Re: [talk-au] Using roads dataset from data.sa.gov.au

I just had a brief look at MapRoulette, but I don’t really understand yet what the technical requirements are. Just loading the .osm file as a separate layer in JOSM seems to be a reasonable way to use the data. Potentially, I could re-generate the file often, to provide an up-to-date indication of what is left to do. However there would be no easy way for someone to mark for others the fact that a way doesn’t really need changing; and that could lead to some duplicated effort. Incidentally, I noticed that you used some of the data in the last 24hrs to update road names on KI. I decided to have a go too, adding some missing roads, also to KI. The procedure of copying a road from one layer to another, joining it to existing ways, and uploading, seems to be fairly easy once you get into the rhythm. I was able to add around one missing road every 30 seconds or so. By the way, I have just put an updated version of “missing.osm” in my Google Drive folder, based on the state of OSM today (rather than 9 Feb, like the previous one). ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Neat. So map roulette would solve the 'no need to fix' signal to others. To make a project is just using curl plus json to describe it and add tasks. Uh can't find github link right now but the api is pretty clear. Happy to help set that up later today/this week, as well as get the process automated (git, 1x cron, etc) On 22/02/2015 11:20 AM, Henry Haselgrove haselgr...@gmail.com wrote: From: Daniel O'Connor [mailto:daniel.ocon...@gmail.com] Softgrow has done some work in metro Adelaide around checking roads: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_South_Australia Thanks.

[talk-au] Early OpenStreetMap references/events in Australia
The LWG is trying to document, preferably, early events with OpenStreetMap participation and press/media mentions or pieces on OSM in Australia. Typical stuff that we are looking for are: coverage of mapping parties, conferences and exhibitions that have had community participation, talks and so on. As said, preferably early material, but in the end everything will be of interest. I've already looked through the wiki but haven't found a lot, if you have pointers to any of the above, please respond to this mail or write directly to le...@osmfoundation.org Thank you Simon signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
