Re: [OSM-talk-be] [Kivu] Help to young active men in kivu

2020-07-31 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Bonsoir,

Encore une fois, tu poses de très bonnes questions. Et j'aimerais que nos amis 
du sud puissent devenir maître de leur autonomie numérique. C'est une des 
raisons pour lesquelles je me dis que cartographier leur environnement, 
identifier les ressources physiques locales (fibres, pylônes, câbles, 
fournisseurs d'accès potentiels ou simplement personnes ou institutions assez 
bien connectées et disposées à partager de temps en temps cette connexion ...) 
et les rassembler dans openstreetmap.

Mais il y a en partie une question de poule et d'œuf, et de compétence comme de 
manque de disponibilité de ma part.

Par où commencer quand on ne dispose que de smartphones et de peu de bande 
passante ?

Peut-être que la communauté OpenStreetMap belge peut nous / les aider. Et si je 
mentionne riot, c'est que la dite communauté utilise aujourd'hui plutôt cela 
que le courriel.

Bonne soirée,

Nicolas

PS et je t'ai mis dans la boucle aussi car je sais que tu as correspondu avec 
nos amis

Hello,

A team of active young men in kivu with very limited internet access are 
looking for help to map better their city of Bukavu and surroundings.

They have smatphones and expensive connections with low bandwidth.

They use telegram and email, but I don't know for riot.

Some are in cc and more are on the mailing list k...@educode.ne

Bonjour,

En fait, on cartographie le mieux lorsqu'on est sur place, càd vous. Il
est tout à fait possible de le faire avec un smartphone.

Merci de nous dire quelles sont les systèmes d'exploitation de vos
smartphones.

Le groupe OSM-BE vous aidera en vous guidant. Je mets en copie 2 membres
particulièrement actifs de la liste belge et la liste de discussion de
osm-be : talk-be@openstreetmap.org

Comme cela, vous ne devrez presque pas utiliser le web. Juste une fois
de temps en temps pour transférer ce qui aura été stocké sur vos
smartphones.

@Jo, Joost, osm-be : pouvez vouns aider les membres de la communauté du
Kivu, des jeunes très actifs mais qui disposent en fait de très peu de
bande passante, très chère. Il faut que nous en tenions compte. Une des
idées de la cartographie est de les aider aussi à repérer les antennes
et points d'accès auxquels ils pourraient connecter le réseau internet
qu'avec Gaël Musquet (de https://hand.team) nous allons les aider à
construire, installer et maintenir, en étant aussi indépendant que
possibles.

Bonne journée,

Nicolas

can you provide a legal text with that ?

I thought that we are allowed to take a picture for our personal needs
but we have to ask the permission to publish it unless special cases,
eg. as journalists. Otherwise, journalists and whistle blowers could not
do their jobs without authorization

Bonjour

Merci pour ton mail. Je me réjouis de la rencontre.

Je rajoute à la conversation la liste des contributeurs belges de
OpenStreetMap (OSM) (and sorry, I go on in French because the team in
south Kivu speak French, very few English and not Flemish) pour leur
aide. Je continue aussi par email car riot est pour le moment difficile
pour nos amis du Kivu qui ont surtout accès au peu d'internet dont ils
disposent par smartphones.

@osm-be friends : could you help the team of very motivated young people
around Alain to map Bukavu and south Kivu, to

 1. have the best possible map of the country
 2. use the map to build a good community-based internet network

They have access to smartphones and apparently hardly to any desktops or
laptops, nor to good and cheap internet access ... that we want to help
achieve.

À toi Alain et les membres de la liste k...@educode.be, 

Ce qui est nécessaire c'est que vous appreniez à faire le travail de
cartographie qui peut être fait avec des smartphones en ayant que de
temps en temps une connexion au web. Les membres de OSM-be peuvent vous
aider à apprendre les outils sur smartphone et les bonnes méthodes, et
nous pouvons aussi vous aider en cartographiant certains morceaux d'ici
avec les photos aériennes, mais votre travail sur place reste essentiel
dans la philosophe de OSM.

Et une des contributions de Gaël sera de vous aider à avoir le matériel
pour construire les réseaux locaux dont vous avez besoin en vous
inspirant de http://hand.team/#la-methode avec notre support et si
possible nos soutiens financiers et logistiques aussi.

Bonne journée et à très bientôt,

[OSM-talk-be] Cartographie au kivu

2020-04-21 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Bonjour Alain,
Bonjour les personnes des listes osm-be et osm-fr,

Alain est un étudiant du Kivu intéressé par les projets autour des
ressources éducatives libres, des webinaires et formations à des outils
libres que Educode met en place à l'occasion de ce confinement. (voir
https://educode.be et https://wiki.educode.be)

Nous nous sommes rendus compte que avant de pouvoir discuter des
contenus et outils, il y a une vraie difficulté au Kivu (et sans doute
en général dans une bonne partie de l'Afrique). L'accès à internet est
compliqué et cher.

Donc, il paraît nécessaire de commencer par attaquer ce problème avant
les autres. Il me semblait que cartographier les ressources existantes
(points d'accès, pylônes de 4G, lieux qui fournissent du wifi,
ressources électriques telles que panneaux solaires, éoliennes,
générateurs ...) puis voir comment mettre en place des réseaux
indépendants (comme ce que http://hand.team/ fait dans les caraïbes pour
rendre les populations indépendantes) pourrait être opportuns.

À propos de la cartographie, il me semble que les groupes OSM-BE et
OSM-FR seraient de bien meilleures aides que moi. Voilà pourquoi je vous
ai mis en copie.

Vous trouverez ci-dessous la suite de la correspondance avec Alain qui
est l'interface avec les autres personnes (surtout des enseignants) du Kivu.

Pour le moment aussi, les discussions en dehors de celles par email
(ici) sont sur whatsapp. Peut-être auriez-vous des suggestions pour des
outils plus opportuns, qui fonctionnent sur smartphone comme sur
desktop, et ne dépendent pas de Facebook (et facile à apprendre) ? Ex
Matrix / riot ?

