Editor's Notes
- UN Mappers have an amazing Leaderboard wikipage in which both overall and per-user statistics are reported and showed. Join our efforts and be among the most active mappers! At the time of speaking, the UN Mappers community counts more than 800 contributors and contributed to OpenStreetMap a total of more than two million and five hundred thousand map changes. Leaderboard and statistics are available both from a global point of view and a per-country level, displaying the best mappers of every country. Every month the contributors which mapped the most are showcased in our UN Mappers community website!
- In order to further engage with the OpenStreetMap community, Unite Maps created UN Mappers, a network of different communities ranging from UN personnel on the field, like GIS groups, offices, military and police, to academia, involving highschools and universities, including also OpenStreetMap local communities, Non Governative Organisations and any remote volunteer in the world. Unite Maps is providing different social and educational activities to volunteers coming from diverse backgrounds. As an example, during summer 2019, UN Mappers hosted 2 months of OpenStreetMap training activities both in English and French with the personnel on the field of 3 UN Peacekeeping missions: UNSOS, MINUSCA, MONUSCO. In spring 2019, UN Mappers organised educational activities with kids from an highschool. Furthermore, many social events are hosted, ranging from mapping hackathons (the so called mapathons) to remote connections with distant communities, logo contests et cetera.
- Among UN Mappers activities, we have notably the organisation and maintenance of Tasking Manager mapping projects hosted on the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team platform, in which remote contributors can easily access the mapping areas and edit data in a collaborative fashion, by tracing topographic feature geometries on highly resoluted satellite imagery through the help of OpenStreetMap editors. Among the mapping activities, UN Mappers are organising also imports of UN geospatial data into OpenStreetMap, in accordance with community consensus and import rules. Furthermore, we are providing educational and training documentation on OpenStreetMap, in different languages, hosted in the dedicated Unite Maps Learning Hub. Also, some editing guidelines have been put in place to show how the different topographic features look like in the different countries of interest. All the crowdsourced OpenStreetMap data is continuously validated by our team and remote mappers are taught the good way to go on with correct mapping. We engage with the community through the principal social media and the UN Mappers community website. If you want to take part on our activities, just add #UNMappers to your OpenStreetMap changeset comments: this will allow you to be displayed in the UN Mappers crowdsourcing statistics and to directly contribute to the peacekeeping activities of UN missions.

- We opened Tasking Manager projects in 4 different countries supporting 4 different UN Peacekeeping missions: MINUSCA in Central African Republic; MINUSMA in Mali; MONUSCO in Democratic Republic of the Congo; UNSOS in Somalia. In every project you will find some important points in topographic data editing in OpenStreetMap to help you get started with our projects. Among the imports of UN data, we are currently undergoing a crowdsourced import of waterways data from UNSOS in Southern Somalia. The project is open only to advanced mappers, as the import activity is more complex than normal armchair mapping.
