Fwd from Silke: TransforMap Global Mapping Month and update / Taxonomy

Dear MMM/TransforMap mailing lists, forwarding a message from Silke sent to global(a)lists.14mmm.org. Due to disclosure of multiple private mail addresses, it sould not be delivered. See below. -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: global post from silke.helfrich(a)gmx.de requires approval Datum: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 20:10:23 +0100 As list administrator, your authorization is requested for the following mailing list posting: List: global(a)lists.14mmm.org From: silke.helfrich(a)gmx.de Subject: Re: TransforMap Global Mapping Month and update / Taxonomy Reason: Too many recipients to the message -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Re: TransforMap Global Mapping Month and update / Taxonomy Datum: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 20:09:50 +0100 Von: Silke Helfrich <silke.helfrich(a)gmx.de> ALERT: @transforMappers: If there are mistakes in the following message, please correct me! + at the very end, there is some new information re. the partners for the intl. testmapping ISSUE: WHERE ARE WE AT WITH TRANFORMAP AND THE TESTMAPPING Dear all, first of all: amis québecois, I am so sorry for the delay, I have been involved in too many processes lately, but as far as TransforMap is concerned the reason for the delay in informing You, our international peers and (hopefully) co-mappers, is a really good one: First of all, we've managed to set up sth. like an initial governance structure: http://blog.14mmm.org/transformap-has-a-working-structure-and-its-wild/ That is; we went through an internal process of urgently needed f2f conversations and decision making and are now able to divide the myriad of tasks more swiftly. And secondly: we made a proposal to the European Union within their CHEST project : http://www.chest-project.eu/ Tatataaaa, we were pre-selected, meaning that now everybody is overly busy with preparing the documents for the final selection process, this would help us to finance especially the programming and the coordination work for the next year and beyond. Moreover we have been preparing the test-mapping process and tools + the partnerships to go international, for instance with Shareable in the US. All of us are very aware of the fact that we urgently need some basic information in English, and we will work on that as soon as we get two funding proposals (the one to the EU and another one) off desk. We are already working on it: http://discourse.transformap.co/t/self-description-of-transformap/164 Now; where are we at with the taxonomy and with the testmapping? Taxonomy: We've FINALLY made our decisions about the three most important category-groups: That is: - needs ---> ready for translation into French, Finish and many other languages (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:KartenKarsten/futureMap#Needs_fulf… - mode of interaction ---> ready for translation into French, Finish and many other languages https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:KartenKarsten/futureMap#Mode_of_In… - self-description of the community ----> we made the final decisions, that is: We know know which tribes we wanna start with, but we still need to finish the short descriptions in English (so, it is not yet ready for translation) Here are "the tribes"; https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:KartenKarsten/futureMap#Self-descr… As you can easily see: this is a project of CONVERGENCE; it cannot be otherwise. So, while we work together on TransforMap we enact TAPAs (There Are Plenty of Alternatives) and we network in real life (instead of only talking about the need to network) It is important to note that for TranforMap (not for OSM of course), the self-identification with one of these OR OTHER communities will be mandatory; I can explain this later. But this is the only way to - at the end - generate a global map, where we can make "all commons" visible, or "all solidarity economy projects" or simply "all TAPAs"- more on this later (because this only applies to the TransforMap layer, not for OSM (as we don't control the handling of categories, tags and data on OSM. We are also collecting the so called "Points of Interest", as this is sth. the common mapper (and user) is very interested in. TOOLS: Making the decisions about the taxonomy has been key for programming the testmapping tools, and again... it took us a while to get everything done. But now we have two options. - the first one is to collect data via our TRANSFORTESTIONAIRE: https://docs.google.com/a/getactive.org/forms/d/16LpwkNrL9YtX2-UknMO1M8k0_w… All tags are updated to the current state of the taxonomy! You can use it RIGHT NOW, the only BUT is, that data will be collected and need to be transferred manually to OSM later, but it helps us to get the testmapping done and get feedback on the Taxonomy, - the second is, that our programmers (some magic is in there, I swear you), are about to finish a prototype for the online testmapping (needing a few more days) and that the current state of the taxonomy finally allows to work on the official and user friendly entry mask. So; If you wanna start testmapping right now: GO FOR IT and use our transfortestionaire, If you wanna wait for another tool, bear with us. TESTMAPPING: You might not be surprised that giving the huzzle and buzzle in the whole process we finally decided that we will move the testmapping days to a testmapping month, that is MAY 2015 According to your advice, dear friends in Canada, we suggest to organize testmappings at a few spots, that is: wide and exhaustive testmappings in 5 or 6 cities in different regions/continents instead of a bit of testmapping everywhere. THEREFORE WE NEED YOU SUPPORT! Our ideas for the moment: please focus on a selected place/ city or rural region) USA - Partner: Shareable (please focus on a Canada - Partner: REmix the Commons/ OSM Montreal/ Others -> I guess it will be Montreal FRANCE - Partner: ? - there will be certainly a wonderful opportunity at the Ouishare -Fest AUSTRIA - Partner: OSM Graz/ ELEVATE/ OTHERS: -> Graz GERMANY - Partner: Anstiftung/Ertomis and Others mainly TransforMappers --> Munich and/or Berlin FINLAND - http://www.commons.fi/ -> selected place in Finland The list is open! We now need to start the global conversation about the testmapping and can use our global mmm list for it (the one I am cceing); at the same time we are trying to get some funds for the test-mapping process. PLEASE REGISTER THERE - if you are interested in the process - if you need follow-up information - if you can contribute sth (proposals/ translations/ partnership for testmapping/ whatever idea and resources) If I forgot to respond to any of your questions, I will be happy to do so asap. Please forgive me that I won't re-read and correct my e-mail, but I still have to phone conferences waiting for me tonight :-) Many, many thanks for all the support you've provided so far Silke for the TransforMappers in Germany and Austria > > @Silke : > > Does the Global Mapping Day of Marsh 6th and 7th confirmed ? Do you have > any material we can use to promote and mobilize people there ? Thanks > for your information. > > Best > Fred >

