Re: [talk-au] OSGeo Oceania as a not-for-profit entity? Your feedback, please

[John Bryant]

Thanks for the feedback Graeme. I agree 100% with holding an AGM &
producing financial reports. In all likelihood, we'd aim for holding an AGM
at the annual conference, which is easily our best opportunity for a
face-to-face meeting. Details will be sorted out in due course, but I
definitely encourage you to keep our feet to the fire on this :)

Re: getting professional help. I agree - it's not necessarily hugely
complicated. However I think what we're facing is a bit of complexity in
the order of operations, and optimising the process. While we could likely
figure it out ourselves, it would be helpful to have someone with
experience to save us time & effort, and possibly help us avoid making
mistakes. So, the thinking behind paying a professional is to 1) lighten
the volunteer load a bit, while 2) ensuring we do this correctly and
efficiently. That said, if there is someone in the community who has
experience with this, and wants to lend a hand, let's talk...

Hi Martin,
Just on the last competition.
I have uploaded photos as ConsEbt and was wondering how you send the prize.
I checked my email but either did not receive it missed any notification.
The email associated with my account is sign...@consebt.de which I recently 
changed to this one.

That is a superb find Dion and would be useful not as a one off city app
but for the whole of Australasia as an app so we are not re-inventing this
for each state and territory.

Well worth a Georabble discussion on how this was made.

Hi Sigurjon!

Welcome to talk-au OSM! Really happy to see TfNSW involvement!

David and I are doing the NSW address import in our spare time here and there 
:) Always happy for more people to join. 
https://gitlab.com/dionmoult/osm-nsw-address-import

It'd be good if you could join the meetup to say hi - you can mark yourself as 
"not attending" but at least then you will be on the list so I can send updates 
when there is another meetup:

Re: [talk-au] Transport for NSW (TfNSW)

[Runarsson, Sigurjon]

Hi Sebastian,

Currently we are mostly focusing on A to B trip planning for public transport 
modes including walking.  So our main focus atm is to enhance the data  around 
interchanges i.e. stations layouts to support routing indoors as well as 
outdoors.  Saying that, we are determined to contribute to all attributes 
within the osm database based on internal and external feedback.

Guidelines – I would say that  we need more assistance/guidance from the osm 
users like yourself in most instances:)  but  yes we would contribute in 
discussion and wiki if needed.
Based on discussion that I have had internally for the last few days we feel 
that making the data available in osm by importing and regularly maintain the 
data  like bus stops is the way to go rather than telling the users how to map 
ie naming  a bus stop.  So based on that we are now actively working on getting 
approval for a waiver signed for bus stops in particular so we can proceed.  If 
successful, more datasets would follow.

Maybe discussion for later date but I feel that other datasets like suburbs and 
address data could be updated (bulk import) into osm on regular basis as more 
and more consumers are directly taking the osm database into their products.  
Hopefully we can get waivers signed and go down that path.

I will keep you posted with any developments on the waiver(s).  In the meantime 
please let us know if you have specific questions related to public transport.


Defiantly interested in regular local meetups.  Unfortunately cannot make the 
30 March.

[talk-au] Correct way to tag pedestrian crossings with traffic signals

[Thomas Manson]

I am trying to determine the best way to tag pedestrian crossings.

These are the map features that I am trying to tag: 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3500829415
 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2039208753

They are currently tagged:
crossing:traffic_signals
highway:traffic_signals

However, on the page 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals, there appears
to be 2 ways to tag this, with the alternative being:
highway:crossing
crossing:traffic_signals
for the cases (like this is) where the pedestrian crossing is not separately 
mapped - in this case it is only a pedestrian crossing, not an intersection.

My reading is that the second way is preferred for this type of crossing. Am I 
correct?

Regards,
Thomas

Re: [talk-au] OSGeo Oceania as a not-for-profit entity? Your feedback, please

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Thanks for keeping us posted, John, & good work!

I'd agree with the suggestion of a stand-alone CLG as a SPC, together with
charity status.

Although, as you have noted, this combination reduces the need for an AGM &
Financial reporting; in the interest of transparency, I would urge you to
still hold an AGM & produce financial reports for the benefit of members.
This would / should not need to be a fully audited report produced by an
accountant - anybody who is capable of entering info into QuickBooks can
produce a simple profit & loss statement to show where money has come from,
& gone to, over the preceeding year.

Do you need to get professional help in setting the Company up? While there
is a bit involved, it is all relatively straight-forward, & mainly involves
filling out govt forms (which, to anybody able to use the OSM wiki, should
be a piece of cake! :-)) Having said that, my experience is only with
Incorporated Associations, so a CLG may be a bit different, but shouldn't
be hugely more complicated?

Good luck with it all!

Thanks

Graeme

Hi Martin

 

I've only just started trying with the app, is there any word on when the
bug with ODB2 & BT getting fixed

 

Namely this open bug :-

https://github.com/openstreetcam/android/issues/125

 

My testing shows that you really need the ODB adapter when doing urban
streets as the GPS averaging is too slow to deal with the acceleration
changes.

 

Thanks Michael

Howdy.

We had a good time with the first OpenStreetCam competition, the winners
received their prizes, and we decided to hold another one. The main prize
this time is an OSC Waylens Horizon camera. This is a fairly nifty device
that lets you automatically record and upload to OSC. The competition is
open now until April 15th. As before, just collect more OSC points than
other mappers to win. Read details on the Telenav ImproveOSM blog:

stralia-and-new-zealand-competition/ .

Let me know if you have any questions, and Happy mapping!

Re: [talk-au] Sydney mapathon

[Dion Moult]

Hey all! I've started an event here: 
https://gettogether.community/events/1001/sydney-osm-mappers/

If you could sign up or comment there I can change the venue and time easily 
without spamming the talk-au list. I've changed the date to 30th March Saturday 
. it would also allow me to know who is coming and what to cater for if we get 
food.

My company in north sydney is open on weekends and I've received approval for 
using computers and guest WiFi. Also informal approval for getting pizza and 
drinks (non alcoholic).

Need a bit more approval from management to let strangers in the office (I will 
be liable, obviously) but I suspect I can host.
