HOT (Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team) is an international organization focused on humanitarian action and community development through open mapping. The HOT Technology team collaborates to create open-source tools that empower communities to generate and manage their own geospatial data, fostering autonomy and participation in local decision-making processes. By addressing key gaps in the tech ecosystem, HOT enables a comprehensive mapping workflow that includes everything from imagery capturing to processing and field mapping. Their innovative projects, such as the Drone Tasking Manager, aim to democratize drone imagery generation, allowing local drone pilots to contribute to high-resolution imagery creation in a community-led manner.
