[OSM-talk] Goodbye and thank you for the fish
My fellow mappers, with a sad eye I will stop my activities for OSM. I haveworked long for OSM, accomplished many things and learnt much (XML, Perl,bash, SVG). But its time for something new. A bit I also miss the challengeshere. I will present my program Mapweaver at the Perl Workshop in Frankfurt in a few weeks and then call it a day. My programs are provided in the SVN where anybody can use,modify etc. them. My server gary68.de will be run down when the contractpermits it. I think it will be some months. The provision of all regularreports will be stopped. Should there be the need for Mapweaver maintenance orexpansion I might be doing that. (Cant neglect my master piece.) You can still reach me under my private eMail address. Thank you all and good luck for the project.

[OSM-talk] "Ich Bin Geograph" - WhereCamp EU Is Coming To Berlin
In March 2010, Chris Osborne and myself transplanted the post-Where 2.0 WhereCamp from Silicon Valley and brought it to London. Judging by the feedback and comments we got during and after the event, it was a geotastic success and showed that Europe had an appetite for a 2 day, free, unconference on all matters geo. After a brief northbound sojourn as WhereCamp UK in November 2010, we're happy to announce that WhereCamp EU is back for 2011 and with a distinctly European flavour. Whilst the venue is yet to be confirmed, WhereCamp EU will be taking place on the 27th and 28th of May in Berlin. We'll keep you posted with more details on the WhereCamp EU blog, on Lanyrd and on our Twitter feed. "Ich Bin Geograph" (as Google translate tells me). -- gary at vicchi.org | twitter.com/vicchi | www.linkedin.com/in/garygale | www.garygale.com ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Supported by the UK's Association for Geographic Information, w3gconf is a free, one day conference, themed on the "3 W's of Geo". Large in scope but intimate in scale, w3gconf is targeted firmly at the geographic community at large, from the geographic professional, be they GIS or Web 2.0 to the latent geographer who's heard about this thing called "location" and wants to know more. w3gconf will take place in the Holiday Inn, Stratford upon Avon, UK, on the 28th. September 2010. Read the blog at http://www.w3gconf.com/, follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/w3gconf and register for free at http://w3gconf.eventbrite.com/.

Re: [OSM-talk] visitor counter in wiki vanished
hi shaun, from my point of view this is a very weak argument - assuming that of course counting an integer value and sometimes "print" it does not consume too much ressources - how many bytes can it be? probably there are other, more promising potentials? on the other hand this is/was a very useful information for conributors to the wiki. this way you knew if stuff you wrote is interesting to others or not! now i (and others) won't know... the cache argument in this context is weak too - because this number does not need to be precise to the second. so i repeat myself and hope to maybe find some support from others: i want the counter back! by the way: has this been discussed somewhere - aside from maybe ICQ? cheers gerhard - original Nachricht Betreff: Re: [OSM-talk] visitor counter in wiki vanished Gesendet: Mo, 03.

The location of perl can vary. Use 'which perl' to find yours. Hope that helps.

[OSM-talk] Action!
Hi, I provide some error reports for OSM and wanted the errors to be corrected. Of course I could handle some of them on my own. But since there were 10s of thouands I surely wouldn't be able to inspect and correct them all. So I thought why not set up a joint action of some sort? And so I did - not knowing whether I would get help or not. But amazingly we had so many volunteers who picked working packages that in a few days hundreds of erros could be corrected. And since the edits were supposedly made with JOSM using the validator plugin many other errors (beside the initially listed ones) were corrected as well. In the first action 1000 errors were closed in 5 days. The third action (1000 dupe ways) I suppose will make it in under 24h! That's crazy!!! So far we handled unconnected residentials in Bayern/Germany and dupe ways also in Germany. For details please have a look at - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Aktionen - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aktion_01 - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Aktionen/Aktion_03 Of course the pages are in German but look at the work tables and maybe the error lists. Maybe others could set up actions like these for other countries? I assure you to provide reports if needed and I am quite confident that a lot of our helpers would support these actions from here - if we get to know about the actions...

Re: [OSM-talk] Lots of ways in Congo double
hi marteen, you can use this program to find all dupes... http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Waydupes.pl if you need assistance, let me know. i could probably run it for you. right now, as published, it just checks residentials. but with simple modifications other ways can be checked as well! cheers gerhard gary68 - original Nachricht Betreff: [OSM-talk] Lots of ways in Congo double Gesendet: Mo, 10.

Re: [OSM-talk] is_in and similar tags
Have a look at boundaries.pl in the wiki -- Urspr. Mitt. -- Betreff: Re: [OSM-talk] is_in and similar tags Von: OJ W Datum: 28.07.2009 19:33 Could someone[1] setup a web-service where you send it a lat/lon and it returns a list of all boundaries that point is within? So just one website imports the boundary data instead of everyone having to know how to do the 'is within' search[2]. Namefinder could then query this to add its own internal is_in tags to the place= nodes as it's importing them. It might also be quite neat for "describe my location" type things. [1] @lazyosm [2] I assume this is complex, since boundaries aren't guaranteed to contain a single ordered list of nodes?

[OSM-talk] Limiting Polygon?
Hi, is there anyone aware of an algorithm that produces a limiting polygon around a heap of nodes - let's say around an osm file cut from a planet file? Best would be PERL... Thanks Gerhard gary68 ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Activity Level in My Area?
