13:59:50 <russdeffner> Ok, chime in anytime if you're here for the AWG
14:00:07 <russdeffner> If it's just me, I'll be documenting some announcements and moving on
14:00:28 <russdeffner> #topic Unfinished Business
14:01:31 <russdeffner> Trello is here if anyone is following along: https://trello.com/b/ogU4Wjd6/hot-activation-wg
14:01:40 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> i;m here just had to top up my coffee
14:01:49 <russdeffner> Hi Matt
14:01:54 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> morning Russ
14:02:10 <russdeffner> I think some progress has been made on a few of the unfinished items from last time
14:02:40 <russdeffner> Saw some notices that the gitbooks content site was updated by Blake, so hopefully that means content copy/paste is underway
14:03:54 <russdeffner> And know Nate has been busy, but was looking into the imagery stuff for Eua Island, Tonga as well as the more general Imagery Coordination issues
14:04:24 <russdeffner> So we'll probably just 'float' the same unfinished business next time/untill we hear from them
14:04:43 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> awesome. I did archive a couple of the old Bangladesh floods projects and updated their wiki. Reached out to Ribin but haven't heard back
14:05:04 <russdeffner> ok, great
14:05:08 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> also found some old Hurricane Matthew projects that didn't need to be published anymore either
14:05:55 <russdeffner> that was my next item, I think we've done an ok job of archiving/closing the other old activations; but of course, more eyes/time might find a few more bits loose out there
14:06:35 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> also re-raised for me the search functionality issue of the TM
14:06:53 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> I know that's already been raised a few times
14:07:35 <russdeffner> Yes, do you want to spend a little time making sure it has been logged in github issues?
14:07:49 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> yeah, I'll check in on that in a bit/sometime this weekend
14:08:15 <russdeffner> I mean, we could do that now; or just on our own and come back to it next time if needed?
14:08:37 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> could probably address things as well through a standardization of project names moving forward. I don't know what that looks like at the moment, but an idea to float
14:09:14 <russdeffner> Ok, I think also the TechWG was going to/has done some TM specific meetings, so that might be the better venue
14:10:03 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> :thumbsup::skin-tone-2:
14:10:06 <russdeffner> but definitely would/should come back around to TM project manager on-boarding/training
14:10:42 <russdeffner> so actually, let me document this as a topic/action...
14:10:55 <russdeffner> #topic Tasking Manager Improvements
14:11:26 <russdeffner> #idea Need to address search functionality and project naming in the Tasking Manager
14:11:41 <russdeffner> Sound good?
14:12:27 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> perfect
14:12:37 <russdeffner> ok, next one is easy/fast...

14:13:54 <russdeffner> So, new member (and existing) can now get a good idea of how things work in this working group...
14:14:05 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> awesome

14:14:52 <russdeffner> This link can also be found on the Trello, and I'll double-check but think it's on wiki-page also
14:15:32 <russdeffner> #topic FEMA National Level Exercise
14:15:37 <russdeffner> moving on...
14:16:03 <russdeffner> Several of us participated in the FEMA NLE drill over the last week
14:16:33 <russdeffner> It was good, but the scenario was mainland US, so probably not something we would have 'activated' for IRL
14:17:27 <russdeffner> But it further established some 'players' in the crowdsourcing efforts in the US and if for nothing else, we are there because of our network
14:18:18 <russdeffner> I'm going to leave the card active on the Trello because I want to 'debrief' with Melanie & the Heidelberg team before calling it 'done'
14:18:33 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> okay cool. still an interesting perspective to have
14:19:32 <russdeffner> Yes, and just good to be there as an 'established' crowd/open-source org to help the other orgs navigate
14:20:42 <russdeffner> The other project 'in progress' I don't have much/any update, so think we can move to current activations/activities
14:21:18 <russdeffner> #topic Current Activations/Disaster Mapping
14:22:09 <russdeffner> Blake has been the primary lead on the Africa flooding requests for UNOSAT/UNITAR
14:22:50 <russdeffner> I saw they are looking at more areas and heard from Geoffrey this morning (my) about the dam break in Kenya
14:23:11 <russdeffner> Anyone have more news than that?
14:25:09 <russdeffner> Ok, I somewhat anticipate this becoming 'East Africa Flooding 2018' Activation to cover needs in multiple countries
14:25:37 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> I haven't been involved, so nothing from me
14:25:53 <russdeffner> Will expect to hear more from Blake when he gets off the road
14:27:20 <russdeffner> If anyone working on flooding situations in East Africa sees this; please use the #disaster-mapping channel on Slack to coordinate/inform us what's up
14:27:48 <russdeffner> Just so if we get requests from the UN, etc. we know what's going on
14:28:39 <russdeffner> I also contacted the mapper doing most of the work regarding the Hawaii earthquake/volcanoe situation
14:28:50 <russdeffner> And of course chatted with FEMA briefly
14:29:19 <russdeffner> Don't expect any HOT needs from there but individually mappers are getting that area well basemapped
14:30:24 <russdeffner> Then the only other thing I have heard about was the DRC Ebola situation, looks like that/those projects are almost done
14:30:44 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> yeah I saw someone was mapping the sites in hawaii
14:32:37 <russdeffner> Ya, that's that Adam guy; I didn't ask/question the tagging schema, etc. but responsive and let him know how to get ahold of/follow us if there's a major need
14:34:35 <russdeffner> If there's nothing else on disaster mapping, we can do general/any other business...
14:35:27 <russdeffner> #topic Any Other Business
14:36:03 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> no other business from me
14:36:16 <russdeffner> Anyone else joined us? Just a hello will get your attendance logged :)
14:36:37 <hot_slack_bot> <r_aytoun> Hello
14:36:58 <russdeffner> Hi Ralph, have anything for AWG before we shut down?
14:37:22 <hot_slack_bot> <r_aytoun> Nothing from me at this stage.
14:38:59 <russdeffner> Ok, thanks for coming Matt and Ralph, notes/follow-up will come from me or Philipp soon
14:39:23 <russdeffner> And have a great #ValidationFriday everyone!
14:39:39 <hot_slack_bot> <giblet> Thanks for leading Russ, happy #ValidationFriday to you too!
