[OSM-talk-be] How_to_map_a page in Dutch/French

[Marc Gemis]

I was wondering whether someone would be interested to set up a
How_to_map_a-page in Dutch or French. I consult  the German regularly for
things I tag frequently. I would be nice to have one in Dutch. see e.g.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_to_map_a
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:How_to_map_a

Those pages contain simple things such as benches (probably because not
everybody knows the English word), but also more "complex" things such as
life-rings, dogschools or manages for which one have to use a combination
of tags and which are more tagged by convention than by "fixed rules".

Before you say "Good idea, do it yourself" :-), Unfortunately I have no
time to do this. I still have traces with data from end of 2011 ! that I
have to process and input into OSM.

So maybe someone is looking for a nice little project but does not have
data to put into OSM  ??? :-)

It's not exactly clear what message you're trying to bring here. Anyway, if
you want an extract of your own house from cadastre, you can simply go and
ask at the city hall. Somebody also showed me this website on FOSDEM:

 http://ogc.beta.agiv.be/gdiviewer/?simple=false

It only works for Flanders, but it's pretty nifty.

Of course, it's probably not wise to copy from it to add data to OSM
(unfortunately). I already found some errors on it, where a new street was
created recently.

I have no idea how they would react if we were to ask permission to use it
as a background layer to draw from...

Anyway, maybe it solves the problem you have with the warped copy of a copy
of an extract of the cadastre.

[OSM-talk-be] Belgian cadastre

[A.Pirard.Papou]

  
  
Hi,

So, the French people use data from their cadastre to build OSM.
I have received from a notary an official map from the Belgian
cadastre.
Scan of a photocopy of a photocopy of... that's the technology.
It is wrong.
At first sight, there's an angle in one of the field sides that is
straight on land and on a geometer's map.  Further more, I tried
every trapezoidal warp I could and I was unable to make a fit
overlay to the PICC map (every time I adjusted one side, the other
one went wrong).
Anyone with a cadastre experience?
Why don't they send people geodesic coordinates or a GPX trace of
the fields?

Cheers, 


  

  André.

No worries Peter. I'm planning to show it in Lier. There is so much going
on at FOSDEM, one has to find a way to divide and conquer :-)

Ben, I hope the Hack weekend was productive!

The first week of July there will be another event around free software and
free content. The RMLL comes to Brussels this time! Usually it's somewhere
in France and last year it was in Switzerland. Too far away for me. But now
that it's nearby we should make sure we represent OSM there.

They would like we do a mapping party on the day for 'le grand public'.
I think we can do 1 or 2 presentations (introductory and more advanced) and
I think it's important we'll have a stand there as well. Maybe with 3 to 5
computers, so people can get some 'hands-on' experience.

And we need 'goodies', of course: T-shirts, but also anoraks/rain coats,
caps, high-viz vests. Cups, pens (muts/bonnet maybe for the die hard
mappers...) ?
Openstreetmap.fr is working on that, but I'm not entirely sure if they will
be with .fr or with .org then.

The first week of August there is the festival of Esperanza in Floreffe,
where OSM also has a presence, thanks to Pierre Willot.

Hi,

I was, as usual, also planning to visit FOSDEM but decided to go to the OSM
London Hack Weekend (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London_Hack_Weekend_Feb_2013) but I will
be able to meet you all in Lier again. Hopefully a lot of you will join
because I still haven't met a lot of the mappers on this list!

My compliments to the organizers of the stand, maybe next year I will be
able to join!

Regards,

Ben

Hi,

I payed a little visit a couple of times to the stand.
First estimates are there where between 5 and 7000 visitors there on 
saturday.

So the project should have had 'some' exposure :).
It was nice to have you guys at Fosdem.

Also want to say sorry to Jo.
He wanted to show me some stuff he had done, but unfortunatly I didn't 
have the time.

Hopefully I can find some time to join in Lier.

Peter 'toi' Leemans

We had good contacts with people at FOSDEM. This was a nice week-end ! 
A lot of contacts and meetings.


We were thinking that some question were very accurate. The Jo's 
presence was helpful for those questions. We should keep that in mind 
for next year.
