Hello, my name is Janeth Mwakisole and I’m from Tanzania.

I had the opportunity to attend the State of the Map Africa conference in Yaounde, Cameroon from 30th November to 2nd December 2023. This conference was about celebrating and showcasing the culture of open mapping in Africa. I learned a lot about the significance of open mapping in supporting sustainable community development. One of the crucial things I grasped is the value of data-based decision-making. Open data is a dependable and efficient tool, especially in communities that have limited resources. By utilizing open mapping and the information it provides, communities can make well-informed decisions that optimize their scarce resources and contribute to long-term progress.

One of the things I found particularly interesting was how open mapping can contribute to climate resilience because it is related to my career background. I also learned about waste management and how it can be improved through open mapping. Of course, there are a lot of things to share, and I have mentioned only a few of them.

During the conference, I met and connected with people from different countries in Africa and worldwide. For example, I met Geoffrey Katerrega from Uganda, Kennedy Jomokela, and Charles Chifulya from Zambia, and many more from Cameroon and other parts of the world.

I had the opportunity to moderate and participate in the panels at the conference, which was a completely new experience. I’m grateful for the chance I was given, and I believe, through what I have learned at the conference, I’ll be able to make fruitful impacts in my community and further develop my career.

Today I participated in the training on road classification where I gained additional knowledge on different types of road classification in Java OpenStreetMap (JOSM).training@hotosm.org

To odejście od edukacji opartej o rzetelną wiedzę naukową nie dotyczy wyłącznie teorii ewolucji, czy nauczania biologii. Potrzebny jest audyt podstaw nauczania wszystkich przedmiotów, podstaw programowych i podręczników.

At present, farming_system is used in Nepal to mark bari and khet , referring to specific farming practices in the area. I am proposing to use this tag with jhum to mark farmland in NE India / Myanmar where traditional jhum shifting cultivation (slash-and-burn farming) is practiced.

These are fields which are essentially permanent farmland, but which are left to re-wild for some years before being used again. Contrary to some beliefs about the method, the entirety of the jungle is not used for this type of farming. Instead, it is always the same fields that the communities cycle between.

Expansion of this tag to include jhum could enable greater tracking of such fields as part of ongoing scientific analyses of this methods of farming and their impact on the environment. Use of the farming_system tag does not affect rendering, or interfere with any other tags. As farming_system is already in wide use in Nepal but otherwise unused, it is the ideal option for tagging jhum land use.

Władza PiS-u kończy się kabaretowym rządem, który za dwa dni stanie się jedynie historyczną ciekawostką.

Kończy się smutne osiem lat niszczenia polskich aspiracji, kończy się Budapeszt w Warszawie. Po władzy PiS-u pozostaną różnego rodzaju głębokie rany oraz bastiony bezprawia takie jak magisterski Trybunał. Społeczeństwo obywatelskie okazało się jednak silniejsze. Nie udało się wyrzucić Polski z Europy. Będzie trudno naprawić osiem lat spędzonych z własnego wyboru na kolanach w roli egzotycznego pariasa i klienta potęg, ale wracamy, aby znów współkształtować Europę i odgrywać w niej rolę na miarę Rzeczypospolitej.

Wszystkim Koderom, którzy wytrwali przez te osiem lat, trzeba pogratulować wielkiego zwycięstwa. Bez nas by go nie było – mimo różnych sporów, polskich słabości i przywar trapiących nasz ruch. Bo kiedy się wydawało, że dyktatura zagnieździ się na dobre, nie porzuciliśmy nadziei. A nasza nadzieja nie była ani krucha, ani marna.

Penonome is a city lacking infrastructure in the center & historical sections, where most of the foot traffic happens. On the other end, there are bustling new malls and neighborhoods that cater to those who drive on the interamerican highway.

This ‘small town’ is set to grow well over 100,000 people in population and is starting to seem crowded. The rural communities that head North and Northeast are gems that is rarely visited by foreign tourists.

Another year, another Pista ng Mapa 2023 in Tacloban City!

Hosted by UP Visayas Tacloban YouthMappers, it’s a gathering celebrating open mapping, data, and an unforgettable journey. I am grateful to the organizing team for the scholarship grant and the chance to present. Thank you, UP Tacloban Youthmappers, for the warm welcome and for keeping our surroundings pristine.

The conference was a three-day journey packed with eye-opening lightning talks. From Leanne Caye D. Obispo’s “Data: A Story to Tell” to Sir Denrazir Atara’s spatial analysis of tree species, each session was a revelation. Erika Del Rosario Pauline Jen Madrona’s drone training and Oriel Jay Ibañez’s insights on community development through drone imaging were inspiring. Sir Ben Hur Pintor’s discourse on data management and Ms. Dinnah Feye Andal’s introduction to Mapillary were eye-openers. And oh, the endless field trip—such a blast! where I can say I shall return to Tacloban

Meeting old friends, making new ones on social nights, connecting with mentors again like Sir Mikko Tamura, Ms. Feye Andal, Leigh Lunas, Sir Ben Hur, and Sir Aimon, and connecting with the local YouthMappers chapters were a highlight! This was my 2nd Pista ng Mapa 2023, a great adventure with a small team with Dora (Me), yet the knowledge gained, networks built, and friendships forged were beyond measure. Here’s to hoping next year brings even more from our chapter.

I look forward to creating new memories and deepening my mapping passion at the next Pista ng Mapa (also SotM, manifesting!). Huge thanks to everyone who made this event an unforgettable experience!