TransforMap Taxonomy V1.0 ready 2 go 4 global testmap + translations
by Silke Helfrich 09 Mar '15

09 Mar '15

Dear all, finally, after a year of discussions on how the INITIAL TransforMap Taxonomy might look like the "badgers", aka Taxonomy Team of Transformap, proudly present version1.0. of 3 category groups - Needs fulfilled by a community - Self-Description of a community - Mode of interaction (except the items we've put on the watchlist) These (and only these) categories are now ready to be... - presented to the Open Street Map community (Michael and Silke will care for) - translated into other Languages (@Diane; this is a GO! @Ruby if you wish to work on a Finish version, go for it...) - the basis for the global testmapping we are about to launch during the Mapping Month May (mmm) and therefore They are: - the basis for the entry mask Michael Vesely and/or Daniel Janz are about to share with us - as well as the basis for the TransforMap testionnaire, all of you can use https://docs.google.com/a/getactive.org/forms/d/16LpwkNrL9YtX2-UknMO1M8k0_w… Please NOTE: the data is ONLY up to date in our OSM Wiki (NOT in the ethercalc) and it is ONLY UP TO DATE IN ENGLISH, NOT in German. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/TransforMap#Needs_ful… We will soon integrate a few examples as this facilitates the process of beeing accepted by OSM. Any questions regarding the use of the taxonomy, please let me know. The launch of the testmapping will follow soon, I guess. All the best Silke for the badgers @Michael; if I forgot sth. important, please reply simply to this e-mail. @international colleagues: as I am not sure who has subscribed the global mmm list, I've put a few adresses in here, please make sure you subscribe to avoid crosspostings

Gute Nachrichten; Full Circle Foundation -> Mapping Month May / testmapping coordination
by Silke Helfrich 28 Feb '15

28 Feb '15

Liebe Leute, in den letzten Tagen haben einige von uns recht intensiv an einem Projektvorschlag für die Full Circle Foundation mit Sitz in Hongkong gearbeitet. (:-) :-) immer wieder toll, was wir gemeinsam alles hinkriegen) Manche werden sicher erinnern. Der Vertreter, John Fellowes, hatte unsere Performance in Leipzig erlebt, aus verschiedenen Richtungen gute Referenzen bekommen und uns daher den Vorschlag gemacht, etwas einzureichen. Am Naheliegendsten war, die Testmapping-Phase vorzuschlagen (da abgrenzbar und klein genug, zudem würde uns das die Möglichkeit geben, internationale Partner im testmapping zu unterstützen) Es gibt drei Dinge, die hier wichtig sind. 1. Transparenz herstellen. Wir werden 12.000 Euro beantragen in 4 verschiedenen Kategorien (siehe Seite 5 des Anhangs -> das ist der Entwurf. Dient nur Eurer Information; fertige Fassung wird online dokumentiert) Wer konkret was tut und wie unterstützt werden kann, muss geklärt werden, sobald der Prozess beginnt. Wir sollten bald beginnen, das Testmapping zu koordinieren, denn nun ist ja jeden Tag mit der Eingabemaske zu rechnen (wenn ich das richtig verstehe) und wenn nicht haben wir noch das testionnaire. Wer mit von der Partie sein will, melde sich bitte hier: auf der Testmapping Karte im Trello https://trello.com/b/Sd49Kgvf/dates-networking (notfalls bei mir per mail) 2. Die derzeitige Liste möglicher internationaler Partner für das Testmapping. Das ist bestimmt für alle ganz interessant. Schaut mal auf Seite 4. Da seht ihr, wie gut wir "schon aufgestellt" sind. Hier wäre es gut, wenn wir je eine Person finden, die je einen Partner "betreut". 3. Die Full Circle Foundation verteilt ihre Mittel anonym und bedingungslos, nicht bedingungslos in dem Sinne, dass kein Bericht zu schreiben wäre, aber in dem Sinne, dass sie nicht genannt werden möchte und keine politischen Vorgaben macht. Anders gesagt: so ganz genau werden wir nicht erfahren, was die Quelle des Geldes ist, die insbesondere tiefenökologischen Projekten zu Gute kommt (insofern sind wir fast schon eine Ausnahme). Wir hatten das in Leipzig bereits diskutiert und für akzeptabel befunden. Soviel für heute, Der Antrag geht in Kürze raus, die Entscheidung ist offen, aber zumindest der mit uns in Kontakt stehende Mitarbeiter ist sehr wohlwollend. Drückt alle die Daumen. Herzliche Grüße GEnießt das Wochenende Silke

