Now: there&#8217;s a new mailing list [http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ps: register at talk-ps@openstreetmap.org] for people who want to get involved in mapping in Gaza and the West Bank. They&#8217;re still looking for people with direct knowledge of Gaza to join in the editing process. A particular note for me:
In the process, agencies like UNOSAT and EC JRC [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Only joking &#8211; intelligent design theory is a truckle of incoherent hand-waving. What I meant to say, of course, is that we need to be thinking about better design when it comes to information products, particularly maps. Last week Rich Treves tried to destroy my self-confidence by posting a picture which is invisible to people [...]]]></description>

Not content with walking the walk, they&#8217;re also talking the talk with the publication of a Field Guide to Humanitarian Mapping [pdf  3.1MB]. A practical guide for aid workers, it focuses on free resources to produce basic maps &#8211; [...]]]></description>

Their analysis of postwar damage in Georgia was very interesting1 and now they&#8217;re producing [...]]]></description>

Streaming video is a bit of a non-starter on my shonky internet connection, but both of these guys have an interesting take on the sector. They&#8217;re both technology evangelists, but minus the utopianism that makes my fists itch. A platform like Where2.0 is fantastic [...]]]></description>

MapAction and BrightEarth both feature in an article in the Independent entitled &#8220;Mapping the disaster zones&#8221; &#8211; how they think up the intensely creative titles for these articles, I just don&#8217;t know.
