[talk-au] Turn lanes review

[David Wales]

Dear Australian Mappers,

I have completed my first attempt at adding lane and turn:lane tagging
to a freeway intersection. However, I'm not entirely confident that I'm
doing it right!

Please help me to fix any issues before I upload it!
Here is a link to the changeset:

Re: [talk-au] [SA] Road name changes

[Daniel O'Connor]

I'm happy to contribute; it would be good to redo the data.sa.gov.au
dataset process again and clean up the last few hundred that didn't get
assessed + new changes.

One of the other periodic checks I do; tracking down all landuse:
construction / highway: construction a few times a year.

Would be good to get that on a schedule (overpass query on a cron job?
calendar entries with "go run this script/query/etc") or similar?

[talk-au] OpenStreetCam competition results

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi everyone, 

The OpenStreetCam competition is over. Thanks to everyone who contributed! 
We’ll do a blog post about this soon on improveosm.org (that is the Telenav web 
site that has all our OSM related stuff) but I didn’t want to delay on 
announcing the WINNERS. I’ll post a link when it’s up. 

The numbers 1 in each country get $100 gift cards (in local dollars obviously), 
the two runners up in each country get $25 gift cards. We’re sending those out 
digitally today and tomorrow!

Australia

1 —> steve91 with 346251 points
2 —> robbie-bloggs with 222138 points
3 —> ConsEbt with 171420 points

New Zealand

1 —> ivss-xx with 354409 points
2 —> david-blyth with 332510 points
3 —> nicknz with 105825 points 

Total imagery collected is about 36 photos for Australia, and 168000 for 
New Zealand. Points awarded are 1 per photo but there’s a multiplier of up to 
10x (!) for roads with few or no previous coverage.

User nicknz —> I don’t have a way to contact you, if you’re reading this, 
please get in touch off-list so we can send you the gift card.
Everyone else we have contact info for.

If you feel you got close to a prize — we may do this again..Watch this space.

Don’t stop now! We’re using all photos to improve sign recognition for OSC and 
the more photos we have, the better that system gets.

Happy Mapping!
Martijn

 Folks,
 
 We added an additional holiday prize for the 2 mappers who collect the 
 most imagery before Christmas.
 Details added on the competition page! You need 25k points minimum to be 
 eligible for this prize, but since coverage is very low in Australia,  you 
 collect points very quickly.
 
 Let me know if you have
