Re: [talk-au] Present for keen OSMer
Great question... and timely, given I recently bought myself a few goodies from http://shop.kernelconcepts.de/index.php?cPath=22_37 I purchased one of each - the vest (note - the back of this particular vest is in German "VERMESSUNG"), the mug, and the pin. The order arrived quickly (less than 2 weeks)... When ordering, I did have a small issue with their online ordering system - so after placing your order you might need to email them and confirm the total with shipping... because there seemed to be a problem with the shipping to Australia... It was sorted out by email no problems, and you can just PayPal them the money. Also purchased the book: "OpenStreetMap: Using and Enhancing the Free Map of the World", written by Frederik Ramm and Jochen Topf - there is an abundance of these (and other OSM books) on eBay... it's best if you also search worldwide sellers on eBay because you can generally get them cheaper from overseas (especially from the UK). It irritates me the OSMF doesn't have a shop that sells merchandise. If marketed properly, it can be another means of financial support for the project.

Re: [talk-au] News on national border
Hi, I've just uploaded the first segment [1]. It runs from somewhere north of Newcastle along the NSW and Victoria coast almost to Wilsons Promotory [2]. If there aren't any objections I will continue to upload the remaining segements within a couple of days.

I especially like that more detail can be included as mapping proceeds. Great work! Cheers, Paul. -Original Message- From: Michael Krämer Sent: 29 Sep 2012 13:58:42 GMT To: Talk-AU OSM,Ian Sergeant,Paul HAYDON Subject: News on national border Hi, unfortunately I noticed that the output from the process I had described was not really as good as I wanted it to be. So I did a bunch of refinements over the last couple of days and updated [1] accordingly. The key differences are the use of a projection to improve accuracy and using the tools in a different order to improve the geometry of the output. So now [2] shows the result I would personally suggest to upload as the national border.