Czy wypędzenie ludności na podstawie kryteriów etnicznych i religijnych, następnie rozproszenie jej po kraju, aby się zasymilowała, a na koniec zatarcie materialnych śladów jej istnienia nie są zbrodnią? Pokrywa się to całkowicie ze sformułowaną przez Rafała Lemkina definicją ludobójstwa (które wcale nie wymaga mordów, żeby być ludobójstwem).

Instytut Pamięci Narodowej i jego prokuratorzy są innego zdania. Właśnie teraz postanowili umorzyć śledztwo w sprawie akcji „Wisła”. Okazuje się, że mieszkańcy tamtych terenów sami chcieli być deportowani, a wszystko odbyło się superhumanitarnie. Po prostu państwo zorganizowało ludziom wycieczkę.

W polskiej literaturze akcja „Wisła” jest dobrze opisana, w tym przez pracujących w IPN historyków. Organizując wysiedlenia, kierowano się kryteriami etnicznymi i religijnymi. Zniszczono kulturę Łemków i Bojków w Bieszczadach. Pisałem już tu kiedyś o moich wrażeniach z Wańkowej. Po siedmiuset domach została tam samotna studnia pośrodku łąki. Wyrwano nawet drzewa owocowe, żeby po pierwotnych mieszkańcach nie został ślad. Ciekaw jestem, czy w przypadku podobnych działań przeciwko Polakom IPN także nie dopatrzyłby się przestępstwa.

Chciałbym w końcu móc przestać się wstydzić za działania mojego państwa. Tymczasem IPN kompromituje Polskę na płaszczyźnie prawa i w obszarze pamięci. Zamiast dbać o pamięć, stał się wyrazicielem mitów i powielarnią kłamstw PRL. Zbyt wiele jednak przeprowadzono badań, zbyt wiele napisano książek o akcji „Wisła”. Prawda jest znana. Decyzja IPN jest zatem jakąś kolejną hucpą, mającą wywołać konflikt z Ukrainą. Podobnie jak protest na granicy.

Niechże ten rząd wreszcie odejdzie. Już czas, bo każdy dzień tej władzy szkodzi polskiemu państwu i jego pozycji.

PS Blokada granicy, zadająca coraz większe straty walczącej Ukrainie, trwa w najlepsze. Państwo zawodzi na całej linii.

Auf zu neuen Wegen

Ich bin neu hier und versuche mal alles zu erforschen. Bin aus Wien Österreich Europa. Liebe Grüsse an die Community

Hello, i’m maplemoths. This is my first diary entry, and i decided it’d be fun to discuss OSM topics occasionally here.

What have i been mapping recently?

I’ve been doing tons more mapping recently, because it’s pretty fun. It’s nice to just listen to music/twitch stream vods, and just map. Here’s what i’ve mapped recently.

Hawai’i

Most recently, i’ve been mapping in Hawai’i. A large amount of my edits actually are in Hawai’i in general, because i used to live there. Specifically, i’ve mostly been editing in the city i lived in, Hilo. When i first started mapping in i believe September of 2022, Hilo’s map quality wasn’t super good. Lots of missing landuse or POIs, lots of stuff that was all offset from eachother, the polygons were really messy, etc. But, i feel like there’s been tons of progress! I’ve been working on making things better, and there’s been some progress from others. There’s been more landuse, i cleaned up lots of the messy/incorrect polygons, and i’ve also micromapped the zoo right outside of the city, but i’ve also done some other stuff in the area.

Plains, Georgia

A lot of times, i map an area because something interesting has happened there, or that it’s significant for an interesting reason. Examples include me mapping Oleona in Pennsylvania because the area was the site of a small failed Norwegian colony, and yes, Plains, Georgia. It’s a small little town right in the south of Georgia that’s famous for being the hometown of US president Jimmy Carter, so i decided to map it! I mostly did landuse and cleanup, and it was quite fun! If you’re wondering, i did not map the town because of Rosalynn Carter’s death, i started the project a month earlier but only finished it after.

What do i plan to do next?

This section is for stuff i want to get to, and maybe i can get some help on if you want!

More Hawai’i

I still have much to do in Hawai’i. My main focuses currently are on landuse, POIs, some micromapping, and a lot of polygon cleanup. The interior of the Big Island has much work that i want to help with, mostly natural stuff. The Hawai’i Volcanoes national park also has some work i’d like to do, mostly natural landuse and trails.

Pueblo, Colorado

I live in Pueblo, so it’s natural i want to do mapping here. I’ve done plenty already, but i have some goals. Pueblo does not have many homes mapped, which i would like to do even though it’ll take a long time. There’s also some landuse that should be done. Once imagery updates, i’d like to micromap some of the new school buildings that have opened recently but aren’t displayed on imagery yet. These schools are Chavez Huerta K-12 Preparatory Academy’s recent new school buildings, Centennial High School’s new building, and East High School’s new building.

Monterey, California

When i went there, i loved it. So, i want to do more mapping of the city! I’ve already done some landuse and micromapping of the college, but i’d like to do more.

More outside of the USA

Most of my edits are in the USA, but i’d like to do more worldwide edits. If anyone knows some countries that are undermapped, i’d like to see what they are!

Goodbye!

That’s the end of the entry, for now. is there anything that catches your attention about my post, or any questions or help? I’d love to have some! I will post more occasionally. Goodbye, have a great day! :3
