##How to get started contributing to a Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team task

###Overview

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open-source map of the world that anyone can edit. But like any map, it's incomplete.

The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) helps organize people to improve the OSM map for crisis areas, mostly so aid workers can find their way around and make decisions about undermapped places. The data in these crisis areas is often very poor, or completely non-existent. Therefore any contribution you make at all will be a vast improvement, and could materially help people who are on the ground right now, looking at this data as you edit it, and deciding where to go and who to help.

There are many HOT tasks active at once. As of August 2014, the highest-priority tasks are Gaza and areas affected by the West African Ebola outbreak.

# This is a shell function to quickly grab the data for a given Landsat 8 tile ID from Google's servers
# For example:
# l8get LC81690352014169LGN00

# The echo at the end is to remind myself of the syntax for extracting bands 8, 4, 3, and 2. (Pansharp, Red, Green, Blue)

# On OSX this would go into your ~/.bash_profile file.
# Requires gsutil from https://developers.google.com/storage/docs/gsutil_install
# Most useful in conjunction with USGS' Earth Explorer: http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/

I heard from GitHub Two-Factor Authentication](https://github.com/blog/1614-two-factor-authentication) nearly a couple of days ago when I was reading my RSS feed. I enabled it and couldn' push to any of my repositories anymore. Learn in this blog post how to fix it.

Two-Factor Authentication

"Is a process involving two stages to verify the identity of an entity trying to access services in a computer or in a network". Github solves this authentication with sending an SMS to a device which wants to push to their platform.
