[OSM-talk] Translation of articles about participatory mapping experiences in the Farma Valley, Southern Tuscany, Italy

2016-12-28 Thread Andrea Giacomelli
[apologies for cross-postings to folks on ppgis and osgeo discussion lists]


Dear all,

a)

http://www.pibinko.org/come-to-measure-the-dark-skies-in-
the-valley-thats-not-there-il-tirreno-dec-17-2016/

http://www.pibinko.org/our-festival-at-last-il-tirreno-dec-17-2016/


...these articles were published on one of the two main newspapers in
Tuscany on Dec. 17

b) We needed a few days to get a translation into English (which may still
be improved, so bear with us for any glitches, but we though it was
important to share the news asap).

c) The articles are a nice independent summary of a series of activities
which we (the subjects involved are detailed in the article) started in
2006, involving various elements of participatory mapping.

...some of these activities have already been advertised on this
list...anyway: if you need some backtracking, the sites
http://www.pibinko.org (since 1991) and http://www.attivarti.org (since
2007) carry all the story

d) for comments, questions and enquiries, we will be glad to hear from you

e) if you are interested, you can subscribe to our newsletter (
http://attivarti.org/lists/) to stay posted on upcoming events and
initiatives (Italian and English currently available)..


Many thanks for your attention, and best regards from Italy:

[OSM-talk] (was: Italy Video) - in case of future requests related to "Riflessioni sul tema(tismo) and post scriptum

2008-07-28 Thread Andrea Giacomelli (pibinko)
All, 

I am the author and producer of the "Italy Video" which generated 
interest during SOM08 and which generated some interest in the "post SOTM" 
week.

John (McKerrell) - I hope your SOTM review from last Thurday went just 
as well without the high resolution video. 

I spoke to Simone,also to thank 
him for having re-exposed the video to the community in Limerick following the 
initial postings I made in January.

Based on this and other recent 
conversations,   I would like to share some points of interest, should there be 
future requests in relation to this video and/or other material currently 
available on the web and authored by us (=GFOSS.it and other individuals 
relating to it)

1. The "Italy video" [title: Riflessioni sul tema(tismo)] is 
currently available through the youtube version http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=_ZOQSn5tyqQ 

It should be cited as Riflessioni sul tema(tismo), by pibinko, 
Italy 2008.


FYI - following the "world premiere" in January 2008 I had 
requests to dub the video in Spanish, to add other scenes and other very 
interesting ideas which would be wonderful to "make happen" in a CC-BY-NC-SA 
modeit is good to see that whenever the video re-surfaces, new interest is 
generated. it would be of benefit to any project referring to CC as a 
licensing model to make some of this happen ;)

2. A high resolution version of 
the video has been available via FTP for a few months, following the Arezzo 
Mapping Party. 
This version is no longer on line.
If anybody did download the 
high(er) resolution version, I'd appreciate to know. I am too lazy to check 
server logs at present.

also note that the "high resolution" version is 
*better* than the youtube one, but would not be qualified as a real production 
video.

3. I have the possibility of rendering a DVD-quality version of the 
video, as well as other strains of the same material.

This won't take more 
than a few hours, but we need to put this in the pipeline of other ongoing 
activities (of which maybe less than 10% OSM-related). We will be glad to 
consider requests, but planning will be of the essence.

 Just send an e-mail 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we can see if/no sooner than when your request can be 
accomodated.

4. As any other content which is generated for not-for-profit 
awareness raising (or even for commercial reasons, as a matter of fact) we, as 
the GFOSS.it association, would be glad of being notified of cases where such a 
video has generated interest.

At present, the best way to do this is by means 
of comments to the youtube version of the video (using the "comments" section 
on youtube). 
If you don't like the idea of posting your comments on that site, 
you can still send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

5. If you feel we 
should use a different model for our awareness raising activities, I will be 
glad to learn of ideas on how to change/improve it.

Thank you for your 
attention, and regards

Andrea Giacomelli
vice president and media relations 
manager - GFOSS.it - Italian OSGeo Chapter

p.s. if any video editor is 
interested: we have substantial portions of footage from the Jan-Jul 2008 
campaigns where GFOSS.it has collaborated with Italian OSM activists. 
We have 
edited "instant" short movies (all available on youtube, again...look for the 
gfoss tag), but we could consider opportunities to assemble more of the footage 
we are currently keeping in our drawers...

p.p.s. this opportunity does not 
strictly apply to OSM-related material...a lot more is on free geographic 
information in general.

[OSM-talk] Creative Commons and Geographic Information - a relationship under develoment

2008-07-20 Thread Andrea Giacomelli (pibinko)
This is the title of a panel discussion that will take place on Saturday, July 
26, close to Parma (Italy).

The session will be held during the third edition 
of the Creative Commons Festival [1]

We will have Niccolò Rigacci, one of the 
Senior OpenStreetMappers (who will reach 3 mapped kilometers while coming 
to attend), Simone Aliprandi, one of the main national experts in Copyleft and 
free licenses, and myself (vice president and media relations manager for GFOSS.
it, the Italian OSGeo chapter), and possibly other members of the communities.


