Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Carto release v2.43.0

Today, v2.43.0 of the openstreetmap-carto stylesheet (the default
stylesheet on openstreetmap.org) has been released. It has not yet
been rolled out to the openstreetmap.org servers.


I'll just add to this to say that on this occasion there will probably 
be a short delay as we are in the middle of working through a cycle of 
software updates on the tile servers.


This release will likely be deployed next weekend once the third tile 
server has been upgraded.

Will this upgrade bring any interesting features and optimizations or 
it's just a typical system/security upgrade?

Well it brings the tile servers to mapnik 3 which may have a few 
immediate effects like improved rendering of asian scripts but which 
mostly allows future stylesheet updates to use mapnik 3 features.

That's great! This should be an improvement in itself, but also a base 
for other changes in osm-carto:

Re: [OSM-talk] SotM 2016: Brussels

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi,

Attending State of the Map 2016? It's not all about the talks - some of the
best ideas come from the chance meeting / crazy ideas-lab sessions. You can
share your ideas for informal meetings (Birds of a Feather sessions) online
so that you can start to discuss and gather interest:

https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2016/09/06/gather-your-birds-of-a-feather-at-state-of-the-map/

See you in Belgium!

Best,

*Rob*

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenDroneMap and Portable OSM (POSM)

[Dan Joseph]

Hi Rob,

Yes, that's the general plan. A more detailed overview of our initial
development goals are as follows:

1.Integrating OpenDroneMap with POSM:
○Installing and configuring ODM components within the POSM base system
○Determining approximate limitations on the number of source photos
that can be handled by standard POSM hardware
2.Uploading images:
○Raw image upload (unprocessed images sourced from a sUAS) using a web
form and/or fileshare
○Copying / uploading post-processed GeoTIFFs to POSM using a web form
and/or fileshare
3.GeoTIFF processing (externally sourced scenes and/or output from ODM):
○Chunking input images into Web Mercator tiles at the TMS zoom level
most closely corresponding to its native resolution
○Pyramiding (downsampling and merging) of generated tiles to produce
tiles for all appropriate zooms
4.Simple web interface for managing processing pipelines:
○Display progress in a web view while processing proceeds
○Permit cancellation, restart of ODM and tile processing
5.Consumption of tiled imagery for digitization through iD, etc:
○Output an MBTiles archive suitable for downloading, excerpting,
sharing with other tools, and serving up as an online TMS

People from both Red Cross and Stamen will be at SOTM.

All the best,
Dan

[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Awards - The Voting Has Started

[Ilya Zverev]

Hi everyone,

Some of you have submitted nominees for the OSM Awards, and two days ago 
we (as in some members of CWG, SotMWG and the Board) have discussed them 
and compiled a short list: five nominees for each category.


Now the final stage of the OSM Awards begins: please open the website, 
http://awards.osmz.ru , and choose one nominee for each of the six 
categories, who you think has contributed the most and deserves an award 
slightly more than others.


Although it is a hard task: imo all of the shortlisted nominees deserve 
praise. Thank you for what you are doing, please do not stop. And maybe 
even not only shortlisted.


But this is an award, and it should have its winners, so now it is up to 
you who receives the award on the Sunday of the State of the Map. So 
again, go and vote:


http://awards.osmz.ru

You can alter your choice up until the voting closes, by September 22nd.

Hi Ilya,

Thank you for organising the OSM Awards.
Anyway, I have a small technical problem. It seems nothing happened when I
click on 'Submit my votes' button.
I don't know whether my votes are submitted or not. I'm using Safari
Version 9.1.3 (11601.7.8).

Cheers,
Emir

[Microgamer]

As I can see from the source-code, the data is submitted. It seems like you 
could change your vote, because the JavaScript-file ticks the boxes, you have 
ticked in your submission.

Am I right ilya?

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Awards - The Voting Has Started

[Oleksiy Muzalyev]

The same here. After clicking Submit the page seemed to reload, but 
there was no confirmation message, something like: "Your vote was 
submitted successfully. Thank you." I voted with the latest Firefox 
48.0.1 on Mac.


And after reloading of the page the choices (radio buttons) remained 
selected, as if inviting to vote again, but i did not press Submit 
button again, the second time, as I was afraid that it would count my 
vote twice.

[OSM-talk] set up your own miniworkshop at SotM

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

State of the Map is the best place imaginable to meet other people working
on OpenStreetMap. Maybe you feel like no-one in your local area shares your
specific interest - but you're sure to find them at State of the Map.

Conferences like this are always at least as interesting for the random
encounters you might have, as for the presentations itself. But at SotM, we
organize these encounters so you won't miss out. They're called Birds of a
Feather, and you can start organizing one now.

Check out the blog post for more information:
