[OSM-talk] Post-bot redactions finished
Hello all, As of approximately 5:30 PM PDT on Saturday (around midnight UTC) the last UMP object list finished. This was the result of about a week of a few hours a day of redaction bot wrangling, many more hours of CPU time of unattended redactions, and many hours of help from others. It is thanks to the many people that helped that the total time taken was considerably less than initially estimated. The Data Working Group believes that all CC BY-SA related redaction concerns reported have been investigated and redacted as necessary. There remain some cases of copying left to be investigated but these are cases unrelated to the ODbL switch. If there are additional cases of copy & paste remapping or other new redaction-related problems they can be dealt with by the takedown procedure. As a practical matter the best way to supply information about copyright complaints is a list of changesets. If anyone who reported a problem believes that parts of it have not been redacted please contact d...@osmfoundation.org with details about where it has not been redacted, ideally in the form of omitted changesets or specific versions of objects where infringing data was introduced. This does not mean that the license has changed. I am not in a position to comment on any other tasks that need to be completed before a switch to ODbL.

More details: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Akihabara_mapping_party_20120905 Shu Higashi For anyone coming from outside Japan and likes gadgets this is a must do. Akihabara is basically a small town consisting of 100% electronics stores: white goods, computers, gadgets, amateur radio, components ... everything. I do not know if the situation has changed in the years since I was last there, but Japanese companies ran a international products on a two-year cycle but domestic on 6-months, so you will find all sorts of wow new things. I will try and be there, Mike ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Higashi-san, Very cool place for a mapping party! If you're in Tokyo and have a time, I definitely recommend you to join. I will add this also to the SotM website.

[OSM-talk] opendata diagram
I realized a diagram including all the most important opendata licenses that are now available, and classifying them according to their legal effects (attribution and share-alike, attribution only, public domain). I hope this work can be useful to better understand the actual situation of geodata (open)licensing: http://aliprandi.blogspot.it/2012/05/opendata-graph.html Bye, -- Simone Aliprandi - http://www.aliprandi.org ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] Josm Import Images failing with modified geotiff images
The US Forest Service offers geotiff images for the US. These topo images contain creeks, rivers, Forest Services Road and other features desirable in OSM The images are a better quality than the ones available in josm. They are easily imported into josm for tracing. However, they are not perfect. If the images had a transparent background they could be used along with the Bing images. Much like the TIGER2011 images available in josm. Forest Services Web site: fsgeodata.fs.fed.us/rastergateway/states-regions/states.php After converting the images to have a transparent background, they do not load into josm. The failure is lack of memory with a suggestion to assign more memory to java. Even assigning all available memory still doesn't allow the images to load. Each image is around 10 to 14 megs, only slightly larger than the original. Has anyone else run into this problem and found a fix? The modified images appear to be correct. They load okay in QGIS. Thanks, -- Clifford ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] opendata diagram
Forgive my incompetence, but what about other open licenses? Say, CC-non-commercial, Cc-no-derivatives, and a whole bunch of combinations of by, sa, nc, nd? Em you consider them not-open? I'm sure there are more examples, I only know about cc ones.

Re: [OSM-talk] opendata diagram
Non-commercial only licenses discriminate against fields of endeavor and are definitely not open. See 6 of http://opensource.org/docs/osd or 8 of http://opendefinition.org/okd/. No derivative licenses are also not open - you can't modify the data. Another explanation is http://freedomdefined.org/Permissible_restrictions#Restrictions_which_are_no t_permissible. CC doesn't claim that any NC or ND license is open either.

Re: [OSM-talk] opendata diagram
My point was, I thought there are many more open licenses than listed in the picture.

Imo, since the diagram only claims to list "the most important opendata licenses", it does exactly what it says on the tin.
