Re: [OSM-talk] Adding Wikidata tags to 70k items automatically
To compare an alternative: A live service could look up the relationship in real time as a person clicked. Meaning you could make a map with the wikidata feature, without adding anything to OSM. Is simply using OSM as a cache for the output of a script that can be run later? ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Yes, IMHO we could have the chance for a great visibilty, but I can not see the NY bid here anymore ... http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_2015/Call_for_venues/Toronto,_Canada it was there, but withdrawn, so it is pointless to discuss about SoTM 2105 in NY. -- ## Manfred ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

The distance from Tokyo to Birmingham is about 9,500 km. On the other hand, the distance from Buenos Aires to New York is a comparable 8,500 km. So I wouldn't say that having SotM be in New York after Buenos Aires is relatively close.

Hello there, At the beginning that this discussion, I guessed it could turn sour rather quickly. Let's just say that, as a mere contributor, I would just not understand if NYC were attributed the SOTM 2015 whithout having submitting an official request that would be considered on the same level as all other proposals. I would disaprove any shortcut, UN or not UN. After the saga of the OSMF Board, I guess a second such epic situation would do no good to the contributor community.

Re: [OSM-talk] State of the Map US 2015 in New York, NY, June 6-8
I meant that the UN General Assembly Hall is an appropriate venue for a combined Stated of the Map (EU, US, World, etc.). There was such a suggestion. It would be a challenge to fill up this hall with the capacity of 1800+ in any case. If it is a large combined event, it could generate positive international publicity for the project. The UN has got headquarters and large halls in three other cities, - Nairobi, Vienna, and Geneva. So this approach could be continued later in other cities too. And there is still more than enough of time till June to obtain a visa. brgds Oleksiy On 12.11.2014 13:22, SomeoneElse wrote: On 12/11/2014 03:13, Oleksiy Muzalyev wrote: They are technically extraterritorial through a treaty agreement with the U.S. government (1).

To my mind, since OSM is a worlwide project, the SOTM's should play like all international events and should happen around the world, not excluding any one. And like football world cup or olympic games, it should target a kind of "continents rotation policy" and not exclusively "Europe or US" (idealy). > This conference will be > very visible and we can't have stuff like that happening, so we opted for > the US group. Visible... in US. This is always the same. The conference is mostly visible in the country where it is organized. Your request and arguments sound a bit too much US centric and will probably hurt a large part of the community.
