with this community. Let me introduce all of them with you and what I have learnt from the informal chats with them.

Kshitij and Omran are part of the dev team for fAIr project of HOT . I learnt a lot from each one of them about backend and frontend of that project and understood their work to implement AI in the process of mapping .

I already have written about my interaction with Sam Woodcock in my 2nd Blog . But that was how we came to know each other for the first time . Whereas when I got selected as an Intern , he sent me a message introducing himself and told me that he would like to help me in my technical documentation work in FMTM if I face any issues . Then I came to know that he had been volunteering for FMTM since a long time.

And finally and very recently I met with Susmina Manandhar from Nepal who work as an Associate Project Manager at NAXA one of the partners of HOT . We together worked for two weeks and prepared the Lightning Talk Video of the FMTM project for Code for All summit. While in these two weeks , we met almost everyday and not just talked about work but she also shared about herself and her University days .

How can I miss the part that every week when I meet with my mentors we always talk about a lot stuff which is informal like Open source conferences , work opportunities and even about coffee 😊. In fact Petya and Rob are the ones who gave me the opportunity to speak in the Lightning Talk at Code for All Summit which is a evidence our Informal chats.

Muss ich jetzt auf Google Maps umsteigen? Ich finde in der PC-Version nicht die Möglichkeit, gezielt Campingplätze anzuzeigen. Es fehlt das sogenannte Burgermenü. Wenn ich als Suchbegriff “Campingplatz” eingebe und vorher mühevoll mein Zielgebiet herausgezoomt habe, werde ich mit dem ersten Treffer mit der Nase irgendwo bei Würzburg aufgeprallt und muss mühevoll wieder die Gegend aufzoomen. Usability ist wohl hier ein Fremdwort. Es muss immer möglich sein, “auf dem angezeigten Kartengebiet” zu suchen und die Ergebnisse als Position grafisch anzuzeigen. Denn das brauche ich meist, wenn ich mit Karte arbeite.
