Re: [talk-ph] your osm workplan for 2009
A couple more ideas on my head: 1. "More organized area mapping" - we conduct a monthly mapping event (most likely virtual). For example, for each month, we focus on a certain area/city/town for mapping (roads, landuse, buildings other features). Of course we cannot label all road names unless we visit the area. This will the task of the local mapper. 2. "Q&A Mapping" - for a certain month or week, we focus on correcting map errors by clearing map bugs (wrong tags, unconnected intersections, missing labels, etc.) 3. "Feature mapping" - for a certain month or week we focus efforts on a certain feature. For example today is coastline mapping, we update coastlines using either landsat or yahoo!. Or a month/week for landuse etc. This way we can get measurable/visible updates as a group. Of course this does not have to get in the way of your usual mapping activity. Perhaps an hour would be alloted to the monthly mapping event? What do you guys think?

When we "stamped" an area "complete" we need to define what we mean by complete. We need to define a rough metric for "levels of completeness". If roughly we say: "All major roads (motorways, trunks and primarys) are mapped and labeled and the data is usable for basic road navigation" Then I can say Metro Manila is complete. I think there are some proposed evaluation/measurements for completeness in the OSM wiki we can use a framework for the Philippines. I propose we set "levels of completeness" like: level 1 - all roads are mapped and labeled level 2 - major POIs (fuel, schools, etc.) are mapped level 3 - footways and paths level 4 - landuse and buildings etc. This kind of levels maybe too car-centric but it could be a start. > 2.

I actually have a standard message in my OSM outbox on welcoming new users (some of you have received them). I monitor new contributors using the itoworld's osmmaper.

Re: [talk-ph] your osm workplan for 2009
Hi, Here's what I think about 2009 for OSM Philippines: 1. Declare Metro Manila "complete" (well, there are far too many ongoing real estate developments to completely map but the general areas should be done). 1.1 Makati CBD, Ortigas CBD, Cubao, Bonifacio Global City, Alabang has complete maps (enough to compete with the commercial paper maps of Asiatype, which I consider right now to have the best maps of Makati and Ortigas) 1.2 UP Diliman has complete public buildings (I once did a huge paper map of the central campus back in college, complete with buildings and every driveway and parking, so I plan to port it to OSM (well I started porting it last week), and add the new buildings like the Science Education complex and the Office of the University Registrar) 1.3 Upgrade the Metro Manila page on OSM Wiki so that it becomes a showcase page for mapping status and documentation for other projects. 2. Blog more about OSM on my blog. I already have a few items on my list. 3. Philippines Meetup! (Not necessarily a mapping party.) 4. More coordinated efforts. 5. Establish a "welcoming committee" to welcome new OSMers to OSM Philippines. Many of us are monitoring changes in the Philippines and if we consistently see usernames editing, then we send a message to them to join the mailing list and add themselves to the OSM WikiProject Philippines page. 6. I want to propose a couple of features for the OSM mapping features. I plan to develop them then present them to OSM Philippines for feedback and approval before presenting it to the general OSM community. So far, that's it. Of course, this list will be added to as the year progesses. Happy new year!

Re: [talk-ph] your osm workplan for 2009
Add this: Some (serious mainstream) media exposure (blogs and social networking also recommended, just to bring our message across), more volunteers, and a mapping party by summer 2009, since everyone's on vacation mode at that time. --- On Sun, 1/4/09, Maning Sambale wrote: From: Maning Sambale Subject: [talk-ph] your osm workplan for 2009 To: "OSM" Date: Sunday, January 4, 2009, 12:23 AM hi, Happy new year to all. 2008 for osm philippines is so good, but that's just so last year ;) Any plans/goals for the next twelve months?
