Contribute map of Kenya to Galileo project; provide feedback

[crtahlin]

Motivation/ background / user story:

• Map (geo) data is extremely important in our everyday life - presuming of course that we are talking about the physical world. It enables us to more easily navigate the world around us and find places of interest.
• Maintaining relevant maps on a global scale is a massive effort that just a few (commercial) providers are able to tackle to an appropriate degree - thereby only a couple of large players are present. Providing maps and services on top of them gives them a competitive edge and certain power over the market of all the services connected to them.
• Project Galileo builds on top of FairOS which uses Swarm’s decentralized storage. It is tackling two aspects that are crucial to solving the above problems: how can decentralized storage and tech be used to host the geodata and how can communities be engaged to contribute and be properly compensated for the contributions.

Tasks

• Familiarize with the repo containing Galileo : https://github.com/fairDataSociety/galileo
• Familiarize yourself with the rendered content on the Galileo webpage: https://app.galileo.fairdatasociety.org/
• Follow the instructions in the Galileo repo (https://github.com/fairDataSociety/galileo#readme ) on "How to create and share your own map?"
• Use the instructions to contribute the map of Kenya; take notes where instructions might be improved

Approving criteria

• Map of Kenya is visible on the Galileo webpage
• Feedback on instructions is given, with possible improvements noted (something between 250 -500 words)

Timeline

• Deadline: 15th Feb 2022

Other Swarm documentation. FairOS documentation. Use the Fair Data Society Discord for more information and support. Mind the Fair Data Society Principles in your tasks.

My feedback about the workflow: I really enjoyed working on the task but initially I struggled with downloading tiles from nextzen.org using osm_files_downloader script. The script stopped due to server errors on the nextgen side and had to be restarted manually. After I did restart the script several times I came up with an idea to write a simple wrapper script that would check for the osm_files_downloader script return code and restart the script if the return code is non-zero. Since the osm_files_downloader script caches already downloaded tiles, it will not restart from scratch. This allowed to get full tiles data without further manual interventions. Then I also downloaded Estonia map and made a mistake of uploading two maps into a single pod, which prevented selecting single map to be displayed, so had to re-upload the maps into separate pods. Finally, both maps were uploaded correctly. As future enhancements to this workflow I would think of creating a list of coordinates for each country, write a script that would download all the tiles from nextgen for each map into separate folders and finally modify the upload script to automatically push the maps into separate pods.

Hi @crtahlin @gitcoinbot is there any chance to close this bounty as well as Estonia one? I know the hackathon is in progress and there are lots of things going on but these were likely forgotten and perhaps can be finalized. Thank you!