Merci pour votre aide à tous,

l'idée est d'abord de répertorier tout ce qui existe autour de vous; sur
le plus possible de choses pour avoir les cartes les plus détaillées. Il
ne tient qu'à vous de faire cela, avec l'aide des élèves, étudiants,
parents ... bref tout le monde. Cela peut devenir un jeu et même un bel
objectif : avoir la carte la plus complète et la plus précise du Kivu /
de RDC / d'Afrique.

tout cela aussi

mon idée est donc : avant tout, il faut avoir une bonne idée de

[OSM-talk-be] Ideas & osoc2019

2019-07-26 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Dear all,

yesterday, I have discovered with much pleasure numerous projects
relate to OSM at OSOC2019 (Open summer of code) public presentation.

See https://2019.opensummerofcode.be/2019 

I have been really impressed by

* https://2019.opensummerofcode.be/2019/open-heritage-map
* https://2019.opensummerofcode.be/2019/configuroute
* https://2019.opensummerofcode.be/2019/hopper
* https://2019.opensummerofcode.be/2019/cycling-up
* https://2019.opensummerofcode.be/2019/road-report

to name a few.

I dream that soon, hopper be another (a third one) routing proposal of
the official osm.org for example as well as configuroute.

Or that configuroute would ask "why" a user at some point wants to
change the default proposed route and that this reason be automatically
entered, it the users wants and confirm, into a road-report to add
another point of concern related to the street states (eg as a cyclist
I could rather say change the route due to bad road state than enter
the case in road-report).

I dream that road-report would have results and data that are
completely public to allow the public to follow and spot the treatment
by the administration of the reported cases and problems. 
for example.

For this, I think that we, the Belgian OSM-be people coult help improve
the projects and then support their addition to OSM.

What do you think ?

Have a good day,

Nicolas

[OSM-talk-be] invitation à educode 2019 le vendredi 27 septembre 2019 à Bruxelles

2019-06-09 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Bonjour,

Je souhaite

 1. vous/t' inviter à educode2019 le vendredi 27 septembre 2019 à
Bruxelles 
 2. vous/t' inviter à y faire une ou des conférences sur le logiciel
libre et les licences creative commons dans vos usages, et pour
créer des œuvres libres,
 3. faire un ou des ateliers sur tout logiciel (libre bien sûr) ou
contenus (aussi libre) que des profs pourraient utiliser et
 4. tenir un stand.

Une conférence et un atelier peuvent être faits à distance. On en a déjà
qui seront faits depuis l'Argentine.

Comme educode 2018 (voir http://educode.be et 2018.educode.be qui
restera) on veut informer, former et susciter la réflexion des acteurs
du monde de l'enseignement (= tout le monde) sur le numérique,
l'informatique et les ressources libres. Vous (et tous vos membres, amis
... ) êtes donc autant attendus que bienvenus.

Nous avons déjà pas mal de conférences, d'ateliers, partenaires mais il
en faut encore.

Toute aide (financière, humaine, logistique, en matériel, pour la
promotion, en temps de calcul ...) est la très bienvenue. On cherche
encore des partenaires

Pour info, educode 2020 aura lieu les 7 et 8 février à Lille (université
de Lille) juste après didapro.

Merci  et à très bientôt j'espère,

Nicolas

As said, I'll be there. I have submitted a talk about openseamap : «

For this project, I am writing a proposal to get some financial support,
eg/ from the communes/gemeenten on the seaside and from the Flemish
government. Some help will be welcome for this project as my knowledge
of Flemisch is not sufficient to write in proper Flemisch

I will also present the educode.be international conference to be held
at Bozar, ESI and the Royal Académie on August 27, 28 and 29 that will
be about teaching and coding and the use of free softwares and free
datas in the classrooms. Any helps, suggestions, ideas, proposals are

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Open Belgium

2018-01-10 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Hello,

I have just fille the form with a proposal:

Title : OpenSeaMap : mapping the depth of the Belgian coast

Abstract : OpenSeaMap is an extension of OpenStreetMap that provides a
full map of the seas and oceans. Today is contains many information
about the marks that are above the sealevel. One of the projects of the
OpenSeaMap community is to make sure the underwater is as well known. I
will describe what is done, which hardware and which software is
developed, what could be some ideas for the Belgian coasts and give some
other ideas, what needs to be done.

Hi Joost and the other members of the list,

I would like to talk about a project I am resuming to work on : mapping
the depth of the sea, at least the Belgian coast. This is part of
OpenSeaMap.

I would also like to talk about the applications maps.me and
StreetComplete that can be of daily use, that are very convenient and
easy. StreetComplete is an easy way to help improve OSM

I think having a discussion of OSM enthusiats about the future
activities around OSM in Belgium would be good, as well as having a
yearly planning of all the activities known today that could be
interesting (eg. Fosdem in February, then OpenBelgium, then some HOT
activities like last year possibly then Educode.be ...)

Regards,

Nicolas

Re: [OSM-talk-be] OSM and SIAMU

2017-11-27 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Dear all

Together with Marc Ducobu as other member of the « OSM community » I
have attended a meeting organized at VIAS (the former IBSR) by Herbert
Hansen with representatives from the Siamu, Police and other (see mail
here below).

I have the impression that working openly with the community is for many
organizations a difficult step to consider and manage.

I think that the human relationships play an extremely important part in
the success or failure of the use of technology, here the data.

May I suggest that the SIAMU invite the active members of this thread of
discussion for a physical (in person) meeting on their premises.

As I suggested to the SIAMU, and as they have done with the very
interesting exchange initiated by Nadia Poncelet, working openly with
the community that is striving to address cases of general concerns and
general interest, would be profitable.

Maybe Mr Hansen who worked with GIS data a lot and now helps
institutions with projects could help in making sure that such a meeting
is profitable for all parties (aka SIamu and OSM).