Essential read on digital social innovation

Fellow transformappers, I believe this is an essential read to understand the wider context of digital social innovation in Europe (of which we're part of) and current discussion at EU level (funding, policy). http://www.nesta.org.uk/publications/growing-digital-social-innovation-ecos… Wishing you a good read! -- Adrien Labaeye +49 176 3810 8605 | Skype ID: adrien.labaeye | Twitter: @alabaeye | transitionlab.de c/o Thinkfarm Berlin | Oranienstraße 183 | 10999 Berlin | (3.

Mapping Month May - listing local test mappings
by Adrien Labaeye 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi everyone, So we've started our preparations the Mapping Month May! (ie. testing the TransforMap taxonomy by organizing local test mapping) Yes you've noticed, it's been moved from March to May so we can use the editor for the test of our taxonomy model with three categories (needs, self-description of community, modes of interaction). More about those categories here: https://wiki.openstreetmp.aorg/wiki/Proposed_features/TransforMap If you want to start earlier as planned, you can always used our online questionnaire: https://docs.google.com/a/getactive.org/forms/d/16LpwkNrL9YtX2-UknMO1M8k0_w… We are currently in the process of elaborating a proposal for funding with the Full Circle Foundation for the coordination of the Mapping Month. The official is to see by the end of May a test mapping (with or questionnaire or with the in development editor) happening in at least 5 local communities on 3 continents. Here <https://text.allmende.io/p/MappingMonthMay_Local_Events>is* the current list of local test mappings that we would like to see happen.* *Are there some missing? Add your local test mapping there <https://text.allmende.io/p/MappingMonthMay_Local_Events>! *We don't necessarily want so many, we want some who would map around a 100 points (local initiatives) and provide feedback on the taxonomy (categories for local initiatives). There could be some funding to support that, but nothin is sure at the moment. If you have questions, suggestions, log in in our forum platform and post it here: http://discourse.transformap.co/t/mapping-month-may/174 or ping us on twitter @transformap Looking forward! (it's chaotic, please bear with us, we're all doing this on our free time at the moment [?] ) All the best, -- Adrien Labaeye +49 176 3810 8605 | Skype ID: adrien.labaeye | Twitter: @alabaeye | transitionlab.de c/o Thinkfarm Berlin | Oranienstraße 183 | 10999 Berlin | (3.

Treffen mit Code4Munich
by Daniel Janz 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Servus Transformap, ich war heute bei den Leuten von Code4Munich und wollte mal schauen ob man dort nicht Mitstreiter für Transformap finden könnte. Heute ging dort nicht viel, da ich mehr oder weniger in die Planung für einen Hackathon am 21.02 in München zum Thema OpenData geplatzt bin (http://www.meetup.com/OK-Lab-Munchen/events/219873019/ , Übrigens auch gleichzeitig der Launch des OpenData Portals der Stadt München.). Allerdings hatte das den Effekt, dass Transformap jetzt zumindest schonmal auf der Liste der möglichen Projekte zum Hackathon gelandet ist. An dem Hackathon werde ich selbstverständlich teilnehmen und dort versuchen ein paar Leute dafür zu begeistern. Ich werde versuchen, mich in der nächsten Woche mal mit David (ouishare) zusammenzusetzten und evtl. einen kurzen Pitch vorzubereiten. Wenn jemand bereits Material für sowas hat, immer her damit! Grüße, Danie
