Re: [OSM-talk-be] 'losse' wegen

[joost schouppe]

Dag Meannder,

De oorzaak lijkt me dat iemand al de opritten heeft ingetekend als vlak,
maar zonder ze te verbinden met de rest van de weginfrastructuur. Dat ziet
er wel mooi uit, maar het is volstrekt zinloos voor navigatie. En als je
dus een woning hebt die nabij verschillende wegen ligt, dan gaat de oprit
niet helpen om dichter bij je bestemming gestuurd te worden. Alleszins is
de foutmelding wel terecht: er zijn hier talloze verkeerseilandjes
gecreëerd.

Mvg,
Joost

[OSM-talk-be] MapComplete OSMbe project page

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

If you don't know MapComplete yet, go and read this - it's a pretty darn
awesome tool that pietervdvn has been developing:

https://hackmd.io/AevWR99NTYm-jPhc3nnEUw

We would like to add this to the OSMbe projects page at
https://openstreetmap.be/en/projects.html

If you have an hour to spare: could you improve my English? Would you make
a Dutch or French translation?
(it's written in markdown; you need to connect an account of your choice to
be able to edit)

Best,

Re: [OSM-talk-be] opendata for cemetery in Namur

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

I don't see why not, if you follow the
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines
Basically: make sure the data is good and is imported in a decent way; make
sure the community isn't opposed to it; check the license; discuss on the
import mailing list

As for the license, the CC-BY link on that page refers to CC-BY-4.0, which
unfortunately does mean you need an extra waiver for use in OSM.
More details at:https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2017/03/17/use-of-cc-by-data/

Good luck,
Joost

Hi Jo,

I'm missing a main tag on that relation. I don't know if any similar

could tag them with public_transport=mobipunt or something like that?

[OSM-talk-be] regional cycle routes in Brussels

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

I was always a little confused that the regional cycle network is mapped as
lcn in Brussels. Since this network is organized by Brussels-the-region,
not Brussels-the-city, it seems logical that it should have the rcn tag. In
fact, more so than the Flemish cycle node network, which is composed of
several networks and almost by coincidence covers the region.

This is also what we say in the wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Conventions/Cycle_Routes#Itin.C3.A9raires_Cyclables_R.C3.A9gionaux_-_Gewestelijke_Fietsroute

But the example given there (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9623 I
believe), is now mapped as an lcn.

Looking at the edit history, it looks like there was a minor edit war about
this, where user RoRay repeatedly changed it from rcn to lcn
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/8141976
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/12902663
(RoRay is still mapping, still using the not-very helpful default changeset
description "update")

User BenoitL tried to change it back to rcn (with much better changeset
comments :) - https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/12849599), but I
guess he gave up. Polyglot later seems to have mapped most of the other
routes; my guess is he just went with lcn because that's how the others
were mapped.

Apart from the network not showing up when it should on some maps, it
doesn't really matter much. However, bxl-forever is now mapping -actual-
lcn routes in the Brussels region, operated by Anderlecht municipality.
Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11544325
Putting both types of routes in the same level is just wrong IMHO.

Can anyone provide some more context? Based on my own research, I'd suggest
we simply retag all the regional operated routes from lcn to rcn.

Best,

[OSM-talk-be] join the OpenStreetMap Foundation

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

The OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) is there to support the OpenStreetMap
project. It has usually taken a bit of a minimalist interpretation of its
role - but with increased pressure on the project (slow tiles being the
most visible), the current Board is taking a somewhat more active approach.

For an overview of what we did since the last elections, have a look here:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/apm-wa/diary/393843

If you want to help set the course of the OSMF, you should join as a
member. This gives you access to the central discussion platform, and the
right to vote on Board members and special proposals.

We have just finished implementing a significant membership reform: until
now, membership was based on paying a fee, or "proving" you couldn't pay a
fee. That has changed: you can still pay a fee if you want to (or make a
more significant donation :)), but now it is enough to be a significant
contributor to the project to get you "Active Contributor Membership". That
contribution can either be 42 days of mapping over the last year, or some
other contribution (like organizing events or building software or ...).

Currently there's only about 1500 people making these decisions, so your
joining can have a significant impact on the project!

All the info is here:
https://join.osmfoundation.org/active-contributor-membership/

Most of the actual work in the OSMF is done by the Working Groups. We can
use all the help we can get: writing policy proposals, handling tickets
about vandalism or membership applications, working on our communication
outreach, ... For an overview of the groups here:
https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Working_Groups
Feel free to ask me anything about joining working groups!

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Mapping disaperead vicinal paths

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

While I don't mind disused:* and razed:* to keep these kinds of paths
somewhere in the database, it is my impression from previous discussions
that there is some consensus that paths that are really, really gone
(there's a building on top; or there's a lot of fences or overgrowth; it
doesn't re-appear from time to time) do not belong in OSM at all. Then
again, I've never seen anyone make a real effort to clean them out of the
database.

