Introduction to GIS Software: QGIS
map kibera
1. trace the roads using aerial imagery
2. use GPS to collect point data and correct roads
"In the intense density of Kibera, selecting which features are 'important' is a judgment call and a matter of interest."
Map Kibera Blog
4. map those themes
Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT)
HOT in coordination with:
1. pre-typhoon (November 7), get the base map up-to-speed
2. post-typhoon (November 13), use new aerial imagery to try to assess damage
using it on the ground
- print maps
- exports for GPS receivers
how does the data get there?
imports
aerial imagery
GPS
Field Papers
Field Papers
"a tool to help you create a multi-page atlas of anywhere in the world"
fieldpapers.org
(aside) btw, Field Papers is not just for OSM
"We enlisted people to go to stops, measure traffic and count people getting off and on and we hired bike messengers to see where the buses went..."
source
"... The cyclists used Field Papers to transcribe the various routes and what they found out, which we recompiled back into a database of trips, stops, companies and frequency."

(end of aside)
get data in OSM:
- imports (but don't)
- online editor, using aerial imagery
- GPS
- Field Papers
if you want your data to be useful, you should try to be consistent with the community
look around for similar features, mimic those