Best regards,

Nicolas

2015-12-03 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
 

Dear all, 

I have participated in different meetings related to the organization of
begeo as a representative of OSM. 

I made some proposals to involve us (the OSM community) and make sure
that our preoccupetions are met : need for open data, that could be
inserted into OSM or for applications made by and for the citizens. 

I'll check, but I think that it is still possible for us to be active
and well represented in begeo.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Taalfaciliteiten + taalgrens + straatnamen

2015-12-02 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
 

Much hanks Sander. Reading your mail, and especially the sentence 

"Of all streets in all those municipalities, around 91% had a name, but
only 26% had name:fr and name:nl tags. Such a low quality is really sad
to see." 

I would like us to propose the following community project : (for which
I would be happy to organize a meeting in Brussels to celebrate the end
and communicate to journalist whom we would meet) let us complete and
make sure we have, at least for those bilingual municipalities 100 %
coverage (= names in names:fr and names:nl) 

Could you please Sander post your lists of street names in a spreadsheet
like framacalc.org or a text file on a share location (ie github or
git.framasoft.org) and the URL to the elements (streets) in OSM for us
(the community) to help translate easily and effectively (looking at the
real names in the streets) in OSM ? 

We could do one commune/gemeente after the other and organize a
celebration in each commune with the elected representatives and the
associations, claiming "You have won, your commune is now fully
translated in OSM". 

We could also celebrate the fact that every street of the commune are in
OSM. 

Thereafter, with the communes and their offices, we could organize that
they internally use and invest into OSM : eg register in OSM all their
public buildings, post offices ,shops ... And then that they use OSM and
the related services to build the topic maps of the communes 

What do you think ?

Nicoals

I know, but when you first visit OpenStreetMap and look for your

The first impression is important in this case.

Any solution for this problem is fine for me.

I also tend to think that we should find a solution the let any user

region. I think that our united and peaceful Belgian OSM community can 
lead the way here again.


For example, I find particularly irritating to note that some commercial 
car guidance (often called "car gps") with included commercial maps or 
commercial mapping systems on the web, do offer the region of Brussels 
(which is bilingual but to a much larger extend French rather than 
Flemish) in Dutch / Flemish by default. And not a bilingual version 
which would be at least normal (for me)

Re: [OSM-talk-be] SOTM 2016 and meetings

2015-08-25 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
 

Much thanks Joost for the mail, the news and the already long list of
tasks we can examine. 

In many circumstances, we all work under tight deadlines, but if we can
manage to have less it will also save stress for many of us, as well as
permit more. I have in mind for example that having a precise document
with dates, times, locations, numbers, names of confirmed speakers (aka
a pre-program) ... as soon as possible would help very much to go to
sponsors and obtain funding, especially to the public administrations
and ministerial cabinets. And these require always time to answer, not
to say that many of them work annually, meaning that, if we want to have
some public funding for 2016, we should enter a proper form before (I
suppose) something like end of November 2015. 

I am ready to go to some of these institutions in Brussels (the city,
the region) where I have contacts, but I know, as said above, that to be
considered seriously, even by the most friendly people, we should have a
proper document. This is the reason why, for example, the organisation
of the RMLL (Rencontres mondiales des logiciels libres) ask for a
complete file to select the future location ... and the team. 

The SOTM selection also ask for such a document and much information,
but, on the basis of what I know and have seen, we should continue to
work on the organization and provide some precisions in order to have a
good "dossier" to present to the funders. 

About the meeting at ESI, I would propose to do an precise mapping
party, to go further in the direction that we have browsed in April last
year and for example, organize a "josm training for cyclist" (for
example) to teach to the participants how to use josm, especially to
advance the cycling map of Brussels (or any city to involve more
interested participants). And after such an activity, propose to the
ones who want to go on with the discussion around SOTM. Doing so, I
think we could both move further in a direction that was asked for in
April (by some who came to the activity and were frustrated as we did
not have the time to really work with josm) as well as do something
precise about SOTM, for the ones who want. 

And I'll do taht with a framadate proposal (a free equivalent to doodle)
that I prefer. 

I'll do that sometimes next week, 

Best regards, 

Nicolas

Dear Ben

THe largest room is big enough ... only to gather the people who will 
take care of the preparation. My proposal is to meet sometimes, 
starting next month, for the preparation of SOTM, not SOTM itself !

Does it have big enough rooms? Because the pictures in the gallery on
its website only show small classrooms. If a thousand people are
coming we may need to have at least one auditorium that can seat a few
hundred.

Dear Joost & Ruben,

Thanks for the idea and the organization. I am in Brussels during the 
week. During the week-end, I can move.


I can help with the organization of a "beery" activity around Etterbeek 
or Ixelles.


The campus of ESI (very close to Central station in Brussels) is 
accessible on Saturday mornings as we did last year.


Best regards,

I don't mind hacky nor beery by the way. Both of them are great.

Apparently I have college every day at 8:00, except for Wednesdays,

I'm near Antwerp for the weekends and in Brussels for the weeks. I can
probably get something organised at the Etterbeek campus too.

[OSM-talk-be] SOTM 2016 and meetings

2015-08-23 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux

Dear OSM-be community,

We have engaged in the organization of organization of the 2016 edition 
of SOTM. So far, a smaller group of people around Ben, have lead the way 
to transform into reality a possible crazy but interesting idea that I 
have shared with you.


SOTM 2016 will be organized in the second half of 2016 in Brussels, and 
even it it is about one year ahead of us, this year will pass by very 
quickly.


SOTM 2016 could, following Christian Quest of OSM-Fr (in cc), whom I 
have met recently, gather 1000 people. THis is not a small number of 
people. THe resulting event would not be a small one.
OSM-Fr people have decided NOT to propose to organize SOTM 2016, but 
work with us (the Belgians) to propose a beautiful and very interesting 
SOTM event.