When someone starts adding a lot of this kind of path as an actual highway
type, then they should be stopped.

Mathieu,
You say "He denied reverting the changeset, arguing that mapping those
paths was a way to put pressure on the Commune and the owner in a
discussion about the openness and accessibility of surrounding paths for
the general public. He promised to delete the date once the case will be
closed."
I only see one changeset discussion, so I assume you discussed this in
private messages? If you make a few changeset comments, maybe some other
people can join the discussion there. Hopefully we can still change their
mind about this; if not we'll need to revert some changes.

Best,
Joost

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Properties sitting in the corner of streets

[joost schouppe]

Hi Mehmet,

This isn't something we would map in OpenStreetMap itself. I'm sure on GIS
fora you will find hints on how to do this analysis.

Two more strategies off the top of my head:
- download the parcel data (see
https://www.geo.be/catalog/details/tt098dcb-f5c7-49b8-8e0b-7c3811630d85?l=en)
and use that in combination with your other data. You could keep just the
sides that do NOT share a border with other parcels. Then for every
subsegment of the border, find the nearest street. If the parcel has more
than one different nearest streetname, it might be on the corner. You might
even look at angles of subsegments to rule out false positives and false
negatives
- simply look at the addresses on this building. Sometimes corner houses
have an address from both streets. Or look at the addresses of the nearest
buildings (use streets as barriers)

Hi Pierre,

When I had some questions about this, I looked deep into the history of the
boundaries, and got a rather detailed answer from QuercE. But this was
mostly about part-municipalities in Flanders, so I don't know if it's of
much use to you.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Renderen van addr:flats

[joost schouppe]

Sander,
I absolutely agree with this!
However, as much as I am a fan of CRAB, I don't really trust the
subaddresses. They caused me way too many headaches when I still worked in
the city of Antwerp. Anecdotally, I've surveyed one building for
subaddresses near me, and there was zero correlation between what was on
the post boxes and what was in CRAB. So while I agree the info is useful, I
wouldn't recommend importing it. And a cursory glance at the data shows
that almost all addr:flats we have, are in fact imported. See
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/V7K - the vast majority here has the tell-tale
source:geometry:date tag from the GRB import; the ones I checked that
haven't seem to be CRAB-imports.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Renderen van addr:flats

[joost schouppe]

Most of this data comes from the GRB import, I would guess. So it comes
from CRAB. We use the addr:flats to map the "subaddresses".
It seems a little weird to not be able to add the subaddresses on the same
object that has the main address.
The CRAB import tool mentioned this as an optional tag, that is not so
useful for OSM:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/AGIV_CRAB_Import#Optional_tags.2C_provided_by_the_tool
I would concur that the quality of the data is not good enough to import it.
Both examples come from endless_autumn, who did a rather quick-and-dirty
GRB import - a lot of which was reverted.
The GRB-import-validator Midgard made actually flags the flats tag as
"consider removing" as well.
That said, the wiki doesn't say much about the logic of "subaddresses",
maybe we shouldn't use the addr:flats tag -at all- for subaddresses?

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Changing default maxspeed for Brussels in 2021

[joost schouppe]

Hi Yves,

Sounds good. We'll need to update at least these pages:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Maxspeed#Belgium
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:source:maxspeed#Belgium

Have you given it any thought how we might organize the update efficiently?
I thought perhaps the ways now tagged with source:maxspeed=[something
urban] could be bulk-edited after the change, but it looks like many of
those roads might actually change to explicitly signed 50 during the
transition. So I'm thinking we need to review ALL the roads with a maxspeed
again after the change. To do that, maybe we could take a dump before the
change and use that for some sort of mapping challenge, or add a tag to
indicate that the maxpseed should be reviewed (the risk being that people
might correct the maxpseed and not remove the tag).

Best
Joost

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Telenav Mapping Project

[joost schouppe]

Hi Adrian,

Looking forward to your help! Do post here or on our Riot when you start
the real work.

Error fixing is always helpful. Having looked at the Improve OSM tools, I
don't see how it could help you much? OpenStreetCam is rather limited in
Belgium (most of us contribute to Mapillary instead, but the day someone
provides a server that feeds both projects, I'm sure we'll switch to
that!). And for the Cygnus tool, you need government data. There is road
geometry, but the differences are largely because the official data is
lagging. I'm not aware of Brussels traffic sign data.

Best,
Joost
p.s. I really enjoyed CLuj Napoca when I was there many years ago

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Telenav Mapping Project

[joost schouppe]

 Hi Adrian,

To add to that, there's an overview of all the channels at our local
chapter's website: https://openstreetmap.be/en/contact.html

We have decent Mapillary coverage, but are constantly looking to get more
and better cameras for our volunteers (hint, hint).
There is good and recent imagery (properly indexed both in the imagery
layer index and the JOSM index). There are also good basemaps from the
government, which you can use for mapping.

