Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] [OSM-talk-ie] Registration is Now Open for State of the Map!
i did not know it was common for OSS/linux/opensource/etc style projects to charge there volunteers to attend , wish i was rich computer programmer with lots of free time to kill at these events but i am not , i am the complete opposition being disabled and unable to find any neche in the computer world anymore , i found work very hard when i was a computer programmer starting out and was only in work for 4 years and the company had a restructing. I lost my job and never found another one been unemployed for 22 years now. I do not have a degree and did try to get a computer programming degree but cos i was too bad customer for the banks i could not pay for student halls (i never paid for accomodation in the end at univeristy of humberside n licoln at the hull campus) it was a nightmare. I did get a little bit of support from disabled student suppport services got diagnose with dyselixa and got a special stamp that i used on my assignments which really meant that the lectureers just gave me a pass mark on most of them some of thut programming stuff i was getting merits on. I found the degree pretty lame really and a lot of very dishearted lectureers that where being overworked and stretched across a number of different campuses. The maths lecture just told me to copy somebody elses work cos he did not have time to explain it too me. so in the end i never went back after the first year and a few grand in debt to the student loan company i guess they will never get it back. very bored mark in redditch On 3 May 2016 at 18:08, Martín Ferrari wrote: > On 02/05/16 21:56, Rob Nickerson wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> Tickets for State of the Map 2016 are now on sale.

hi i seen people posting about lidar data being intergrated with open street maps. Has anyone got the ear of the people doing the lidar scanning because it would useful/interested to scan redditch if there are over this way it would make sense. We have a number of interesting sites - the most interesting is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bordesley_Abbey Not sure if they had anything like lidar done but they sent up a drone the other day. https://youtu.be/8JgIlUbVk2w how hard is it too attached lidar to such a drone? maybe a raspberry pi project? mark ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] May Meeting (Disabilty Kurb Project)
Hi The group has been out to bewdley and did a test run of finding curbs. I was not able to join in cos of health problems felling worn out with weather n hayfever. I should really have a go on my own here around my town in redditch. got a stack of photos and a spreadsheet of gps points where there good curbs and so reasonable ones that either steep and hard work to push a manual wheelchair up and others with a reasonable size drop down to the path/road etc etc I need to get some clarification on all the different issues with curbs and come up with some form of coding and label system. first beta version of the map attached (not sure its openstreetmap) i want to know to make a seperate layer of points on top of openstreetmap? does this need to done on custom webpage and having a host etc? I not done any internet programming yet would like the challange but also very time limited too get some sort of beat/demo copy of at least a paper copy of the map of bewdley. Maybe we have a go around bromsgrove on thursday? Is taking photos with embedded gps position enough? I have a friend that can offer me some free website space? ( i am involved in another project called Disability Action Redditch and need to redo there website and i am hoping to put this Curb/Kurb project on there for now - so that should be up soon or at least a frontpage saying that DAR website going live in june/july 2015) mark croft redditch On 15 April 2015 at 19:42, Brian Prangle wrote: > A quick reminder that we're due to meet on Thurs 7 May (Election Night!). > Thise of us who were at the April meeting decided from our list on > Bromsgrove ( mainly to support mark a new mapper).

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] trying to get a Wheelchair kurb project off the ground
hi i am based in redditch and involved with a disability group call DIAL in worcestershire. We are looking at the possibility of using http://wheelmap.org/ alongside android phones too help disabled people have better access to the town centres. The main goal at the moment is try to get a record of all the drop kerbs in a small area around kidderminster maybe other parts of worcestershire depending on the volunteers we got at the moment. We would like to be able to feed this information into any future projects/apps that could use this information for satnav type app for wheelchairs/scooter users. I am all new too openstreetmaps but i use open source at home with linux and would think its the best place too put information/data is openstreetmaps i am not sure i convinced them that it is at the moment i feel like a lone voice , they keep going on about keeping the technology as simple as possible but i believe that can be achieved with open apps as well just that most of audience for open source is quite geeky and techno minded , geeks have no problems with commandline apps etc. I will try to attend the next meeting. Would anyone else like to get involved with this project? mark On 6 March 2015 at 13:49, Brian Prangle wrote: > Hi everyone > > This is what we decided last night: > > April - stick with the first Thursday of April even though it's the day > before Good Friday.