I think it could interesting to open the discussion to more members of 
the community as well as to
these French friends, and organize regular events to 1/ see and get to 
know each other
in real life to be better prepared to share the workload, 2/ setup a 
large enough team to support the workload. We could consider monthly 
meetings supporting online effective collaboration.


I therefore propose herewith, if not yet proposed otherwise and 
compatible with Ben"s views and the SOTM expectations, to organize at 
ESI in September the first of such event to organize SOTM 2016 in 
Brussels.


What do you think ?

ESI is well located centrally, close to Central station, if has the 
infrastructure (as it is a computing school), and I can most probably 
obtain the room for free.


Hope to read you on this proposal.

Best regards,

Nicolas

Just a little note to let you know that together with Christian Quest,
the coordinator of the BAN (Base Adresse Nationale) from the Etalab
mission and one of the founder of OpenStreetMap France, I met yesterday
Michiel Mentens, advisor for the Simplification administrative -
Administratieve vereenvoudigheid of Minister Theo Francken.

We have discussed the French experience around such a unique source of
addresses at national level, the benefit it brings and the difficulties
to make it happen. We have also addressed many linked topics and subject.

We had a very good and productive contact, opening many opportunities
for further collaborations.

[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: BeGeo 3/3/2016 : we zijn vertrokken - c'est parti! 15/9 14-17H (Diamant Brussel)

2015-07-11 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux

Dear all,

I think we (the Belgian OSM) community can well participate in the BeGeo 
meeting, its organisation, and also with talks, eg. about the need for 
open data especially in GIS, the success it can bring to Society, and 
the success it has brought.


This meeting can also be a good way to have many people in Belgium 
realize that we'll host SOTM in 2016 also, and draw people there.


I think members of osm-be who participate actively in BeGeo should be 
allowaed to enter withou paying anything. ANd at least, osm-be should be 
considered as a partner, even if we do not pay anything (aswe are all 
volunteers).


What do you think ?

Regards,

Nicolas

Beste partner

De kogel is door de kerk: 3 maart 2016 wordt de datum voor de nieuwe
beurs/congres/ontmoetingsplaats BeGeo in The Egg, Brussel.

AGORIA en het Nationaal Geografische Instituut, met als ondersteunende
partner Sense, hebben als initiatiefnemers u al ingelicht over het
voornemen. Recent heeft ook de AGIV aangegeven te willen aansluiten,
mits de eerste BeGeo in maart 2016 wordt georganiseerd. De
initiatiefnemers hebben nu definitief besloten om 3 maart 2016 te kiezen
als datum en bereid te zijn te investeren in BeGeo. Daarmee gaan wij de
organisatie opstarten.

Onze ambitie is om BeGeo met partners te organiseren. Wij zijn content
dat velen al aangegeven hebben dat BeGeo een goed initiatief is en te
willen aansluiten Sommigen met een financiële bijdrage, sommigen met
programma-ondersteuning en sommigen met communicatieondersteuning. Het
partnerschap kan op verschillende manieren vorm gegeven worden.

Het is ook mogelijk om eigen bijeenkomsten ren activiteiten te
integreren in BeGeo. Dat biedt voordelen.

Wij hebben de ambitie om de toegangsprijs voor deelnemers zo laag
mogelijk te houden. De exacte toegangsprijs is afhankelijk van de
hoeveelheid partners die ook financieel willen bijdragen. De prijs wordt
in oktober vast gesteld, als de partners hebben kunnen nadenken over hun
bijdrage.

Nu wij definitief doorgaan met de organisatie van BeGeo nodigen wij u
uit voor een overleg Op 15 september 14-17 in het Diamantgebouw in
Brussel voor een eerste partnervergadering. Wij doen u dan een voorstel
voor het aansluiten als partner met diverse partnerpakketten. Tevens
presenteren wij u dan de opzet van het programma en inventariseren ook
de wensen om eigen activiteiten op te nemen in het programma.

De partnerpakketten zullen wij u voor het overleg toesturen, zodat u
hier over kunt nadenken en op het overleg al uw standpunt kunt geven of
u aansluit als partner en op welke wijze.

De Agenda is:

1. update rond BeGeo : presentatie beurs - en programma folder oproep

2. Mogelijkheden van partnerschap:

- presentatie partnerpakketten

- feedback/suggestie van verschillende partners over eigen bijdrage in
2016

3. programma: inhoudelijke bijdrage en suggesties sprekers (* zie
thema's)

4. volgende stappen : datum volgende programma comités

21/10 14-17u

17/11 14-17u

Gelieve uw aanwezigheid te bevestigen.

Met vriendeljke groeten,

(*) Voorgestelde thema's:

Op BeGeo komen diverse thema's aan bod. Deze thema's inspireren om
voorstellen voor het programma in te dienen :

* Geo-locatie als strategische beleidsondersteuning: smart city, smart
government

* GEO als ondersteuning in een actieve beleidsvoering: voordelen voor
publieke overheid en nutsmaatschappijen

* UAS - Drones: geografische gegevens 'on demand'

* Geospatial (Open) Data

* Volunteer geography: iedereen is een maker

* Standaarden UNGGIM, OGC, ISO, ...

* GI adoptie: overzicht van use cases en trends waarbij geo-informatie
gebruikt wordt en die aanleidinggeven tot meer productiviteit, innovatie

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bruxelles centre : nouveau piétonnier

2015-06-28 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux

Much thanks for the idea and the work.

How can the new "pietonnier" be viewed on OSM ?

Is is finished yet ? If not, when will it probably be ?

What remains to be done ?

How could I help ?

Shouldn't we celebrate, and doing so for example, map explicitely every 
bar and restaurant in the center of Brussels, and while doing so, write 
down some important information about such places : their names, 
specialities, opening times, website, telephone number, accessibility 
info, kind of food served or of beer served ... ?