As always, both imagery and basemaps can be outdated - sometimes OSM is
ahead, sometimes it isn't. There's quite an active community, so be mindful
of the last edit date on object (I should know, I recently messed up
JanFi's work).

What data will you be basing your edits on? I would think that Brussels is
mapped pretty well, so it might be hard to improve remotely.
It might be useful to start off with just Notes, so that we can review them
locally. That might avoid any editing conflict.
I think the most active mapper in Brussels is bxl-forever, might be useful
to engage him directly.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] cycling allong the R4 in Gent

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

These tagging issues always make me uncomfortable :)

Against "use_sidepath" in this case:
- it's a trunk road, so no cycling anyway (Wouter)
- the cycle path can be seen as just a path that happens to be near the R4;
it doesn't -really- have a relation with the road itself (escada on Riot)
- the confusion with the part that DOES have a cycle path shouldn't happen;
that shouldn't be a trunk road! (Wouter)

In favour of the use_sidepath:
- it clearly shows there's an alternative
- there's several roads mapped as trunk in Belgium that do have a cycle
path. Should we change all of them? And if we change our minds (or someone
else just changes things again), then the cycling info might suddenly be
useful again
- it makes it slightly easier to understand the situation when mapping

Since there is no clear opposition to use use_sidepath in this case, I
think I'll change it to that.

[OSM-talk-be] cycling allong the R4 in Gent

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

When working on a data extract for the Gents Milieu Front, I stumbled opun
this situation:
On most of the trunk part of the R4, you cannot cycle.
This is expressed in the following ways:

bicycle=no (example https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/306470852)
bicycle=use_sidepath (example https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/146891504)
no explicit tagging (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/222886580)

Here's the entire stretch with color coding:
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/SBQ

The first is correct, but doesn't tell you whether there's a decent
alternative
The second is probably correct, and is quite useful for the analysis we
happen to be making
The third option is correct, but is a little uninformative, especially
since you actually ARE allowed to cycle on some parts of this same R4

As today's data consumer, I'd prefer the second option to be universally
applied. II would strongly prefer some consistency though. What do yall
think about this?

Re: [OSM-talk-be] BIPT antennas

[joost schouppe]

Hi Vucodil,

I haven't followed closely, but I do have a general request: if and when
you start working on this with actual changesets, make sure that any
changeset comment has a link to the relevant wiki page, and that the wiki
page starts with an explanation on how to handle this data as a regular
mapper. So things like "please do improve this data if you think there's
something wrong" and outlining the known issues in the data. Sometimes
mappers are afraid to touch things just because they are imported.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Tagging proposal for cycling highways (Fietssnelwegen)

[joost schouppe]

Hi Jo,

I think that's the right thing to do, thank you.

What I'm still a bit unclear about: if the route itself is unfinished, but
large sections of them are, then I would think the finished parts do
deserve a "ready for use state". We talked about this briefly before, maybe
someone here has an idea how to split up the route (say F3) in three types
of subrelations :

- usable, ready and waymarked (so similar to any "normal" cycle route)
- usable but not ready or waymarked (here the route is proposed, I'd say)
- unusable (here the ways themselves are proposed)

As stated by Stijn and Eebie, the connections "invented" by Jo don't belong
in OSM. However some of these detours are in fact waymarked. For example,
in the cycle highway Brussel-Halle there is an official detour that will be
in place for two years. I'm not sure if this kind of situation needs to ge
in a fourth type...

Joost

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Tagging proposal for cycling highways (Fietssnelwegen)

[joost schouppe]

To pick up s8evq's last point, the difference is that LF is fun, and F is
functional. That makes a big difference, especially for route planners, who
should know if their user are looking for a nice stroll or a good route to
work. I looked into this before, and don't remember seeing any worked out
proposal for tagging that. Shouldn't be too hard to invent something though.

As for the BE:cycle_highway: isn't this is very much a Flemish project? And
if ever it gets decently connected to the Brussels networks (or Wallonia),
will it be a concept that is similar enough to the current Flemish project
to fall under the same tag?

Hoi,

Op 18 december organiseert de Rode Kruis afdeling van Beveren een mapathon.
Wellicht gaan Jo en ikzelf ter plaatse om te helpen. Maar versterking is
meer dan welkom.

En ook fijn om gewoon wat te komen mappen natuurlijk!

[OSM-talk-be] OpenStreetMap Foundation elections

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

Every year, there's an election of the OSMF Board. Usually, one or two
people step down. The longest serving member needs to do that, and others
who decide that they spent enough time on the Board can decide to stop.
This year, there's four seats open!

Now is a special moment in the election cycle: all 10 candidates have
written up a manifesto and have answered questions coming from the
community. You can read it all here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/AGM19/Election_to_Board/Answers_and_manifestos

If you're a member of the OSMF, you should have gotten some election
updates already. We're 17 Belgian members btw, which is an avarage number
compared to nearby countries.

