Re: [OSM-talk] what happens to an OSM account if the user dies
Thanks for all your condolences. She was actually one of our OSM contributor working in a catholic parish. We trained them to use OSM tools for the parish' disaster risk reduction ministry. As Mike N said, there is no risk of losing her important contributions when we did the license change.

Sorry to hear this.In the past with the license change, the contributions were summarily deleted at the time of conversion to ODBL. Fortunately I believe that the user's contributions will be preserved if there were to be another license modification in the future. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

The simple answer is "nothing at all happens" because OSM will be entirely unaware of what has happened. It has never happened as far as I am aware, but if we were contacted by the executor of the estate then no doubt we would attempt to do whatever they requested with it.

I was contacted by the Gibraltar GIS folks a while ago and talked about putting both the according-to-Spain border and according-to-UK border on the database and check consistency of the relations. I'll dig up the contacts. On the issue of disputed Spanish territories, I notice that the Perejil island is no longer part of Morocco (which is wrong, it's disputed and shouldn't be an internal ring). I wonder who ""fixed"" it. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8692572 -- Iván Sánchez Ortega ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] PD: what can I do with automatic changes done against code of conduct

The Data Working Group exists in order to give mappers a chance to escalate concerns about other mappers' edits that can't be resolved through the usual channels of communication - private messages, changeset discussions, the mailing lists or forums according to regional community preference. This would be a familiar looking sort of case for the DWG. A member of the DWG will sometimes revert changes as a result of a decision in a case, but there's nothing special about that act of reversion. You should feel as free to revert as any mapper; but don't risk your peace of mind if that looks likely to trigger an edit war in the map, which can't help. There is a Mechanical Edit Policy to do with these kind of systematic changes, and anyone has grounds to revert changes that don't follow the code of conduct: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mechanical_Edit_Policy It sounds like a forum discussion of the topic is the next step though, - Jo ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