Should we write a press release to inform the users that OSM-be is ready 
for the new arrangement and is probably the first online map to be so. 
So it should also work for routting.


I have started https://annuel.framapad.org/p/PsmBxl20150628 and I would 
like some help for the content (to be sure to write something that is 
true) and the translation to English and Flemisch

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Wallonia to publish data from OSM

2015-06-05 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Great news. Much thanks.

Could you write a post on the topic that could for example be published on
OSM.be and that we could tweet on ?

Much thanks for sharing,

Bonjour Matthieu,
Merci pour l'information et la proposition de suivi.

D'après ce que je vois du site web (par ailleurs sur ma machine plus 
lent et plus lourd que OSM et openCycleMap) la licence n'est pas 
compatible avec OSM . Dommage. C'est peut-être un point à traiter avec 
les créateurs du site pour commencer ?


Et aussi sur le long terme, leur proposer uen collaboration formelle 
avec la communauté OSM.


Qu'en penses-tu ?

Bien à toi,

Nicolas

Salut à tous,

Nous vous informons que ces appellations RAVeL 1, 2, 3, 4 et 5 vont

de longue distance et 4 internationaux. Un nouveau site Internet 
RAVeL est en cours de développement. Il sera prêt pour fin 2015. La 
nouvelle version des cartes RAVeL papier, qui sera publiée en juin

Y a-t-il un mappeur en particulier qui suit de près les ravels ? Sinon 
je veux bien coordonner les efforts pour mettre à jour les cartes et 
sans doute faire une petite remise à niveau, il me semble avoir 
constaté qu’il y avait de temps à autre des ruptures dans ces liaisons.


Mais avant toute chose, avons-nous une déclaration de libération des

[OSM-talk-be] SOTM 2016 : postpone Bxl proposal to 2017

2015-05-15 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux

Dear all,

I have had a look at the 3 proposals for SOTM 2016
as mentioned in 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_2016/Call_for_venues


The proposal for Montréal (Canada) contains a verry interesting, not 
reproducible feature : alinging SOTM with the 2016 FSM Forum social 
mondial that will take place in Montréal in August 2016.


I therefore propose that

1/ we postpose our proposal to 2017. THis will give us all the time to 
make a very strong proposal, and also to gather support, money and 
collaboration in order to make a very good SOTM in Brussels


2/ we support as much as we can Montréal 2016 proposal

3/ we manage to participate in the organization of SOTM 2016 to know 
from the inside what is needed for the organization (as much as 
possible, the organization of the yearly RMLL suppose that the 
organisers for year n take part in year n-1 at least to be trained and 
prepared)


3 bis/ we pull the people of OSM-fr in to help and support Montréal as 
much as they can.


4/ we go to SOTM 2016, enjoy the city (I go there already this summer) 
and participate to educate the numerous participants to FSM to becomre 
mappers.


5/ we let the OSM Foundation know about out plan.

What do you think about my proposal ?

Much thanks,

Nicolas

[OSM-talk-be] Thanks for 25/4/2015

2015-05-04 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Just a little work to thank everybody who as contributed to the 
cartoparty on April 25, 2015 at ESI.


The participants, despite some trouble at the beginning with the wifi, 
have been happy and some collaboration, eg with Gracq or the 
administration of Brussels (Atrium) that takes care to register the 
accessibility of all shops in Brussels (thanks to a team of people going 
to EVERY shops in Brussels), are foreseen. I dream of the day when the 
administration will use and improve OSM every day, and these field 
collectors will work first to improve OSM.


Special thanks to Marc (2, Gemis and Ducobu), Jo, Michel, Geneviève, 
Peter, Gaël.


We have been asked now to do another party, focusing on using josm to 
add (a lot) of data.


Best regards,

Nicolas

Dear Marc,

Much thanks for what you have done. It is very good. What we will do and
what the users (beginners) will be able to do is good also. If they want
to know more, get involved, then we will organize other meetings aimed
really at advanced mapping for PMR (personnes à mobilité réduite) and
cycle if you consider this more advanced.

We shall probably have an article in Le Soir of tomorrow about the
party.

best regards,

Cartopartie pour améliorer les cartes de Bruxelles pour les handicapés et
les cyclistes ce samedi 25/4/2015 à Bruxelles

Communiqué de presse
Bruxelles le 23 avril 2015 - Cartopartie pour améliorer les cartes de
Bruxelles pour les handicapés et les cyclistes

Une cartopartie est un événement convivial durant lequel se réunissent des
gens pour améliorer, en cartographiant, la carte libre OpenStreetMap (
www.openstreetmap.org). N'importe qui peut en effet contribuer à
OpenStreetMap qui est un peu le Wikipédia de la carte.

Le thème de cette cartopartie est l'amélioration des données importantes
pour les personnes à mobilité réduite et pour les cyclistes. En améliorant
ces données dans OpenStreetMap, les rendus de cartes dédiés à ces personnes
(http://wheelmap.org (une cartographie pour personnes à mobilité réduite)
et  http://opencyclemap.org (une cartographie pour personnes circulant à
vélo)) seront ainsi automatiquement améliorés.

La cartopatie se déroulera le samedi 25 avril à l'auditoire 004 de l'ESI
(67 rue Royale, Bruxelles) de 9h à 13h.

Dans un premier temps, le fonctionnement d'OpenstreetMap sera exposé
(comment ajouter quelque chose, les règles à respecter, ...). Ensuite les
participants seront invités à encoder des éléments manquants dont ils ont
connaissance (voisinage, ...). Vers 11h-12h, Mapillary (www.mapillary.com),
une application cherchant à proposer un service équivalent à
GoogleStreetView de manière collaborative, sera présentée. Finalement, vers
13h, sera proposé une sortie pour faire des photos pour Mapillary et
charger cela sur internet.

Le créateur de Mapillary (www.mapillary.com/), une application pour faire
collectivement l'équivalent de street view, sera présent.

Pour une bonne gestion, l'inscription est attendue sur
https://framadate.org/vspmbw9xba5pfasn

Tout le monde est le bienvenu (surtout les curieux et les cartographes
débutants qui recevront l’appui de cartographes confirmés).

Il est demandé aux participants d'apporter, si possible, un ordinateur
portable afin que tout le monde puisse participer à la phase d'encodage et
leurs smartphones.

merci beaucoup Jo. Vous avez l'expérience de ce qui fonctionne. Basons
nous sur cela. Pourrais-tu modifier le pad dans le sens de la manière que
tu vois ?

Je crois que c'est important d'avoir une partie pratique pour que les
personnes puissent manipuler et contribuer, et effectivement que les gens
ajoutent qq chose qu'ils connaissent bien, près de chez eux est une bonne
idée.

Merci de ton input, et merci à Marc aussi. (vous pouvez écrire dans le pad
en néerlandais ou en anglais, on pourra faire un communiqué trilingue)

Ce serait une bonne idée.

Il y aura sans doute des articles dans Le Soir (Alain Jenotte) et La Libre
(je ne sais pas qui) mais avec un communiqué de presse, nous pourrons un
peu mieux guider les journalistes.

Du matériel dans les liens ci-dessous :

Le lendemain, à ESI (67 rue royale) filmer la cartopartie durant laquelle
nous allons améliorer la carte libre openstreetmap pour les handicapés
(voir http://wheelmap.org) et pour les cyclistes (voir
http://opencyclemap.org). Adresse : rue royale 67 à 1000 Bruxelles entre
9h et 10h puis entre 11h30 et 13h.

Le créateur de Mapillary http://www.mapillary.com/how.html une application
pour faire collectivement l'équivalent de street view sera présent.

Comme dit, l'activité 2/ se passe en 3 temps :

a) 1h pour savoir comment faire, recevoir des documents papiers à
compléter ou installer une application sur son smartphone,
b) 1h pour aller sur le terrain mesurer, photographier, noter ... et
prendre des notes
c) 1h pour ensemble, sur des ordinateurs, encoder les données dans
openstreetmap.

L'objectif est donc que les gens deviennent indépendants.

Le public peut apporter si possible son ordinateur portable pour que tout
le monde puisse dans la phase c) travailler et pratiquer.

Merci ) toi,

indeed.

We could also imagine for example importing the weekly calendar of road
workds done today by the AED administration and that could be integrated
with OSM and helped improve much the routing of OSM ... and give OSM
routing some advantages with respect to the competition (road work could
be taken into account in the OSM routing and make it more convenient - as
free service - than any other)

I know personnally the people behind tryton (A small team of 3 from
Liège). Very nice people, with a larger international team and a
foundation. They do free software the proper way. By the way, 2 of them
have worked for openerp ... and have left before forking the code.

Dear all,

Trello me be good, but if we depend on an exterior actor for something 
we could do ourselves with free software, I would rather NOT use it.


Please consider trac with its plugins, unless (which I doubt) it is

this is very interesting. I think we should try to make as much possible
to improve the quality of OSM in Be. If the quality is good, we'll have
more possibilities to advertise osm with respect to the other maps
(google, bing, tomtom ...) and we'll have more opportunities to sell
services on osm to communes and private companies. THis will help a
positive circle.

I am interested to help find people who can help. Eg some of my
students, and get paid for such a work. I won't have the time to
contribute and help personnally, other than doing some relationship.

Some of my students (at Ecole supérieure d'informatique) are looking for
paid jobs. Either they go in Delhaize, Carrefour and do some silly jobs
paid 10 €/hour or they help us in OSM, increase their work habilities
and do something that I find more interesting. I would like to help them
working for OSM.

I have some other ideas too : I want to "sell" to Belgium and Vlaanderen
that helping financially to build a good and precise openseamap with
precise crowdsourced bathymetry would help develop the tourism on our
coast. My idea is to have the institutions help us organize mapping
parties on the sea, (that is sail, which is fun) and spread the
equipment on privates boats who would gather datas.

I would love that the sailing maps of the Belgium coast be based on OSM
and be of better quality than the maps sold by IGN and the like (and
this would also help with the use of opencpn , a free navigational
program that now need to be ported to smartphone imho)

Nicolas

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Call for Venues Open: State of the Map 2016

2015-03-12 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux

Hello Pieter-Jan,

-Organising Open Belgium 2015 cost OKFN Belgium around 3 months of 
fulltime work as organiser, with two other co-organisers and a 
communication partner. Something like this is even harder if it not 
your full time job and especially when your audience is spread around 
the globe.
indeed. We have (abelli) the experience with the organisation at ULB of 
the RMLL 2013. See http://2013.rmll.info


-But having a location and ULB as a venue partner is a great 
advantage. You can use it’s proximity to the NL / DE border as a 
positive way to show that it is strategically located. Having a fixed 
point like that is good for your proposal. 
I am quite sure I can get ULB for a reasonable amount. What would be 
the best dates ? (question to all)


-Even if most of the organising is done by volunteers, beware that 
costs pile up quickly, maybe it would be wise to contact the people 
from Karlsruhe (SOT-EU 14) and Birmingham (SOTM-global 13) to see 
what their challenges were, what do you need to consider ask for a 
broad estimation of the costs (financially and in time / manpower).


indeed. Could you please get in touch with these teams and get these 
informations ?


This will give you a clear vision of what assets you need to make 
this a success. 


indeed

If you want help with the proposal let us know :). We can even 
co-organise the whole event if you want, we can see if we can find 
some commercial funding to make this possible. 
I would very much like that OKFN Be be a coorgannizer and that, for the 
work done, you get paid as well as anyone who would like to get paid 
reasonnably for the word done (and appreciated by the community). But 
for me, as much as possible, like RMLL and Fosdem, the event must be 
freely accessible.