I myself am going into my second year on the Board and simply will continue
my membership there, for now.

[OSM-talk-be] fietsstraten in Mechelen

[joost schouppe]

Hoi,

Mappers in Mechelen, een klein projectje: de stad heeft het gehele centrum
aangeduid als "fietsstraten". Zie: https://www.mechelen.be/fietszone

De tagging wordt hier uitgelegd:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cyclestreet#Belgium

Aangezien echt het hele gebied dus maximumsnelheid 30 en cyclestreet=yes
krijgt, is het een relatief eenvoudige edit. Anderzijds is het wel
gemakkelijk om hierbij fouten te maken (bijvoorbeeld per ongeluk ook de
huizen aan te duiden als cyclestreet ofzo, ik vind het niet uit). Dus vraag
gerust live hulp via Riot: https://riot.im/app/#/room/#osmbe:matrix.org

Good afternoon,



My name is Joana Pereira, and I am lecturer and researcher in the area of
online communities at Leeds University Business School, in the UK. I have
been studying OpenStreetMap for a while, and many participants worldwide
have talked about the Belgium community and the way you were able to
reconcile different languages on the map. I need your help to understand
how the Belgium community operates, as I would like to include your case in
my study.



With that purpose, I am inviting OSM Belgium members for interviews through
skype or phone. Anyone interested in participating can just reply to my

I would like to request if you could disseminate this invitation across
this mailing list.



I am looking forward to your answer.

I had an extended interview with the Geopunt team once, and made similar

people keep badgering them about that. So I hope you did :)

[OSM-talk-be] Belgian tiles in a umap

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

I've created empty projects for using the Belgian tiles in your umap
projects:

http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/nl/map/empty-umap-belgium-tiles-in-het-nederlands_367163
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/nl/map/empty-umap-tiles-belgique-en-francais_367162
http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/nl/map/empty-umap-bilingual-belgium-map_367161#7/50.580/4.790

Just click on the "share" button, choose the "Full map download" download
option. Then create a new map, click the "upload button" and upload the
.umap file you just downloaded.

Or you can just take your existing umap project, watch this 12 second video
and choose between these layers:

Re: [OSM-talk-be] map of EU institutions in Brussels

[joost schouppe]

Hi Robert,

A building might have more than one office, and one might be EU the other
not. But don't worry: I'm sure using overpass you can make a query that
finds the building a POI node is "inside of". Usually at
help.openstreetmap.org there are people willing to help with building such
a query.

I see you got more feedback at the tagging mailing list. As also mentioned
there, I think the country=EU might be a decent tag to be able to group all
of them.

[OSM-talk-be] tags for prohibitory road signs in Belgium

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

s8evq has been consulting some heavy mappers about the "road signs in
Belgium" wiki page, because it didn't seem to reflect how we actually map.
There's a draft new page at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Road_signs_in_Belgium#Suggestion_for_an_update_of_the_prohibitory_signs

Feel free to comment here or on Riot if you think it can be further
improved!

[OSM-talk-be] ordering channels in the Community Index

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

The ID editor (not JOSM unfortunately) tries to link mappers to local
communities by showing them after each save. Until now, the list was
ordered by a global setting. Since a few days, they can be ordered based on
inputs from the local community. I'd like to do that, but I'd like to refer
to some public discussion about what we want to show.
We also use the index for this page, so we would be changing the order
there as well: https://openstreetmap.be/en/contact.html

I would suggest this ordering:
riot: because that's where most action is at
meetup: because that allows you to easily stay up to date about OSM events
in in Belgium
talk-be: historically our main channel, and still the best place to have
more complicated discussions
forum: easy to use for some, and does have some activity
irc: not really a separate channel, but a way to reach the riot channels.
Used by only a few people, but really easy to use for those who already use
irc
twitter: more for outreach than for communicating, but still useful
facebook: we're only there because we felt we had to :)

Any comments?

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Neighbourhoods in Ghent mapped as a point

[joost schouppe]

I thought about this idea some more, and I'm not sure it's a good idea to
use ALL the polygons. Municipality governments tend to have several
competing "wijk" concepts, that usually are not official (ask me how I
know). Their names might coincide with what citizens think of when they say
Brugse Poort, but they might be defined differently. For example the Gent
"wijk" boundaries are bound to be based on statistical sectors (as defined
by statbel). But when those don't exactly match with your idea of a
neighborhood, they still are respected for practical reasons. The "wijk"
boundaries also cover the entire territory, even if there is no local
concept of the area being a "wijk" in the heads of the citizens. E.g. I
don't think anyone would say they are from "Stationsbuurt Noord".
I would propose only adding polygons for those neighborhoods where you feel
they are clearly defined (i.e. verifiable). This should be enough to stop a
data user from applying a "Malem" label to an address that is clearly
outside that neighborhood, without labelling all adresses with a
semi-random neighborhood.

