[talk-au] Fwd: {Adelaide Metro Developer Group} Open Street Maps Contribution
Hi,
I met this afternoon with Garth Walker from the SA Government DPTI who’s using
OpenStreetMap data with OpenJourneyPlanner for public transport journey
planning on Adelaidemetro.com.au
One thing that came up early on was a lot of footpaths crossing but not meeting
highways giving them and their users issues, e.g. from KeepRight
http://www.keepright.at/report_map.php?zoom=13lat=-34.91529lon=138.52762layers=B0Tch=0%2C191%2C192%2C193%2C194%2C195%2C196%2C197%2C198show_ign=1show_tmpign=1
If anyone is feeling like some armchair mapping here it would be most
appreciated.
One question I tried to answer for Garth is how could his area help
OpenStreetMap locally. I had a couple of ideas:
* A loan drone that I saw elsewhere today that can get images and integrates
into OpenStreetMap and seems practical, (at least in France) for mapping areas
without imagery quickly from 120m
* A Friday afternoon meeting for them to show us how they use OpenStreetMap
* Release of Survey Marks in SA for georeferencing
Are there any more ideas?
It was really helpful for me to find someone putting all of our hard work to
good use in a public way.

I'd like to say hi to the Open Street Maps community.
We've identified a few areas of improvement for South Australian Open Street
Maps which we would encourage contributors to focus on.
It would be really helpful to us and we're keen on building a relationship
with the community on this front.
We're keen to see improvements to walking paths, official bike ways,
accessibility detail, street address detail and points of interest such as
tourist destinations.

Would be great to participate in that convo.
Have being doing a lot of HOT stuff with Haiyan, and that has generated a
lot of possibilities for what I do during work hours (property industry) -
custom tiles, how quickly satellite data was acquired, use of the task
manager.
While my work interests are more on land than routing, would be neat to see
what can be useful to them.

Hi All,
(Kate from HOT, but I come to Australia at least once a year so I lurk on here)
I was going to suggest as another possibility a government sponsored
Mapathon. It could be a good way to get some new mappers interested
where having accurate transport routing is important to them
potentially outside of the traditional OpenStreetMap contributors.
Best,
-Kate