Much thanks Ben for the clear proposal. I propose to focus on SOTM 2016 
at ULB as our main goal and then, as fall back to have SOTM-Eu with 
France if possible (Gael Musquet, former president of OSM-fr will be in 
Brussels on April 25 as he told me at OpenBelgium) or SOTM-Be.


Let's go and prepare in the wiki what is indicated in

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Call for Venues Open: State of the Map 2016

2015-03-11 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux

Hello,

I am meeting Noël Van Herreweghe (Adviseur eGovernment, 
Programmamanager Open Data) who was the official representative of 
Vlanderen at OpenBelgium this Friday Maart 13 afternoon in Gent to 
speak about the project I have to make an international conference 
about OpenAccess on Sunday 25 octobre 2015 in Brussels (with the 
support of many academic and hopefully a large amount of public money).


We could (the OSM-Be community) be present at that time as well.

If some of you (at least 4 people) tell me here that they would 
support, I'll propose to Mr Van Herreweghe that we hold a SOTM-Be 
conference first at the beginning of next year (February or March) to 
get going and then a full blown SOTM conference in beginning of 
September.


One of the thing I would very much like that we get is at least the 
start of a officially supported OpenSeaMap of the Belgian coast (the 
sand up to the lower tide line belongs to Flanders, the sea belongs to 
federal Belgium) with a community gathered bathymetric data (read more 
on http://depth.openseamap.org/)


With the help of the state (both Vlaanderen en Belgium) we could equip 
some leisure boats that are at Nieuwpoort, Oostende, Blankenberghe, 
Zeebrugge with the inexpensive equipment ( 
http://depth.openseamap.org/#introduction and 
http://seesea.sourceforge.net/datalogger/index.html) and start 
collecting the data, gathering them all in OSM and them producing the 
very best sea maps with depth of the world. With worldeader dredgers in 
Belgium (Jan De Nul and De Cloedt for example) and a full blown sea map 
with crowdsourced bathylmetric data, Belgium could be proud.


For those who already own a depth measurer (un profondimètre 
électronique) coupled to a GPS, adding such a cheap logging device is 
simple. Uploading the data is also simple and cheap. Navigating in the 
summer is a pleasure. Soon we'll have good maps of the seaground next 
to our coast to show at both Belgian and world SOTM next year.


I may be dreaming, but I think that with your help we could make it 
become true.


And OpenKnowledgeBelgium could be the main organizer, with some public 
support. It would make a lot of sense to organize Belgian SOTM in a sea 
city (either Oostend or Antwerpen), and then the main SOTM in Brussels.


What do you think ?

Best regards,

Nicolas

I think if we're going to do it, we should do it right. Brussels is a 
great location for such a conference. The ULB campus has proven to be 
a great venue, look at FOSDEM, RMLL, Odoo (back when they were still 
OpenERP).

indeed.

At the beginning of May, I have an appointment with the president of 
ULB and its administrator.


I proposed that ULB hosts RMLL. I am ready to propose that ULB hosts 
STOM. 

Yes, definitively, SOTM-Belgium would be a good start, but with Fosdem 
and RMLL experiences, and enough people, I think we can definitively 
aim at SOTM. Now, we just need to build the file and enter a good 
proposal.


I'll meet soon ministers and try to get money for other projects 
related to free software, open access, open data. OSM is only the next 
step.


What about organising in the beginning of 2016 SOTM-Belgium to get some 
traction, and that during only a week-end (like Fosdem). We could 
advertise during Fosdem and also before at different local events.


Then we could go larger for a full blown SOTM at the beginning of 
September 2016.


What do you think of such a proposal ?

I am ready also to propose it to the team that is behind the 
organisation of the associalibre.be activity of free software for 
associations on April 24 (where you are all welcome).
And where Julien will come and hopefully help with the planned OSM 
activity.

Dear all,

I have proposed and obtained that RMLL be organised in Brussels in July 
2013.


I would like to propose that State of the map be organised at ULB in 
Brussels in 2016.


Who would help in structuring the "dossier" and later help with the 
local organization ?


Much thanks,

The party on April 25 is for me more an opportunity to meet and learn

During those meetings we could help novice mappers with problems, but

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Helping out OpenStreetMap Belgium Working Group! (was: 'Mapper of the month')

2015-03-06 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux

Hello,

For April 25, we still need experienced mappers.

For your information, a colleague of mine (Michel Willemse) who 
registered and will be present, is an active cyclist. He has already 
contacted Gracq, fietsersverbond ... GRACQ has reacted very positively 
... but for the date : they already have a cyclist event in the very 
nearby "parc de Bruxelles".


Michel's idea is that, if the weather permit, instead or on top of 
doing some activities to start with and describe OSM, what can be done 
during the morning ... we (or at least some of us) do something similar 
at the Parc for the cyclist, leveraging the large number of cyclists 
who will be present for Gracsq's event. We could do so simply by 
preparing paper maps to fill and some printed papers to distribute 
stating where to download mapilliary / osmand (or the best OSM mapping 
tool), what to do ... I am thinking to a 1 page, simple to read, 
instructions.


Yes, as Marc proposes, next time, we'll contact the walkers groups and 
maybe the people responsible for tourism in Brussels. We could also 
leverage them to better describe Brussels as a touristic place and map 
everything that could be touristically interessant and make links to 
descriptions (if possible text + sounds + videos) 


But this will be for another time.

I am even considering that one activity that could become repetitive, 
with a short repeat time (if handled by the tourist authorities who pay 
a leader) would be guided tours of Brussels with mapping purposes. I am 
dreaming of tours every saturday morning for example, where walkers in 
the city would discover a new location in the city and at the same time 
map everything they encounter during the visit. Can you imagine what a 
good map we would hava after one year only ?


With many information and on top, 52 guided tours on OSM.

Have a good week end,

Nicolas

Thanks Ben for the precise and long answer.

I think osm.be should be trilingual (en, nl, fr) if not 4 linguals

translate to their mothe language. I'll help with French.

