Re: [OSM-talk] [Hot-francophone] Haïti : CNIGS aerial cover / couverture aérienne du CNIGS

2016-10-25 Thread Cristiano Giovando
Hi Jean-Guilhem,

Thanks for making this imagery available. Can you kindly clarify the
license and the exact geographic footprint? It would also be really
helpful to have more details about accuracy and whether ground control
was used in the orthomosaicing process.

With regards to your messages to the HOT list I believe they are being
moderated for reasons related to previous conduct. Since this is not
your first complaint, would you please take the lead to draft a
proposal for governance of the HOT mailing list?

As you said, the HOT list is open all humanitarian OSM mapping groups,
and a proposal on the wiki could be a concrete first step for the
community to discuss and move forward.

Here are also some materials that may be helpful or could be referenced:

Thanks!

This is true for most official databases in so-called "first-world
countries". The content of official databases should never be considered
superior to an actual survey.

I think you misunderstood my purpose. I was not contacting OSM to complain
about illegal signs. I was responding to the original poster and urging
caution about relying on signs. At least in my jurisdiction, official
databases seem to me to be more reliable than signage regarding property
rights.

Perhaps there are parts of the world in which official databases are
incomplete, outdated, or nonexistent, in which case mappers could adapt to
local conditions as best as possible.

[OSM-talk] Fwd: [HOT] Geospatial devroom at FOSDEM 2017

2016-10-25 Thread Pine W

Subject: [HOT] Geospatial devroom at FOSDEM 2017
To: "hot"

Call for Presentations

Please forward!

FOSDEM is a free and non-commercial event bringing together about 5000
developers in Brussels, Belgium. The goal is to provide open source
software developers and communities a place to meet and share thoughts. The
participation is free of charge, although donations are welcome. The next
edition will take place on 4 - 5 February 2017. For the third (!) time
there will be a Geospatial devroom and will be happening on Sunday 5/2/2017!

Geospatial technologies and mapping used to be specialist work, but
nowadays location and maps are becoming part of many projects/applications,
which usually use only a small subset of the possibilities the data and
software offer.

The geospatial devroom is the place to talk about open, geo-related data
and software and their ecosystem. This includes standards and tools, e.g.
for spatial databases, and online mapping, geospatial services, used for
collecting, storing, delivering, analysing, and visualizing purposes.

We welcome submissions about:

   -

   Web and desktop GIS applications;


   -

   Collaborative editing / versioning of geodata and metadata;
   -

   Interoperable geospatial web services and specifications;
   -

   Collection of data using sensors / UAVs / satellites;
   -

   Geo-analytic algorithms / libraries;
   -

   Geospatial extensions for classical databases (indexes, operations) and
   dedicated databases;
   -

   Big geodata, scalable GIS applications;
   -

   Volunteered Geographic information - Crowdsourced geodata.


HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL FOR A TALK

Are you thrilled to present your work to other open source developers?
Would you like to run a discussion? Any other ideas?

Please submit your proposal at:

 https://fosdem.org/submit

Make sure to select the 'Geospatial devroom' as 'Track'. If you have an
account from previous years, you should be using the same.

Please specify in the notes if you prefer for your presentation either a
short timeslot (lightning talks ~10 minutes) or a long timeslot (20 minutes
presentation + discussion). However, note that time slots are indicative
and will be assigned according to the timing of the session.

The DEADLINE for submissions is Thursday **1st December 2016**.

Notification of acceptance will be sent to the Authors by 11/12/2016 at the
latest.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with
the organisers of the devroom at fosdem-geospatial at gisky.be!

presentations of our previous two editions: [1,2]

[OSM-talk] Haïti : CNIGS aerial cover / couverture aérienne du CNIGS

2016-10-25 Thread Jean-Guilhem Cailton
(Version en français ci-dessous)

Hi,

An aerial reference cover of the western end of Tiburon Peninsula has
been made available by CNIGS (Centre National de l'Information
Géographique et Spatiale), Haiti national mapping agency. It was taken
in 2014-2015, with a resolution of 25 cm. It is hosted by OpenStreetMap
France. A few tiles and strips are currently missing, due to the
difficulty of connections with Haiti.

If you are to realign data or images, you should use it as reference.

TMS URL for JOSM:
tms[23]:http://imagery.openstreetmap.fr/tms/1.0.0/haiti_cnigs_2014_2015/{zoom}/{x}/{y}

drones after hurricane Matthew).

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem

Bonjour,

Une couverture aérienne de référence de l'extrémité ouest de la
Péninsule de Tiburon a été rendue disponible par le CNIGS (Centre
National de l'Information Géographique et Spatiale), l'institut
géographique national haïtien. Elle a été prise en 2014-2015, avec une
résolution de 25 cm. Elle est hébergée par OpenStreetMap France.
Quelques dalles et bandes manquent pour le moment, en raison des
difficultés de connexion avec Haïti.

Si vous réalignez des données ou des images, vous devriez l'utiliser
comme référence.

this can be (according to the local situation/context) a problem or not
with any kind of sign, in no way related to hunting. Putting up a sign
"private property" where indeed it is public property, is most likely
illegal in any place. If you come across such illegal signage, contact your
local authorities, don't complain on the OSM mailing list ;-)

if it's their driveway, they can probably put any sign and it won't be
"illegal" (if it's enforcable is another question) (depends on the
jurisdiction and context (accessible by everyone or only after passing a
gate etc., public right of way on a privately owned road, etc.)).

again, see above, contact your local authorities and have the sign removed
if it is illegal.

I would rely more on local signage, because this is what you can be
expected to know and see, while some "official database" if it has all the
valid prescriptions in it, but doesn't find an echo in the actual situation
on the ground, will be hardly enforcable. In case you find discrepancies
you should/could contact local authorities and have the situation cleared.

Martin
