Comment from SomeoneElse
Hello,
Can you explain what "#hotosm-project-2286, #MissingMaps, Mwezeni, #Zimbabwe Added #roads and #settlements using Bing #googledub" means please? As you may be well aware we're not allowed to use Google as a source for OpenStreetMap (although specific post-disaster exceptions have sometimes been granted, such as in Haiti post-earthquake). As it's not clear what "#googledub" means in the changeset comment above can you please explain it?
Best Regards,
Andy Townsend, on behalf of OpenStreetMap's Data Working Group. -

Hi Andy!
#googledub refers to the group of volunteers in Dublin, Ireland that engage with HOT / MSF to support their efforts to map vulnerable areas of the world. Volunteers rely on the imagery provided to HOT for their mapping efforts (not google maps).
Feel free to message me directly if you need to discuss further.
Donal