The fact that "wijken" do not exist as a Flemish or Belgian level
administrative devision, means that it is hard to define how they should
the admin_level structure for admin_boundaries in Belgium; even if the
municipality would have officialized their existence at all.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] folk sports in Belgium

[joost schouppe]

Thanks for the suggestions! I already added krachtbal before I even saw
Ruben's message :)
I'll add petanque too.
If you tell me what tags to look for, I can add more sports. One tiny issue
is that Mapcontrib does not do labelling based on object properties, so you
need an Overpass query for every sport you add. And it queries all of them
at the same time, which makes Overpass say "stop it you data hog". I guess
I could fix that by referring to different Overpass instances though.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Dodentocht

[joost schouppe]

Another positive thing: they did attribution right :)

But using the OpenStreetMap.org tiles for a big production website is not
right. They are financed by the community for mostly internal use. Larger
websites using them run the risk of being blocked. Maybe the site hit some
rate limitations, or maybe it was just a bad day.
The Belgian tile server can handle quite a bit of server load, but also
come without guarantees. You could get in touch with Jonathan from geo-6,
to analyse if our server can handle the load. My guess is it probably would!
Of course, if you want real guarantees, you should go with a commercial
solution or host tiles yourself (see for example
https://switch2osm.org/providers/).

[OSM-talk-be] folk sports in Belgium

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

After a bit of research, I retagged all "kaatspleinen" / "place de pelotte"
to sport=pelota. I think this is a decent tag for this. Folk sports are
hard, because there are local variants, and you have to decide if you want
to tag with the very specific local way of playing or keep it simple and
generalize a bit.

I took advantage of the moment to create a little map of the 90 fields in
Belgium:

https://www.mapcontrib.xyz/t/adc0b8-Folk_sports_in_Belgium#

Which other sports should I add to that map?

[OSM-talk-be] GRB import in progress

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

Since a month or two, we have been scaling up the building import in
Flanders, based on GRB buildings. We have summarized the instructions in a
ten page presentation, and it is now really easy to get started. You do
need JOSM, but the list of functionalities needed is really limited.
However, we don't want to end up with silly stuff like this [1]. The actual
data integration into OSM is not easy:

- the source data is a bit outdated (we are working on that!), so buildings
might be missing or razed by now. Even when it's not GRB can be behind
reality.
- the GRB buildings have CRAB-addresses merged to them. That merge might be
wrong, so you have to check all buildings! Or the building might have
several entrances, perhaps on more than one street. So then you need to
make address nodes
- the tool makes an educated guess as to what the building type is. But
that guess can be wrong, so again you have to check all the buildings.
There are also some building types (like "verdieping") which need special
attention.
- you have to conflate with existing data (merge histories for existing
buildings; make sure you don't put buildings on top of other objects) and
we expect you to care about ALL the data, not just the building data

Overall, I don't think you can usually properly import more than a few
hundred buildings per hour. But it's nice to see the map fill up with
buildings, and finally have some decent address coverage.

If you would like to join us in mapping the missing buildings in Flanders,
start reading here:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/AIV_GRB_building_import

We have a support group on Riot where we check each other and are happy to
share tips. You do need JOSM, but the list of functionalities needed is
really limited. So it's a good time to learn how to use it!

It might be easier to learn this in person. Join us at any Meetup in
Flanders or Brussels, there will always be someone who knows about the
import. Or ask us to have a Meetup near you. We're always looking for an
excuse to visit your town :-)

Pour la version française de cet appel:
https://2019.foss4g.be/papers.php?lang=fr
Voor de nederlandse versie van deze oproep:
https://2019.foss4g.be/papers.php?lang=nl
To immediately jump to the full information in English:
https://2019.foss4g.be/papers.php?lang=en


After many successful events in the last years, OSGeo.be will organize
another edition of the FOSS4G Belgium Conference on Thursday 24 October
2019 in Brussels. We are looking for contributors who want to support
this event through a presentation.

FOSS4G conferences gather developers and users of Open Source
geospatial software from around the world to discuss new directions,
exciting implementations, and growing business opportunities in this
domain. Recent years have seen substantial changes in the geospatial
industry. One of those changes has been the growth in maturity and
adoption of Free and Open Source solutions. In many cases organizations
are using a mixture of open and closed source solutions.

We will share knowledge and experiences during the whole event through
presentations and demonstrations with 25 minutes each at most.

To submit a proposal go to http://2019.foss4g.be/submit-paper.php.

Looking forward to hearing from you !

