Update: this demo of RapiD is apparently just an experiment on integration with #Microsoft building datasets -- they aren't #Facebook ML building detections. 😶

The #OpenStreetMap mapping community in the #Philippines is embarking on another #tabangAI project, this time hoping to complete the roads of #Siquijor province, collaborating with locals and the Lazi local government! We hope for extra 👐 and 👀 to contribute to the local map using the #RapiDeditor

In #sotmUS right now, #Facebook is demo-ing building detections:

Done with another round of #MapaTime socialization with university froshies, that introduced them to basics of improving #OpenStreetMap. From #Mapillary verification, #Pic4Review validation, and OSM integration through #MapRoulette. They also learned how to use iD and #RapiD for various mapping efforts of the community in the #Philippines.

Many thanks to the continuing support of #KaartGroup, the #PUPSanJuan administration, and our hard-working #CWTS++ volunteers.

Maning Sambale shared their #tabangAI notes for the #Philippines #OpenStreetMap effort to map using #rapid editor, that showed a 36% increase in the roads of #Camiguin province.

There are many ways to contribute to #OpenStreetMap, and this group of young #GeoLadies are obviously having fun, while they're at it.

The #Mapillary pedestrian crossing validation task is helping to improve the routing for #pedestrians, safety and #mobility in our region. Check it out: https://pygy.co/bUC

Volunteers from #pupsjcwts are continuing their contributions to the Lupang Arenda community mapping tasks during #MapaTime: https://tasks.hotosm.org/6228

Meanwhile, in the #OpenStreetMap in Asia Telegram channel, somebody from #Facebook reported that they're wrapping up their #mapwithai road mapping efforts in #Indonesia and are planning to start in #Malaysia soon.

Somebody from #Thailand inquired whether they have plans to do follow-up on cleaning data imports FB has done in the past.

#OpenStreetMap tip for roof modelling: When mapping buildings, try to remember that we're trying to map the base of the building (footprint), and not the shape of the roof itself.

Has your local #OpenStreetMap community adopted any systematic strategies to deal with unresolved notes?
