The '6map' cron script at wolkenstein relays on a so-called 'markers' file
under /var/lib/misc/wolkenstein.debian.org/ and this file is empty too:

Therefore, no DD locations are added to the earth image.

I fail to see where exactly this markers file is populated from.

Any pointers?

The translation from what is in LDAP to anonymised co-ordinates
happens in this function in userdir-ldap. I would suggest applying
that to all the co-ordinates in LDAP to find out which one this
correlates to. Please do not mention on IRC or the lists which person
that correlates to as that would be an invasion of privacy.

Developer Locations Issue

Hi,

I'm working on a script that produces KML from the list of Debian Developer
locations. I'm taking this list from
https://www.debian.org/devel/developers.coords as it looks to be the easiest
place to grab an anonymised list.

This list looks to be copied to the webserver by the script at

From IRC:

It works nicely, but it's pretty large here; about 30% of the map widget

To be fair, Google maps has worked without javascript for a while now,
offering image maps instead of the horrible "slippy" one.  Is that
not available through the API yet?

Maybe you could put the old static map in a  on the same page

Just as google maps is not useful without javascript, this map does
nothing without it (it uses the google maps api). You don't need the
others capabilities you listed.

As mentioned before, some people would still want the previous version

New *Improved* Developer Locations map

2007-08-14 Thread James Treacy
Hello all,
I was not alone in not being completely happy with the second version
of the developer map so I bit the bullet and wrote my own program to
aggregate high concentrations of developers. The results can be found
in http://people.debian.org/~treacy/developer-locations.html . For
comparison, the previous version of clustering is still available at
http://people.debian.org/~treacy/developer-locations-v2.html .

Of course, my original version is still on the web pages at
http://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc

This version should address all the criticisms of version 2. Even
though more markers are displayed at a time it is actually faster than
the previous version. Let me know if you think it is too slow, in
which case I'll drop the number of markers some more.

If you see a (small) marker that looks out of place, send me the
number of the marker (hold mouse over the marker) and I can send the
developer a mail to fix their coords. Unfortunately only a small
percentage of those contacted so far have responded.

Enjoy.

I'll look into generating a large map using google maps. If it can't
generate something better than the previous one, we can continue
generating the old one too.

I have upped the number of partitions in the grid. It looks much

I agree that clustering is a good idea.

However, it might be usefull to e.g. say "a cluster can at maximum be 50
(or 30?) developers" or so - just to make sure we don't get too few
points on parts of the map with many developers (it works quite well if
one is not on the "view the world"-size). I think that even the first
map should give you a good graphical impression of the geographically
distribution of Debian. (It would become better if the clusters could be
of different size depending on the numbers.)

Well, I wouldn't like it for my data - but my data is inaccurate by way
more anyways :)), so I don't mind too much for the map.

Without clustering the map is too slow to be usable. The clustering
algorithm creates a grid and uses the large marker whenever there
are more than a (configurable) number of markers in a square. I'll
try refining the grid a bit and upping the number per grid to see
what happens. For usablility, the goal is to keep less than about 150
markers on the screen at a time.

One idea I had was to overlay the number of people represented by a marker
to the center of the marker.

Is this really a concern? All the public knows is that an anonymous DD
lives within 1km of that spot (actually about .7km east-west at 45 deg
N or S).

I was considering creating my own clustering algorithm until I
stumbled upon http://www.acme.com/javascript/#Clusterer

>From my tests, the only time the clustering doesn't work properly is
when the view crosses the international date line. If you zoom out all
the way (multiple views of the earth are present) you will notice that
Google maps only displays markers in the center area.

This was discussed when the developer db was originally created. As
with all things debian, there were a few people with strong (extreme?)
views about privacy and in the end a very conservative approach was
taken. Thus we have anonymous markers rounded to .01 degrees, which
works out to about 1km accuracy at the equator.

In the default view, I think we have too few markers - at least in the
area I could judge it, that is Europe (it really looks like we only have
a few people there, whereas with the old map, you can get a good
impression where the debian-dense is higher).

The other issue I have is that the data is too detailed in lots of cases
-  one can easily spot which place exactly certain DDs live (I don't
have a personal issue with this though, because I just gave the
coordinates of the town I live in which isn't secret anyways).

I like it very much, it is so cool. Personally I have been trying to
do the same thing but had been stuck at the clustering problem. I've
tried yours, initially markers are clustered well, but after a few
zoom in and out and panning, the clustering fails to work, and then
lots of red markers are shown instead, causing my browser to grind to
a halt.

I hope this map can replace the current one in the future, after all
the bugs are flushed out.
I'd also like developer names to be shown for the markers too, but
people will start to think about the privacy issues... and currently
db.debian.org doesn't report developers' coordinates to the general
public, doing so may require some kind of changes...

New Developer Locations map available

2007-08-03 Thread James Treacy
Hello web guys.
I hope there are still some people here who remember me. :)

Having never been keen on the Debian Developer Locations map(*), I
decided it was time to create something better. Please take a look at
http://people.debian.org/~treacy/developer-locations.html
I'd like to hear what others think of it.

The cool thing about this is that it uses google maps so it allows
you to zoom in on areas you are interested in. Notice how clustering
reduces the number of markers in areas of high concentration of
developers (necessary or the map is too slow). As you zoom in the
density decreases and fewer markers are visible on the screen so more
are displayed.

Of course, being able to zoom in makes mistakes in the data more
obvious. In particular, there are a number of people who claim to
live in the water. To be fair, some of those near the coast may have
entered a correct location but rounding has placed them on the wrong
side of the coastline.

To help developers get their coordinates in the correct format
and check to see the effect of rounding on their location I also
created http://people.debian.org/~treacy/coordinate-lookup.html .
I think this should be linked from the web site in
http://www.debian.org/devel/developers.loc (and some of the other
options for generating coordinates removed).

As an aside, I think that [+-]ddd.d should be the only format
mentioned for the format of coordinates. Looking through the developer
coordinates, I noticed too many people make mistakes in generating or
entering other formats (what does an angle of 5924 mean?).

If there is interest in using this on the web site, I'd like to wait
a few weeks before switching. I will be contacting developers with
questionable coordinates and would like to give them a chance to fix
them. A few questionable locations on the current map does not look
too bad but I have found over 40 problems when using the new map.

(*)I feel free to criticize the map as I originally wrote the scripts to
generate it.

I agree, it found my home town quite without much fuss. I'll move it up.

I find that the best tool is the `Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names', would
you consider moving it to the top of the list?