Best wishes,

The foss4g.be team

[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: Mis de kans niet om mee te denken over de toekomst van Geopunt

[joost schouppe]

Iemand zin om het gebruik van Geopunt.be door OpenStreetMap-gebruikers te
gaan toelichten? Goeie kans om eens te vragen om OpenStreetMap
achtergrondkaarten in te bouwen :)

Beste Joost Schouppe,


Mis de eerste Geopunt Communitydag niet op dinsdag 24 september om 14u in
het VAC Gent. U krijgt er de kans om mee te denken over de toekomst van
Geopunt. Help ons bij het uitstippelen van een richting voor het geoportaal *en
schrijf u vandaag nog in
<https://vlaanderen.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=75cf74117d8248dc5420d71eb&id=5b86370490&e=d8f226ffca>.*

*Wat gaan we doen? *
Medewerkers van Informatie Vlaanderen geven u de nodige uitleg, maar we
willen ook enkele gebruikers van Geopunt aan het woord laten. Zo ontdekt u
misschien waarvoor u Geopunt kunt gebruiken in uw eigen werkprocessen. De
sprekers vertellen in maximaal tien minuten waarom ze Geopunt nodig hebben
voor hun job en welke toepassingen ze gebruiken. We zoeken hiervoor nog
kandidaten. Zou u graag getuigen? Laat het ons ten laatste op vrijdag 12
juli weten via informatie.vlaande...@vlaanderen.be.

Er is ook ruimte voor uw ideeën en feedback over de toekomst Geopunt. We
sluiten de dag af met een netwerkmoment.

Het volledige programma maken we bekend in augustus.

*Praktisch*
De Geopunt Communitydag vindt plaats op dinsdag 24 september in het
auditorium van het VAC Gent van 14u tot 17u. U kunt nu al inschrijven *via
dit webformulier.*

Re: [OSM-talk-be] bridge or tunnel?

[joost schouppe]

Hmm, how about this case:

https://play.osm.be/historischekaart.html#18/50.84125/4.03590/dhm_hill-osmroads
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=50.8409878896054&lng=4.035847194701205&z=17&pKey=CemcYfldMKwaCCdn0eK2bQ&focus=photo&x=0.5005982815044207&y=0.34925403860156434&zoom=0

It's a road that was dug under a slightly raised train track, but it looks
like a bridge. Or is it bridge for the road, tunnel under the train, bridge
again :) ?

Talking about money: now is the time to buy your tickets:
https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2019/05/24/sotm-2019-ticket-sales-opened/
Early bird community tickets are just 75 euro, which is probably less than
the cost for the food you'll be getting during the event.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Importing polygons of administrative boundaries for Belgium into OSM

[joost schouppe]

NGI data is not open as far as I'm aware. Cadastre is not accurate. You
could look at Statbel nis9 open data. And for Flanders there is the
"Voorlopig Referentiebestand Gemeentegrenzen", which is generally
considered the best quality (note how it's called "voorlopig" though).
So there is no single objective truth about where the borders are. As long
as this situation persists (and it's Belgium so there is little reason to
think this will be fixed soon), I don't see why OpenStreetMap should follow
any of these sources closely. As long as this persists, looking at the
different datasets (as well as some ground observations) with a human eye,
seems the best way forward to me.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Relations: wanneer? waarom?

[joost schouppe]

Ik ben in Portugal eens een dorp tegengekomen waar alle gebouwen volgens
die logica gemapped waren. Vond ik toch wel heel lastig te bewerken.

Veel van dit soort situaties worden veroorzaakt door ID (de web-editor).
Als je daar een bestaand vlak "verknipt", wordt er automatisch een relatie
van gemaakt, ook als dat aan het einde van je bewerking niet meer nodig zou
blijken.

Als algemene regels zou ik zeggen:
- als je duidelijk ziet dat de situatie "per ongeluk" complex is geworden,
dan kan je het gerust terugdraaien
- als je ziet dat een "complexe" stijl eens uitzonderlijk in een verder
"simpel" en eerder leeg gebied gebruikt wordt, dan kan je vereenvoudigen.
Anders loop je het risico dat nieuwe mappers het zien, denken dat het zo
hoort en het verder overnemen
- als je ziet dat het in dat gebied toch wel af en toe gebruikt wordt, dan
kan je beter eens met de mapper contact opnemen en je bedenkingen delen.
Eventueel kan je ook contact opnemen met de lokale community (vaak kan je
die via https://community.osm.be/ vinden). Bepaalde stijlen van hoe precies
iets in kaart brengen op grote schaal zonder discussie toepassen, wordt
nogal gemakkelijk als vandalisme beschouwd. En zelfs als er een akkoord
over zou zijn, ben je toch nog altijd verondersteld voorzichtig en stap
voor stap te werk te gaan. Met andere woorden: je bent alvast goed bezig
met op voorhand deze vraag te stellen.

[OSM-talk-be] join us at State of the Map

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

Every year, the global OpenStreetMap convenes for a long weekend of
presentations and workshops about the state of the map. More than just a
chance to learn new things, it is a place where you get to meet all those
people you only know by their username or e-mail.

