[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap and the Ada Initiative #osm4ada

[Alan McConchie]

The Ada Initiative [1] is an organization doing important work supporting women 
in open technology and culture, and right now they're raising money to fund 
their work for the next year. Thanks to Kathleen Danielson (diary entry here 
[2]) there is now an OpenStreetMap campaign to donate to Ada before their 
fundraising deadline on October 8th. We set a goal of USD $ 2,048 for this 
campaign, and we're already 25% of the way there after only a few hours!

To donate to Ada and show that diversity is important to the OpenStreetMap 
community, please use this OSM donation link: 
https://adainitiative.org/donate/?campaign=openstreetmap

You can use the hashtag #osm4ada to show OSM's support of the Ada Initiative in 
any social media posts about the campaign.

Note, to my knowledge there is no specific OSM-related Ada activities that will 
be supported by these funds. Your donation is primarily to help the Ada 
Initiative's work in general. However, the more of us donate to the Ada 
campaign on behalf of OSM, the more those donations will count as informal 
votes for more OSM+Ada collaboration in the future.

[OSM-talk] Roll your own cigarette tag

[Badita Florin]

I will start with my dilemma for RYO cigarette
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll-your-own_cigarette and why any of the
actual tag are not solving the dilemma.

In Romania, almost 99 % of people smoke normal cigarette.
In Bucharest, the capital, where around 2 million people live, there are
more people that smoke RYO cigarette. Not that much, but more persons
smoke.

But the dilemma comes like this.

Sometimes we have tabacco shops that sell just RYO cigarette, meaning
tabacco, rolling papers, and filters. Without usual cigarettes

Or the most common thing where we have cigarette plus :

   - Sometimes we have a kiosk, or a supermarket that sell RYO cigarette,
   meaning tabacco that you use for RYO cigarette, rolling papers, and filters.
   - But sometimes we have a kiosk, or a supermarket that sell just rolling
   papers, and filters.
   - And sometimes we have a kiosk, or a supermarket that sell just tabacco
   that you use for RYO cigarette

http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=shop&value=tobacco#overview

Maybe cause in the west all the shops just have both versions, nobody had
this dilemma before.

What tag / sub-tag you say it should be used / created for doing this ?

Thanks,
Florin Badita

[OSM-talk] Weekly OSM is back

[Manfred A. Reiter]

Hi OSM,

After a short interruption Weekly OSM is back!

We would like to thank Pascal Neis for all his dedicated work to produce
the weekly until now. We are greatful for all the suggestions he has given
us.

The new weekly will follow the numbering of the German Wochennotiz to honor
its main source of information and starts with weekly 218. You can access
the most recent Weekly OSM via www.weeklyosm.eu. This will be updated every
week.

Spanish, Romanian ar online as well. A Turkish versions of the weekly will
be published soon.

You can also follow us on Twitter via @weeklyosm

We would like to thank Pascal Neis for all his dedicated work to produce
the weekly until now. We are greatful for all the suggestions he has given
us.


Kind regards,

The Weekly OSM Team:

Carlos Alonso, Susana Salvador Diaz,
Anthony Bennett, Itziar Pardo
Uwe Engstler, Gerhard Faß ,
Madalina Ionescu, Manfred Reiter

[OSM-talk] Release openstreetmap-carto v2.22.0

[Matthijs Melissen]

Dear all,

Today, v2.22.0 of the openstreetmap-carto stylesheet has been
released and rolled out to the openstreetmap.org servers. It might
take up to 48 hours before all tiles show the new rendering.

Changes include:

* Major changes in landcover labelling. Landcover labels are now
rendered oblique, and in the colour of the landuse they belong to. The
minimum zoom level on which the labels appear, as well as their font
size, now depends on the size of the landcover object. All rendered
landcover labels now have their name rendered. The new rendering might
highlight tagging errors, so all mappers are invited to inspect their
local area for possible problems. Note that adding the name tag to the
landuse area rather than to a node generally yields better results.
* Changes in island and islet labelling. Islets (place=islet) now have
their name rendered. The minimum zoom level on which islands and
islets appear now depends on the island/islet size. The area size can
only be used when the island/islet is tagged as area, not as point, so
tagging islands/islets as area is recommended. Note that smaller
place=island objects can now be retagged as place=islet without losing
their label in the main renderer.
* Bus stops now have their name rendered.
* Apart from bridge=yes, we now also render the bridge keys boardwalk,
cantilever, covered, low_water_crossing, movable, trestle, and
viaduct. When applicable, bridges can now be retagged using the
correct key.
* Ferries now have their name rendered (when applicable), and
overlapping ferry lines now look better.
* Gates are no longer rendered on zoom level 15.
* Streams, ditches and drains are now rendered slightly wider.
* Long place names are now wrapped.
* Aerodrome names are now wrapped.
* Various bug fixes.

For a full list of commits, see
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/compare/v2.21.0...v2.22.0.

As always, we welcome any bug reports at
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues.

Re: [OSM-talk] iD usability test results

[John Firebaugh]

Hi Jan,

Thank you for your work; rigorous usability testing of this sort is quite
valuable. I've skimmed parts of your thesis and will read it more
thoroughly this week. I think there are many improvements we can make to iD
based on your findings, and we are starting to open tickets on them in the
issue tracker.

cheers,
John
