Re: [OSM-talk] Skybox release aerial imagery

[Mikel Maron]

Hello

I've been talking with the Google Crisis Response team, and they have confirmed:

* Imagery released under Skybox for Good can be digitized into OSM under OSM's 
license.
* The attribution requirement can be fulfilled by attributing Skybox in a given 
changeset and/or feature comment/tag. As well as noted on 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors
* While it's not a requirement, interested to start conversation about more 
robust attribution down the line, ala the dynamic attribution in Google Maps 
(something like an API to view attribution for a particular area, to integrate 
into web viewers)
* HOT is welcome to make additional requests. 

They want to know the best place to formally let OSM know the above. If the 
gist of the above sounds reasonable, I think the best place to announce would 
be on legal-talk@

While we are working on the legal details, it would also be worthwhile for us 
to test the suitability of the imagery for OSM tracing. Is the geo-referencing 
and resolution fit for our purposes?

Cheers
Mikel

[OSM-talk] Steve's better map

[Jukka Rahkonen]

Hi,

Steve Coast promised to make the best address map of the world by 
himself if he will not be elected into the board of the OSM Foundation:

https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2014-October/002713.html
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmf-talk/2014-October/002761.html

"If I don't get elected then I'll continue focusing on address data 
outside of OSM. It's frankly the easier route but it would be a real 
shame if OSM isn't the venue to make it happen."


I have been thinking that perhaps that would be the best route anyway 
even if Mr. Coast gets elected to the board. By my own experience about 
the addresses in OSM they feel fuzzy and somewhat difficult to utilize 
outside OSM. Addresses given to building polygons are quite simple to 
move to centroids of the polygons for making a point layer of all the 
addresses but for example finding the municipality or city for the 
address points is tedious because administrative units are defined as 
relations which are also somewhat fuzzy and all too often broken.


With a dedicated database and tools for addresses the route could really 
be easier and faster and I would not feel ashamed at all while importing 
addresses from this master address database into OSM later.

That sounds good.

I would expect that introducing them to LWG would be best.  Then they
and LWG can agree on an announcement, text and locations, and
coordinate their timing.

Best regards and happy mapping,

Richard

The funny/sad part of that quote is that "getting elected to the osmf
board" and "deciding wether to work on addresses inside the main osm
db or outside it" really should be independant propositions. I can
think of a few reasons why one would try to link the two, but they're
all bad. For the sake of diplomacy, I'll assume that I missed the good
valid reasons.

Agreed.  Jukka points to ideas that could enhance OpenAddresses, There is
some good momentum behind OA already, let's get together and improve that
project.

[OSM-talk] Release openstreetmap-carto v2.23.0

[Matthijs Melissen]

Dear all,

Today, v2.23.0 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:

* Various small rendering changes to icon labels.
* New icons for place of worship, windmill, hostel, and camping; minor
icon changes for cinema, recycling, and hairdresser.
* The tag tourism=bed_and_breakfast is no longer rendered - please use
tourism=guest_house instead.
* Tertiary roads are now rendered yellow from z12 instead of z13.
* The tag shop=mall is now rendered like landuse=retail.
* Barriers, level crossings, and mini roundabouts no longer block text
from appearing.
* The places of worship of Jehova's witnesses are no longer rendered as a cross.
* The rendering of highway=track areas has been changed.
* Large national parks and nature reserves now have their name
rendered along the outline.
* There is no longer a gap rendered between adjoining polygons of the same type.
* Various other bug fixes.

For a full list of commits, see
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/compare/v2.22.0...v2.23.0.

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

[OSM-talk] OpenAerialMap and UAVs

[Blake Girardot]

Hi all,

In case anyone is interested the OpenAerialMap project has a Google 
Group for discussion of things related to the project.


My main interest is in using small UAVs to generate aerial imagery and 
there has been some amazing pilot project work already done with small 
UAV imagery in Haiti.


A nice write up about it and some video is here (French and English):

http://www.cartong.org/news/mission-uav-openstreetmap-en-ha%C3%AFti-premier-bilan

A more detailed illustration of the OpenAerialMap plans can be found here:

http://hotosm.github.io/OpenAerialMap/

So, if anyone else is interested in any of the OAM project parts or 
using UAVs for aerial imagery, please join up with the Google Group 
email list and introduce yourself.


Regards,
Blake

Well - it might be your decision what to render and what not, but you
shouldn't go so far as to request that people misrepresent reality in
their mapping.

A private residence where a single bedroom is made available to tourists
is certainly no "guest house" and shouldn't be tagged as such! It is,
and remains, a "bed_and_breakfast".

Frederik

[OSM-talk] Fwd: [okgis] FW: Google Is Giving Away Up-to-Date Satellite Images For Free

Wonder if we can get someone to reach out and see if we can get this
available to us under an amicable license.  Seems to be making the New York
and Oklahoma GIS circles right now.

Thought this would be good information to share….from another listserv.

Google acquired skybox, and they're giving away free imagery for good

Re: [OSM-talk] Steve's better map

[Jason Remillard]

Hi,

The OpenAddress project is great, but we still need addresses in OSM.
It would make sense to write OSM importing (and updating) software
that is assumes OpenAddress as an input, rather than the raw files
released by official GIS committees. By standardizing on the output of
the OpenAddress project, most of the remaining work needed for an OSM
address import is the same, therefor we have a chance of getting good
OSM import software written and a standardized processes that can be
optimized.

Thought I have never seen this idea expressed on the OSM lists, I
assume this is part of the long term vision for the OpenAddress
project. If a commercial OSM user (or the board) wants to encourage
getting addresses into OSM at a large scale, this would be the way to
go.

Jason