Last year, for State of the Map Milan, a small group of us Belgians rented
an AirBnB together. It was fun and cost-effective.
This year, it's even closer to home, in Heidelberg, Germany.

Please send me a message if you would like to join this years' group!
The sooner we know how many people will join us, the easier it will be to
find a nice place. I aim for mid June to start organizing, so let me know
by then.

For more details about the event, check out https://2019.stateofthemap.org/

[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Awards 2019 Call for Nominees is open!

Subject: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Awards 2019 Call for Nominees is open!
To: Talk Openstreetmap 


Hi folks,

'Tis that time of the year: only a week until SotM Call for Papers
closes, and time to think not only of your talk, but to remember
everybody who has inspired you over the past year. We are preparing the
next installment of the OSM Awards: please help us collect a long list
of people worth honouring.

http://awards.osmz.ru

As always, please sumbit people and projects you have noticed to the
website. Do not choose between who to mention and who isn't "worthy":
this is a call for a long list, which will be shortened later by a
closed voting. You can nominate yourself. You can nominate a friend.
Please do. The only limitation is that the person or a project must have
done something public after the 1st of June 2018. Basically, in the past
year. A link would be great.

This year, there are some changes:

* Gone are the three regional categories. Sorry. On the other hand, I'm
happy to notice people from less represented countries being very active
in the community, and receiving awards in the general categories.

* Now only people are accepted to the six main categories. One or a
pair, real names or OSM nicknames: not teams and not companies. Please
google authors of the software you'd like to nominate (though if you
insist, we can do it ourselves).

* Teams, groups and companies go to a separate category: Team
Archievement Award. SotM organizing teams, Esri and like, JOSM
developers and groups like that, all go here. If you want to nominate a
single leader or a developer, consider other categories. If you want to
nominate a vague group of people who did something great, this is the
category.

The call for nominees ends in July. Which does not mean you can postpone
and eventually forget about the call. Please read the next WeeklyOSM
with the idea of nominating people in mind. Look at tools you use and
blogs you read. While saying thanks to a neighbouring mapper, consider
nominating them. By doing that, you validate their efforts and make
their year a little brighter. We all need that.

Please nominate: http://awards.osmz.ru

And if you have time, please contribute to the website translations:

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Straatnamen op kaart

[joost schouppe]

Dag Philippe,

Zou dit geen oplossing zijn?

https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/nl/map/streets-with-names_317158#18/50.87290/4.18484

Werkt redelijk op mobile, je kan het toegang tot je locatie geven, en als
je niet direct een label ziet, kan je nog klikken om het te krijgen.

Als een weg in blauw verschijnt heeft het een naam. Als er helemaal geen
lijn extra verschijnt, is er gewoon geen naam.

Natuurlijk niét geschikt als je gewoon een generieke app wilt.

[OSM-talk-be] Automated edits related to the GRB import

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

The GRB building conflation is now in beta-testing. Join us on Riot (
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#osmbe:matrix.org - or through OFTC for IRC) if
you want to be an early adoptor.

On the imports mailing list, there were some comments on the data model we
used. In previous iterations, the toolset would at these tags to any
building of which the geometry comes from GRB:






Glenn has simplified this to:



These tags make it easy to use the tool for detecting missing or improvable
buildings, and for continuous maintance of the link between OSM and GRB.
Now to keep the tool simple, we'd like to change all the objects that still
have the old style tagging. Since that is an automated edit, one needs to
follow the rules (as documented here
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct)

I have written a little script to do this. It just does the simple cases,
because the complicate cases are quite rare and can probably just be done
by hand.
Everything seems to work. You can download an example changeset
(West-Vlaanderen) here: https://we.tl/t-eMdVhq239N
The sript for the parser is here:
https://github.com/joostschouppe/little-grb-parser/blob/master/parser%20xml.sps
Starts with the Overpass query you need. Sorry, the code is written in
SPSS. That's just the language I speak best.
If noone objects (and I get some confirmation it doesn't have stupid
mistakes), I will do this province-by-province or in smaller chuncks if
necessary. It takes just a few minutes to get from download to upload, so I
don't foresee any editing conflicts.

use my "joost schouppe import" account. I'll add a little section to the

Re: [OSM-talk-be] National Mapathon 2019

[joost schouppe]

Hi all,

The registration page is up: https://mapathon2019.eventbrite.com
(it contains all the details)

We are still short of volunteers in Mons, Liège and Namur. Let me know if
you are willing to help out! The other location can always use an extra
hand too. Below the pages to register as a volunteer (or simply send me a
massage).

[OSM-talk-be] National Mapathon 2019

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

We're supporting the National Mapathon again!
This year, the events will be spread over three days, with most of them
during the week in the evening. There is no registration page for "normal
people" yet, but I've just put up some pages on Meetup to help find OSMbe
volunteers to help out at all the locations. For data quality, that is
essential. And it can be a lot of fun too!