[OSM-talk-be] follow up of meeting with press (La Libre)

2015-03-02 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux

Dear,

As I told Julien, Gael (former president of OSM-fr) and Jo, I have been 
meeting yesterday with journalists from LaLibre.be / the IPM media 
group (also DH). La Libre Belgique (http://lalibre.be) is probably one 
of the best French speaking newspaper.


I had met them at a crypto/datajournalisme party earlier and they came 
back to me because they wanted to know more about OSM, how it worked 
(especially the community), which tools we have, what we do, what we 
provide, how to work with us ...


We spent more than 2 hours yesterday, checking many tools on osm.org 
(location and the new routing ... that just lack the simple exchange of 
the 2 positions and the possibility to add others I think) demoing and 
editing onlide with id (eg introducing a tag 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3379643263 . By the way, is it 
correct / complete ?) 

In echange, the journalists have promised papers to inform the public 
about the mapping party on April 25.


Most probably the journalists will also come to the party.

We have concluded with the following actions :

* they will send me a spreadsheet with georeferenced data and 
informations (like for all communes in Belgium some data : population, 
ages, wealth, ...) that the would like us to examine and put in a map 
based on OSM
* we (they and us) will get in touch and organize a set of seminars 
with the Association des journalistes to teach journalists (experienced 
and students / trainees) how to use the many OSM tools and programs, 
and if possible, how to code in python/java when you are a 
datajournalist)


For such seminars, which will span beginners to advanced users, I will 
heavily rely on you, my dear fellows from OSM-be.


I told the journalists that I consider that if the data and the tools 
are free (as in speech and beer), most of the times, our times are NOT. 
And that they will have to find a way to compensate us and most 
probably pay the speakers for OSM (or our association for us to gather 
some funds).


Which Flemisch journalists / editors could we also contact ? Who is 
ready to help me in such an endeavor ?


We should start organizing in the wiki some info : who is capable of 
teaching what.

Nicolas

Dear all,

I propose to organize a mapping party in Brussels on  either
 - Saturday 25 Avril 2015  , from 9h to 13h
 - Saturday 9 May 2015

The location for the meetup as well as for the work together is ESI 
(École supérieure d'informatique ( http://osm.org/go/0EoTiW93M?m= ; 
rue royale 67, 1000 Bruxelles; very close to Central station and the 
Parliament)


My idea would be to have a mapping party aimed at beginner mappers with 
the help of advanced ones, and to focus on improving the opencyclemap 
[1] and wheelmap [2]. So everyone is welcome.


The place (ESI) is where we had the OSM meeting in October 2013, with 
easy access by train, tram, bus, metro as well as by car on a Saturday 
morning.


[1] http://opencyclemap.org/, a map aimed at cyclists ;
[2] http://wheelmap.org/, a map dedicated to help people with motor 
disabilities.


Are any of you interested in helping with the organization, the plan, 
the introductory talk, the advertisement everywhere (in newspapers, 
radios, TVs ...) ... ?


Please fill the survey on https://framadate.org/vspmbw9xba5pfasn

Any idea is welcome.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Topo guide GR for Brussels based on OSM

2014-09-23 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Très très intéressant en effet. un tout grand merci. Et félicitations
pour l'idée de l'enterview.

Ta dernière question est "Voyez-vous des possibles collaborations
futures avec OSM et ses contributeurs?"

pour laquelle la réponse est assez, voire trop courte à mon avis pour
être tout à fait satisfaisante pour nous, et le futur.

Etant donné le très bon début de discussion que tu as initié,
peut-être pourrions nous poursuivre avec des questions pour lesquelles
les réponses seraient plus simples à fournir et qui permettraient de
développer la suite. Par exemple "qui pourrions nous rencontrer dans
votre association pour poursuivre la collaboration ?"

ou concraitement "qui pourrions nous rencontrer pour discuter de
l'inclusion des sentiers GR dans OSM ?"

Mais il y a déjà des pistes de ce qui pourrait aider. Par exemple,
indiquer comment mettre en évidence des fonds de qualité imprimable.

Et peut-être aussi mettre en évidence des labels de qualité de carte
localement. Je veux dire un label qui indique pour un niveau de zoom
donné le niveau de qualité de la carte selon différents critères. Ceci
pourrait-être soit calculé soit défini par des utilisateurs. Je vois
http://k1z.blog.uni-heidelberg.de/2013/07/11/high-cartographic-quality-label-placement-on-osm-based-map/
mais je ne sais pas si cela représente exactement ce que je veux dire.

Bonne journée,

Nicolas

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Discussion with Wallonia

2014-01-16 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Dear Julien,

As you propose your self, as you take the care to give us some feedback and
ask for confirmation, and as you have initiated the contacts, I fully agree
that you represent OSM-be to discuss this plan geomatique with the region.

Best regards,

Nicolas

Re: [OSM-talk-be] biweekly hangout meetings

Let's then start on a friday evening when you, a man of experience, can
participate.

I propose that a calendar (=  some date and some topics for each dates) be
proposed in the wiki.

We can start maybe with something easy as a first topic, with something
like : for the first 10 minutes or so you show the attendees how to do
something special with JOSM . And you put a list of packages for JOSM that
we should have installed and tested before the meeting. In such a way, it
could be very productive.

What do you think about that ?

NP

[OSM-talk-be] biweekly hangout meetings

2013-10-19 Thread Nicolas Pettiaux
Dear OSM friends,

Marc and Gilbert have told us about their successful hangout meeting.

I have not had the time to read all the mail on the list these last days,
so I apologize if the proposal has already come.

Maybe we could consider planning a biweekly meeting over hangout at a given
time, something like

 every other wednesday from 21h till 22h, for example the 1st and 3rd of
each month.

Other days and/or time would be good to, provided the dates and times could
be known in advance.

So people could jsut plan to join if they want.

What do you think about such an idea ?

Regards,

Nicolas