The discussion will presumably take place in Italian (with a slight Parmesan 
accent). 

We will be posting a summary after the event.

The venue is not far 
from the motorways leading from Milano to Bologna (and the Adriatic coast), and 
to La Spezia (one of the routes to/from Toscana).

If you happen to be in 
transit around that date, you might consider stopping by and coming to say 
hello. Look for folks with orange T-shirts and a large logo saying "Geospatial 
Free Open Source Software". 
Writing ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to let us know 
you're coming will be appreciated.

thanks for your attention, and regards

[OSM-talk] M(')appare Milano follow on: the presentation and the translation in "English".

2008-07-17 Thread Andrea Giacomelli (pibinko)
[I will be posting the same to the OSGEO discussion list, from a different 
address - so apologies for cross-postings]


INTRODUCTION

In Italy we are 
having a lot of elaboration on the concept of  "sharing", as well as on the 
relationship between "local" communities and "local" organisations with 
"global" communities and "global" organisations [with the term "global" to be 
intended as it used to be before the post-modern concept of globalisation was 
defined].

In the bulge of activities and projects, I managed to make available 
online the presentation I gave with a GFOSS.it/Italian OSGeo chapter in the 
closing meeting of the three-month mapping campaign in Milano (code name M(')
appare Milano).

The PDF is available, in Italian, from the "Presentazioni" 
section on http://www.gfoss.it/drupal/materiale

Thinking of the non-Italian 
reading audience, and trying not to spend a huge load of time in the 
translation, I sought assistance from one of the known automated translation 
services. And this is what I got:

http://www.pibinko.
org/out/20080702_xche_en_lsd.html

I remember trying similar exercises when 
such services where launched, and having hours of sheer entertainment...I 
hadn't been trying this for a while, and what I read in computer-aided-
translation-English-with-no-review is *beyond all expectations*.

I even 
discovered that one of the GFOSS.it board members is named Steven Coast 
(Stefano Costa). I never realised this before today.
Possibly we have a new 
character together with the "fake SteveC" ?

Also "Thankses" is not bad.


GETTING BACK TO THE MAPS:

Independently of  the amenity of the pseudo-
translation, I'll be glad to follow on or expand on specific points of 
interest. I think there are some to consider ;)

Regards,

Andrea Giacomelli, 
aka pibinko
vice president and media relations manager, GFOSS.it

Re: [OSM-talk] (1) news on mapping campaign in Mil ano and (2) check for procedure to generate com plex statistics on portion of OSM planet

2008-05-30 Thread Andrea Giacomelli (pibinko)
Inge - Thanks for your appreciation!

See some comments below:

A) Concerning our approach to the radio: we (GFOSS.it) are putting a strong 
focus on communication and media relations in our awareness raising activity, 
and we have developed a good relationship with some mappers (some of which are 
members of our association, but this is not a constraint)

...I think this is the key to our approach...we have a combination of a 
"formal" presence (i.e. an association which is registered in Italy and can 
relate formally to other institutional subjects) with some brilliant mappers 
wreaking "GPS havoc" around the country...

We already had national radio coverage (live) for a Mapping party in Arezzo, 
and who knows what will happen next.. ;)

This also deriving from other parallel experiences some of us are conducting, 
and the radio is only one of the aspects.


B) ...thinking about other details...for example...we did put some thinking 
also on "localisation".

Rather than calling the event a "mapping party", we devised the "M(')appare" 
title, which has a double meaning in Italian: 

Mappare = to map

M'appare = something appears to me

...so to many this is more intriguing than a plain "party" (while we do like to 
party, anyway), as it suggests that the mapping we do is progressively 
"exposing" our territory...

Various Italian mappers liked the idea, so we are now having M(')appare 
Ferrara,  Portofino and very soon Verona etc.

"non-mappers" (including media) also like the title..

...and so forth...the combination of these aspects surely helps to propose the 
topic.

our radio hosts, following our "word game vibration", actually invented the 
"Mappy hour", instead of the "Happy hour", which we have in a cafe last 
Tuesday...

..all this is interesting...

C) On the other hand, it is true that OpenStreetMap is an extremely easy idea 
to "sell"...joking on the Italian mailing list, I even suggested that we should 
assign an award to the first person who says he/she DOES NOT like the concept ;)

The difficult parts are...

   (1) to make this happen in the broader context of awareness raising of free 
geographic information (of which OSM is a subset);

   (2)  insuring media provide a fair picture of what goes on...while the first 
impression of OSM is simple, some of its founding principles are not immediate 
for a general audience (and for journalists who serve a general audience);

   (3) striking a balance between demonstrations and actual opportunities that 
can be generated by OSM.

But overall I say that what we are doing an interesting challenge, and we are 
very curious of seeing the what will happen in Italy over the coming months.

