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

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

@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
Let's define what TransforMap is. I try to invite the whole list, bit I don't know wether it funcions. If you want, please follow the link and participate in the discussion.

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
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).

Wishing you a good read!

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,

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
I would like to have a text (at least in german and english), which I can
send to potential partners, inviting them to support or join transformap.
Does such a text exist ?
