David - could you give a lat/long for the area? Potlatch's approach is to faithfully use the Yahoo API, to stay on the right side of the legal agreement. The only "tweaking" it does is that it tries to automatically hide the Yahoo layer if all the tiles are blank, because presenting a first-time mapper with a load of tiles saying "Sorry, there is no data for this area" is pretty confusing. That does therefore, I'm afraid, preclude zooming in beyond what Yahoo offers, but the screen magnifier suggestion is a good one. cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Re: [OSM-talk] Users whose contributions are in the public domain
I don't understand why some users want their work in PD. The goal of osm is to have a map of the world freely available for anyone. But with PD someone (eg google) can take all the work of osm, correct and complete it, and copyright it in a way that osm cannot reuse the modification. So the copyrighted map will be better than the free one. The license cc by-sa is a good protection against that as it will always allow osm to use derivate work of the original map.

You could say, in the same way, that OSM should be topographical (instead of topological) because databases don't support topology well. But that doesn't make sense: OSM is an API designed to allow people to collect the data: Not a GIS system designed to allow people to interact with the data with GIS tools.

Re: [OSM-talk] Hi-vis vest with OpenStreetMap Logo & "Surveyor" Text
Just as a bit more info, I meant to add that these vests are fully certified to EN471, class 2 standards and have double 5cm HiVis reflective banding. Also, the sizes I have quoted below are chest sizes in inches. I have also corrected a typographic error in the original mockup pictures, whereby I had the address of the OSM website as a .com rather than a .org domain (thanks to Andy for picking up on this). The mockups and the graphic have been corrected accordingly.

It is carried out by BSD'lers versus GPL'ers constantly and depending on what your respective definition of freedom is, each side can be right. There is just no universal answer what constitutes "free use". As a PD'ler I can tell you that I just want to avoid that we have to display a 1000 names of contributors in a corner of our map, that I would like to be able to overlay data on an OSM map without having to worry whether I am allowed to do that, etc. > The license cc by-sa is a good protection against that as it will > always allow osm to use derivate work of the original map. If you have ever looked at our legal list, you will have noticed that it is basically impossible to follow that license, that we don't even get it right ourselves. Nobody can tell you what will constitute a derivative work and what not. If you ask for permissive uses and the only answer you will get from the organization that produces the data "ask a lawyer, we can't/won't tell you", then that license is clearly not right. spaetz ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

The user could (optionally) specify this threshold when requesting data. This way one could avoid bad tracks when enough good ones available and fall back on the bad ones when there's no alternative. Alternatively a request would still return all Tracks but each track is returned along with it's quality level so that the editors can blank out certain levels on demand.

Hello, One of the coolest things about SOTM07 was hearing from OSMers in different countries all around the world. Over the last 12 months we've expanded even futher into the un-openly-mapped regions of the planet. So far we have people from Germany & Spain talking about the mapping efforts in those countries, but there are many, many more countries with growing OSM communities. So if your country isn't represented yet, why not sign up to give a talk at this years SOTM? Tell us about how you've been building an OSM community, where you've been getting data from, the local problems you've faced or your plans for the future.

And while they're taking the data, correcting and completing it, we'll be continuing to update and improve our copy, so what have they gained? Imagine if Wikipedia was public domain, and you made the same argument there. Certainly one could take a complete copy of Wikipedia, try to correct all errors, and publish it as your own work, but I doubt you could ever truly create something better than the mass of Wikipedia users. For me, it seems ironic that a project spawned from licensing issues over map data has found itself in a situation where licensing issues are still a problem, and hopefully the license update will resolve these and make using OSM data easier.

You are not telling us how you run scons. So the first obvious question is: Are you just doing? $ python scons/scons.py # python scons/scons.py install Or are you telling it where to look for the libraries? $ python scons/scons.py PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/include/postgresql ... # python scons/scons.py install PGSQL_INCLUDES=/usr/include/postgresql ... -- m.v.g., Cartinus ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

And now that it's been brought to the attention of the list, I'd bet that gets done shortly.

I just discovered it, and it seems to be quite full featured. It's a GPS data management utility, written in GTK. It has support for a bunch of different background map tiles, including OSM from Mapnik, Osmarender and Maplint. I can get it to run on Windows and display a GPX track, but attempting to download any map tiles (from any source) causes it to crash. I presume it works better under Linux, but I haven't tried it yet. Karl ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