D) ...possibly I slightly deviated from "operational" suggestions for your 
mapping party, but I thought that providing a broader picture on our drivers 
may still give you ideas on how to apply this to your home town.

E) ...one last point: you mention competitions for the public...

no, this has not happened yet: GPS remains "not for all"...but the Autumn may 
bring news in this respect..;)

[OSM-talk] (1) news on mapping campaign in Mil ano and (2) check for procedure to generate com plex statistics on portion of OSM planet

2008-05-30 Thread Andrea Giacomelli (pibinko)
Hi,

A long e-mail for (1) an update on what goes on in Milano and (2) one technical 
question.

I don't read the talk list every day, but I noted that after our March 18 
thread on this we provided no updates, so I guess this may be of interest to 
you.

Also, we are dealing with a technical task which may or may not be easy
We have talked about the issue with some of the Italian mappers, and I 
understand this can be done, yet I'd like to hear about this from a more open 
audience.

UPDATE ON MAPPING CAMPAIGN IN MILANO


Some of you may be aware that in mid-March, following the inspiration by our 
Edoardo "Mad Mapper" Marascalchi, we have set up a three-month mapping campaign 
in Milano, Italy, to push on the completion of the open street map in this 
relatively small (population approx 1.2 million) but important town in Italy.

This campaign has been designed as a joint operation between GFOSS.it (the 
Italian OSGEO Chapter), some of the Italian "free mappers", and a local radio 
station.

Since March 17, we have been receiving a MON-FRI radio coverage, together with 
advertisements on our progress and announcements of mapping events in town (we 
had four of these in total).

More details (for Italian readers) are on http://www.mapparemilano.com and 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Milano/Micro_Mapping_Party

This mapping campaign will close next Tuesday, June 3.

Once the operation is closed, we are going to present the result of this 
activity in a small (yet to be advertised on national scale) workshop. 

This will be sometime in the second half of June.

In the context of this workshop, we are going to summarise two aspects of the  
M(')appare Milano experience: social and technical.


1. "social" - 

the collaboration with a radio (and specifically with a show that is focused on 
the city and its traffic conditions during rush hour, from 5 to 6 PM) has 
brought OSM, and more in general concepts related to free geographic 
information to people that would never have considered it otherwise (and they 
enjoyed it)

...on the other side "people" provided insight that "we, the technologists" 
would never have considered.

This is extremely interesting, and is leading to new ideas and projects that 
will take place South of the Alps during the year.

2. technical

2.1. working with an "open audience", who may bring their own generic GPS, does 
lead to some issues in running a mapping party. We are learning from this to 
propose more structured activities in the future

TECHNICAL ISSUE
===

2.2. we would like to show various statistics of mapping activity deriving from 
our project.

We know the dates, times, and areas of interest where we held our micro-mapping 
parties, and we know who are the "power mappers" who are mapping every day, 
independently of our awareness raising activity.

I wonder if there is some kind of "data mining" utility that would allow us to 
generate different cross-tabulations by user name, date-time and GPX 
coordinates.
This would be used to generate representative breakdowns of how the map in 
Milano has been evolving in this period. 

The visual change is very clear (and quite impressive) but I am curious of 
exposing an additional level of detail with statistics of this type.

Edoardo, Niccolò and others are on top of this, but I'd like to learn more 
myself (I am quite active on the promotion of the project, but less on the 
technicalities)

Thanks for your attention on such a long message, and regards.

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM cycle map radio interview + other recent radio coverage + thoughts on non-English speaking audience

2008-02-05 Thread andrea giacomelli
hi,

a) As we are getting into some "radio clippings" review: on the
occasion of the mapping party in Arezzo, in addition to the extensive
local coverage already mentioned by Edoardo, we also had some 8
minutes of live interview on RAI Radio 2

This is one of the main national public radio stations - so indeed it
was a great opportunity for us.

If you know Italian (or like the sound of it)...it starts at 19'40" on:

http://www.radio.rai.it/radio2/laltrolato/view.cfm?VAUDIO=laltrolato2008_01_26.ram

BTW, the program is called "L'altro lato", i.e. "The other side" of
things...they liked the idea of OSM as "the other maps".

b) ...I spoke to the guys from the program some days later, and I had
positive feedback (i.e. people where calling/e-mailing to ask for more
information), so we're all happy.

One of the comments I had, though, was that non-English speaking
visitors of the www.openstreetmap.org website may "freeze" in front of
the homepageas intuitive as it may be for us...

...do you think it would make sense/be possible to have in the
homepage a more explicit link to "other languages" ?

p.s. last but not least, we also had another radio report on OSM in
mid-January (on the topic of free geography
http://alid.it/gruppo-Radio%20103) ...so we like being on FM...;)

Hi,

Some footage from the two days

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHNwCBqQHtY

both from indoor and outdoor parts of the event

...sorry ;) no subtitles in English for this round, but you still may
take a virtual tour of the town with Simone and Luca...or maybe take
it as a good excuse to pick up some Italian (we'll be glad to provide
translations)

More news to follow -
