[OSM-talk] Missing attribution : Guardian Data and OII use OSM
Hi , Anyone glancing at the image published by The Guardian data [1] could say its a OpenStreet Map . But there was no mention of that . I went forward and read the article in Floating sheep [2] which also doesn't mention anything about the maps being based / are OpenStreet Map . Ironic is the fact that the author has taken pain to give citations/ references to Geographical Research papers but missed even a lil bit of info on where the maps are from . Sad to say that its coming from a research institute which studies the "web" on issues like privacy ,copyright etc . 1. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/gallery/2013/feb/14/africa-tweets-mapped 2 . http://www.floatingsheep.org/2013/02/the-urban-geographies-of-tweets-in.html PS : I do realise that it[2] isnt an institute blog/press .

Coming to mapping in India , Kashmir might be the one border issue where "International territory " and "line of Control" are two different lines and can be interpreted by various cartographers in whatever way it pleases them . Google maps India doesnt even show the line of control , google maps US shows it as a dotted line , OSM shows it as bordder . I would admit the fact that OSM is not that popular ( atleast in India) that people who vandalise articles in wikipedia havent yet started . Lets say it to the advantage of the tools being hard to use even for the wikipedia editor , also would be the other fact that there is less data here(India) for them to seriously consider OSM as a map which needs to be checked up / bothered with . Google enjoys the complete dominant position with people fighting editor wars in mapmaker . Personally am I waiting for a surge of mappers ? No I am not , I would rather see a surge in mapping and effective usage of tags , hopefully which the future editors could clearly include some 2 minutes of tagging tutorial .

I really really want it to be held at a developing country where OSM data is very less , some place where there is hardly any open geo data source or even a strong community of mappers . By suggesting such a place I know I am also foolishly suggesting a place where its hard to organise an event and would have a scarcity of local volunteers but a SOTM at any such country would bring in a lot of enthusiasm , team of excellent mappers, developers and will give a huge push to Govt / GIS bodies to open up their data and also a huge boost / thumbs up to the local community . The developed world have already their own SOTM-EU and SOTM-US and moreover their maps are very much presentable and in some case the maps are much better than the commercial/propreitary ones . Unfortuanately the same couldnt be said for the maps in the other parts where routing doesnt work , the relations are mis tagged and lack of data sources are problems to name few.

The new map replacement from apple in its IOS has drawn a lot of criticism . http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/sep/20/apple-maps-ios6-station-towe> Within minutes of the launch of the iOS6 operating system, which comes preloaded with Apple Maps, users were reporting that London had been relocated to Ontario, Paddington station had vanished, the Sears Tower in Chicago had shrunk, and Helsinki railway station had been turned into a park. Having said that How much is it OSM data? There have been messages saying its the TomTom data but if you look at http://gspa21.ls.apple.com/html/attribution.html there is a line "(OSM) OpenStreetMap contributors, http://www.openstreetmap.org/ " Pretty confusing and sad to say that many of the comments were against the map app and suggesting that they would hardly accept anything other than google maps .

I am being a critic here to say that you guys haven't properly styled the mapnik to adapt for higher zoom levels . Ex: at z22 the cluttering algo still works when two POI's are more far than needed for cluttering . Also at Z22 a name on the secondary road was not properly displayed .. the distance between letters as too huge. Anyways its hard to check every line for every style sheet . Good effort :) Hope it encourages others.

YES and I was thinking of posting about it but waited because I want to learn about simple tiles generation for small area using osmarender (where I could set my own zoom level and was suggested by amm at diary http://bit.ly/8Z6ieY ) . Openstreetmap could enrich the map experience like never before, now that some experienced mappers have started mapping shops inside a shopping mall . It definitely makes mapping easy in developing areas where most of the shops are situated side by side in a small area which is in contrast to UK/european shops which occupy large areas . Here is a small Tale of two shops : One nice lane in a bazaar of a small town I found two bakeries . One lies almost opposite to other . The nice bakery is called 'Taj bakery' other one is 'Golden Bakery ' Mapnik in a lower zoom level shows it as Golden bakery . I actually zoomed to a higher zoom level witha hope to see both bakeries . Unfortunately it could show only golden bakery :( Seeing it with data only shows the POI . I stopped mapping all the bazaars because Indian streets unfortunately are constructed as bazaars with sometimes collection of similar selling item. And I am forced to NOT map selectively some shop when I am mapping those bazaars . Selecting some shop as important and some shop as not important is very daunting task :( Higher population areas have close knit shops I am wondering why someone has not demanded for detailed mapping in those areas. Coming to extra processing power & bandwidth I think its time to move ahead . I think that atleast osmarender which has a lower zoom level when compared to mapnik and should immediately set to mapnik zoom level ( just a matter of personal liking towards osmarender ) -- pavithran sakamuri http://look-pavi.blogspot.com ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Increasing the pressure on adobe ? Adobe has open sourced flex . There is a video player from flash which is opensource . Overall some of them might not be purely free software but adobe definitely is being careful ;) Other than AJAX is there an opensource alternative in widespread usage ? Re:flash video I think its going to die as most popular browsers like FF ,IE,chrome and Safari are supporting HTML5 (M$ and Apple to support their own codecs/formats ) There are huge set of multimedia & graphic designers living on Adobe and its products . If they are educated and are made to sign this petition maybe adobe will listen .

Yes that seems to be the case . I could see the town name in telugu. But there are problems * The shape of the font is bad * Font rendering has its share of problems which are common to all indic fonts . I have found http://trac.mapnik.org/ticket/112 If the above is the case with mapnik ,its quite strange that there is no fallback option for osmarender which is not displaying any name ( neither name=nameintelugu nor name:en=nameinenglish) Regards, Pavithran -- pavithran sakamuri http://look-pavi.blogspot.com ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

[OSM-talk] Map internationalisation
Hi all , I would like to display a Telugu name for some places. Telugu is an Indian language with ISO code 'te' . I tried keeping name:te=ఖమ్మం I mean in english name:te=citynameintelugu This is not getting displayed in local language . Is this due to some rendering issue ? I am asking cause I could see other languages like Tamil,hindi and Kannada (neighbouring states ) getting properly rendered.
