Re: [talk-au] BYO drinks at restaurant

[Ben Kelley]

I think that's some kind of location code. I forget what it's called. If 
you search for that string in Google Maps it takes you to an address at 
the Gold Coast.

It's apparent though, when looking at restaurants, that very few

& Name, occasionally type of cuisine, with only a few others having 
any further details - phone, opening hours etc.


There's one strange bit of info that is showing up, at least on 
OSMAND, though.


If nothing else, the description of each place shows "Restaurant", the 
location Lat / Long & another apparent location field something like 
"5R3MXC5M+JM" - anybody have any idea what that could represent? I've 
looked at a couple of dozen listings for restaurants & other POIs, 
both here on the GC & also in Sydney, & every listing has a similar 
code against it.


Any ideas?

Thanks

[talk-au] WA - NT lakes to intermittent

[Warin]

Hi

Some lakes have been added along the WA NT boarder. These are I think 
intermittent and I have changed them to that.


These were added using scan aerial - by a non local. Lake Mackay is one 
of them.



However there maybe more that I think should be changed if you are not 
already tagged intermittent.

Re: [talk-au] Sydney OSM Workshop

[Andrew Harvey]

Thanks Cameron. I spoke at Georabble a while back about mapping in OSM
already. At the moment I'm seeing if anyone has anything they wanted to
showcase/talk about, or if who are interested in being involved on the
organising side. Once we've locked in the venue and date etc. I'll announce
details for those looking to come along.

Re: [talk-au] Sydney OSM Workshop

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Andrew,

Re Finding interested people for an Open Street Map event:

I suggest reaching out to the GeoRabble folks and ask them when they 
have their next speaking night.
You could give a 5 minute pitch to attract people interested in setting 
up a mapping event.

https://georabble.org/

I'm also CCing the Austrailan QGIS users group where you will likely 
find a few interested GIS folks.


Cheers, Cameron

1. To help get more people involved with OSM, as both:
a) contributors and,
b) consumers

2. Provide an opportunity for people to share what they are up to with 
OSM both:

a) mapping related and,
b) things being built with OSM

3. Provide a place for the local OSM community (both mappers and 
consumers) to network and socialise


Perth has http://geogeeks.org/
Melbourne has https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/Maptime-Melbourne/
Brisbane has had some mapathon/mapping parties recently

I'm thinking of something similar in Sydney mixed between talks, 
socialising and hands on workshops.


To this end "Maptime" is one brand to run it under, and at least 
initially I've been talking with someone else who want's to run a 
Maptime event in Sydney to run one around OSM.


Is anyone else interested in seeing this happen? I'm interested to 
hear from anyone who's also keen on this.


At this stage it will be a weekday evening in the CDB (we have two 
venue options for around 15-20 people in a workshop setting) sometime 
the week of the 20th. I was planning on doing an intro to OSM, but is 
anyone interested in giving a short talk, demo or workshop as part of 
this?
