Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: MGRS Atlas and grids for Concepcion, Chile

2010-03-02 Thread Michal Migurski
For on-the-go use, Walking Papers now sports a UTM / USNG / MGRS grid option:
http://walking-papers.org/#make

The maps are still in spherical mercator and all that so it's not the real 
thing, but it'll do for reference in a pinch.

[OSM-talk] Evaluación colectiva de la necesidad de acceso público a imágenes de alta resolución de Chile

2010-03-02 Thread Jean-Guilhem Cailton

Queridos todos,

Proveedores de imágenes de satélite están aparentemente conservando 
imágenes de alta resolución de Chile fuera de acceso público.


Éste es un intento de evaluación colectiva de necesidad.

Basándose en su conocimiento de la situación en Chile, y, posiblemente, 
en su experiencia de cartografía de Haití gracias a la disponibilidad 
pública de imágenes de alta resolución allá,


¿podría escribir su testimonio o evaluación de la necesidad de la 
disponibilidad pública de imágenes de alta resolución de Chile?



Piense que usted está escribiendo para un periodista así que:

- Intenta que sea breve, porque él (o ella) es a menudo de prisa,

- Sea simple, porque él puede no ser un especialista de cartografía o de 
imágenes de satélite,


- Da ejemplos o hechos específicos.

- Indica de donde escribe, y si tiene calificaciones profesionales 
pertinentes,



Envía por favor su evaluación de necesidad también a 
h...@openstreetmap.org y a crisismappers-ch...@googlegroups.com.



Gracias,

Jean-Guilhem

[OSM-talk] Collective assessment of need for public high-res imagery of Chile

2010-03-02 Thread Jean-Guilhem Cailton
Dear all,

Satellite image providers are apparently holding off high-res images of 
Chile from public access.

This is an attempt at a collective assessment of need.

Based on your knowledge of the situation in Chile, and possibly of your 
experience mapping Haiti thanks to publicly available high-res imagery,

could you please write up your testimony or assessment of need for 
public high-res images of Chile ?


Think that you are writing for a journalist so:

- try to keep it short, because he (or she) is often in a hurry,

- be simple, because he may not be a specialist of mapping or of 
satellite images,

- give specific examples or facts.


Send your assessment of need to h...@openstreetmap.org and 
crisismappers-ch...@googlegroups.com .


Thanks,

Jean-Guilhem

[OSM-talk] New List: osm-professional

2010-03-02 Thread Serge Wroclawski
Based on some feedback I've received from people inside and outside
the OSM community, I've created a new list: osm-professional:

http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/osm-professional

This list will be for discussions of OpenStreetMap in work. The
initial area I see this useful in is governments looking to contribute
data to OSM, but I've already been contacted by commercial interests
looking at consuming OSM data, and so this list will be a good
cleaninghouse for discussions on those issues.

It'll also be a bit less free-form than this list. osm-professional
will be semi-moderated and while talk can get a bit rowdy sometimes,
the new list will be a bit more controlled.

If you're looking at using, or contributing to OSM in a professional
context, please consider joining this new list.

- Serge

Re: [OSM-talk] Serious consideration of "Newbie Editor"

2010-03-02 Thread Graham Jones
I have added this as a proposed student project for this year's Google
Summer of Code (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2010).
Please feel free to add to the scope of the project.
I might leave the choice of platform (Flash, Javascript, Java etc.) as a
design choice the student to make it more interesting.

Regards

Graham.

Please find the first draft version of a 8.5 x 11" (or A4 ISO page
size)
1:25,000 street atlas for Concepcion, Chile at the link provided
below.
Data is courtesy of OpenStreetMap. We would welcome additional (but
reasonable) requests, comments, and feedback. We've used some new
compression techniques that squeeze the entire atlas down to 0.8MB in
size. Just in case that's still too large, we've still made each page
individually available. Total number of 1:25,000 pages is 22.



http://mississippi.deltastate.edu/data/Chile/Concepcion_Chile_25Kscale_8511A4size_Geopdf_Street_Atlas_vDSU20100301/



As for MGRS grid data, we've completed it and posted it to:



http://mississippi.deltastate.edu/data/Chile/MGRS_Data/



You'll note we've gone ahead and created 100-m polygon data in
preparation for 1:6,000 atlas products should decent imagery become
available in a format we can use.

[OSM-talk] Setup of the wms layers for Madeira Flooding in Portugal

2010-03-02 Thread jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com
Hi all,
I have started to setup  wms server for the images of the Madeira flooding,
for tracing in JOSM.

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Madeira/Flooding

The mapfile definition is here, it works with the jpgs of DLR without change
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Madeira/Flooding/MapFile

There are numerous problems with the source files, only some (4) could be
processed,
others are not even valid for gdal, and some have kml files.

The wms layers that work are listed for each image.

please report any problems,
thanks

Mike
