few minor improvements:
- Add trailing slash in the URL of osmarender tiles
http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Tiles/tile"/>
to have it written uniformly
- minZoom (defaulting 1) & maxZoom levels (mapnik vs. osmarender tiles)
- bbox (if limited to not cover whole world, such as slovakia)
- slippy URLs could include layers parameter to go directly to that
layer in browser
Maybe adding lat, lon & zoom parameters would also go to specific
location...khm, but parameter namse can differ over sites, so it would
have to be sth like
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&zoom={zoom}&layers=0BFT
but that won't work if parameters are not known (url
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=&lon=&zoom=&layers=0BFT shows nothing)
, so they'd need to be taken out or have all that info in an additional
parameter named slippyPermalink or so.
(eg i want my phone to send permalinks, not just coordinates, so that
recipient can go directly to my cycling/skiing/road map and see my
whereabouts).
Permalink URLs accepting degrees or some arbitrary openlayers units as
parameters is another issue, out of the scope here.
Is that stored in some db? It could be put in main db as nodes tagged
with config=slippy_map_layer and all other keys? Clients could then
fetch it from osmxapi ... that would be convinient, but abusing the main
DB and opening clients to abuse by editors :)
Probably having it in SVN is better than abusing the DB.

Re: [OSM-talk] Missing Openaerial map from Potlatch
Is there any way to enable only "safe" data layers from OAM in Potlatch? I am writing this, because there is black and white aerial imagery of the Czech Republic from local goverment agency (UHUL), which permitted to use it for OSM mapping. This imagery is now part of OAM data. It is possible to use it with JOSM or Merkaartor, but I personally prefer Potlatch for mapping and it's a pity that I can´t use it anymore.

"Public Domain" isn't viral for derived > works. Probably the biggest thing I've learned about copyright since getting involved with OSM is how easy it is to overstate your rights as copyright holder. That's not really too surprising for those of us from the UK, which has a very maximalist attitude to geodata copyright (or at least the OS does, and it shouts loudest): if you come from the States you'll have a different take on these things. I'm not even going to attempt to pronounce definitively on OAM, as I've not researched it particularly deeply. But I'd be reasonably certain that iCubed's colour correction in itself doesn't qualify as copyright-worthy for the purposes of tracing, so there's no issue in deriving from their flavour of Landsat. It's a bit like the NPE scans where I say "you can trace from these without restriction" - that's not me being nice (well, partly :) ), that's a recognition that the acts of scanning and rectification haven't created a new copyright over the geodata. (The "severable improvement" stuff may be relevant here. Maybe. Someone who knows remotely wtf they're talking about will be able to do better than me.) With the non-Landsat OAM images, the same argument can be had. Does rectification against Google create a new copyright? I can see an argument either way: a year ago I'd have said "yes it does", now I'm leaning a bit more towards "no it doesn't". But it really comes down to how cautious/paranoid you are, and OSM always takes the ultra-cautious route, which is why Steve's asked them to be removed for now. (It's reasonably easily settled - either get Google to give the ok, or rerectify against OSM. Better still, rerectify against OSM's GPS traces alone, thereby sidestepping potential CC-BY-SA issues.) Oh yeah, and then you have to think about contracts. Let's not even go there. Side-issue: the discussion at WhereCamp about "are Google and Microsoft killing the ecosystem?" looks really interesting - maybe someone who was there could post or blog about it. But, you know, a really great way for them to nurture the ecosystem - which is ultimately in their interests - would be if they could give definitive, permissive answers to things like this. Is anyone asking? Should we? (Even better still, they could do a Yahoo with their aerial imagery - yeah, I know, oink oink flap flap.) cheers Richard ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

Then it should be OK to digitise features forwhat ever purpose over them. Unfortunately those images need to be colour adjusted first. I have done that for about 150 scenes around the Baltic sea area and Scandinavia with Open source tools (GDAL and OSSIM) but it was bigger task than I thought. Same images are also available as very nice ready made colour balanced mosaics from Geotorrent.org. Those mosaics are free for any use as well. The "Europe Landsat Mosaic" is missing half of Finland, therefore I started to make my own. I think that what is uncertain with OpenAerialMap is if the imagery that is colour adjusted by i-Cubed can be taken out from OAM, not if you can do derived work based on it.

It seems that the root filesystem got filled up on the tile server last night. There are 11GB of files in /tmp and it looks like these may be tmp from the /export tab. These may have been building up slowly for some time but there seem to have been lots of 45MB files created since midnight last night: -rw--- 1 www-data www-data 898756 2008-05-09 21:40 tmpzbDncu -rw--- 1 www-data www-data 8523541 2008-05-18 12:41 tmpZcTuaz -rw--- 1 www-data www-data 45090468 2008-05-22 00:28 tmpz-DEcg -rw--- 1 www-data www-data 45090468 2008-05-22 00:27 tmpzDz952 -rw--- 1 www-data www-data 2088385 2008-05-09 17:14 tmpZFPtjL -rw--- 1 www-data www-data 45090468 2008-05-22 00:33 tmpZH8qFz -rw--- 1 www-data www-data 45090468 2008-05-22 00:36 tmpZIUmEN -rw--- 1 www-data www-data0 2008-05-22 09:10 tmpZkfCHG Something seems to be hitting the /export very hard, there are 20+ concurrent export processes active. I don't have the time at the moment to figure out exactly what is going on so I have temporarily disabled it.

Just as a piece of information: there is also an embeddable GTK widget that acts as a mapviewer. See: http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/blog/index.php/2008/05/21/frantic/ which looks like it has some potential. spaetz ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] OSM in the today's Financial Times
Burn your Anarcho-syndicalist membership card. Sell Google. Buy OSM. Today's Financial Times European edition, page 11, carries a 3/4 page article "Way to go? Mapping looks to be the web's next big thing" with this paragraph. "At one end of the spectrum are people like Steve Coast, a British amateur who is hoping to create a communal map of the world as comprehensive as Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. Volunteers who contribute to Mr Coast's OpenStreetMap.org literally redraw the map. "You buy a GPS unit and cycle around the roads," he says. "It drops a data point every second, like Hansel and Gretel dropping breadcrumbs." Collecting those data points and joining the dots is the first step in sketching a map of the road network." A little bit condescending still but it says what we do and has the website. It is nice to see journalists beginning to make a ritual inclusion of OSM every time they write about mapping. Good work Steve. Mike ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk

The precompiled binary maps will run on a PPC just as well as on i386. However, the osm2navit tool to produce these maps will not work on a Big Endian platform. spaetz ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