On Wed. March 27th, there will be events at:
ULB (Brussels) - 18:00-21:00
UCL (Louvain-la-Neuve) - 18:00-21:00
KUL (Leuven) - 17:00-20:00
UMONS (Mons) - 18:00-21:00
https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/258984672/

On Th. March 28th:
VUB (Brussels) - 18:00-21:00
ULiège (Liège) - 18:00-21:00
Unamur (Namur) - 18:00-21:00
UGent (Gent) - 18:00-21:0
https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/258984694/

On the 30th, there will be events at:
UCL (Louvain-la-Neuve) - 10:00-13:00
ULiège (Liège) - 10:00-13:00
https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/258984724/

You can also contact me directly if you want to help or just have some
questions.

[OSM-talk-be] Lancement de formations en cartographie sur QGIS - 28 & 29 janvier 2019 à l’ULB

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

Our friend Maelle asked to inform you about their upcoming QGIS training,
in Brussels, in French. All the info below!


-- Forwarded message -
From: Mathieu Strale 
Date: jeu. 23 déc. 2018 à 11:36
Subject: Lancement de formations en cartographie sur QGIS - 28 & 29 janvier
2019 à l’ULB
To: Mathieu Strale 


Bonjour à tou.te.s,
Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer l’ouverture de *nouveaux modules de
formation*, organisés par l'Institut de Gestion de l'Environnement et
d'Améngement du territoire (IGEAT-ULB) et qui vous permettront d'apprendre
à *réaliser des cartes au moyen du logiciel QGIS* à *l’Université Libre de
Bruxelles*.

La *première session* de formation de deux jours aura lieu les *2**8 & 29
janvier 2019*. *Les inscriptions sont ouvertes pour cette session*.

*Une deuxième session aura lieu les 20 et 21 mai pour le premier module de
formation, et les 23 et 24 mai pour le second module.*

Les *informations détaillées* sur ces formations et le *lien vers les
inscriptions* sont disponibles ici :
*https://cartulb.ulb.be/  *
*Nous le savons, la cartographie constitue une source de données de base
pour l’analyse, la planification, le suivi, et l’évaluation des actions de
développement dans de nombreux secteurs, que ce soit la prévention des
risques naturels, l’environnement et la gestion des ressources naturelles,
l’aide à la décision dans les domaines de la santé, du développement urbain
et rural, du développement économique, de la gestion de la population, de
la résolution des conflits, etc... Une bonne carte peut faire la
différence, que ce soit pour localiser un phénomène, ou pour communiquer
entre institutions.*

*Or, il n'est pas toujours facile de s'y retrouver parmi les outils
disponibles... De plus, une maîtrise mal assurée de ces outils conduit à de
mauvaises utilisations et peut avoir des conséquences déplorables en termes
de communication et décision. Pour avancer sur ce sujet capital,*

*QGIS est un outil de cartographie libre, gratuit, très complet, qui offre
des possibilités plus étendues que Google MyMaps pour ne citer que
celui-là. QGIS permet par exemple de réaliser des cartes hors-ligne, de
générer des cartes grands formats, de charger les fonds de carte Urbis ou
IGN, et de gérer un nombre pratiquement illimité d'objets et de couches.
Enfin, les cartes peuvent être publiées en ligne ou exportées pour être
réutilisées.** Ce sera aussi l'occasion de partager des expériences entre
apprenants, collègues, et, finalement, d'en ressortir avec une vision plus
large qu'en ayant simplement regardé un tutoriel en ligne.*

*Des questions?* n'hésitez pas à contacter Mathieu Strale (mstr...@ulb.ac.be),
notre responsable de formation.

N'hésitez pas à diffuser ce mail à vos contacts si vous pensez qu'ils
seraient intéressés.

En attendant, nous vous souhaitons de très belles fêtes de fin d'année,


L'équipe de
formation

Re: [OSM-talk-be] arlon - osm - training courses

[joost schouppe]

Pierre,
This is incredible, we should try this in different places too. How exactly
did you manage to get a dozen people to show up for a thing like this?

If they are serious about mapping, JOSM is of course the better choice to
teach them. But if you have the feeling they might just edit occasionally,
I think it would definitely be worthwhile to show them around in iD too.
Especially if they might map at work, only just needing to install

Did you show them how to automatically keep their umap up to date? I find
this easier to do in MapContrib btw - a very simple example:
https://www.mapcontrib.xyz/t/3d3aa1-Wildlife_crossing_map
(though umap is working on an easier interface to add overpass layers)

Re: [OSM-talk-be] OSM.be versus OpenStreetMap.be

[joost schouppe]

Hi Doudou,
I don't think anyone has a local domain to show the same as what
openstreetmap.org shows. In fact, I think most people believe
openstreetmap.org should look more like what the local websites look like,
rather than the other way around.
In the previous version of osm.be, there was in fact a link to "oh you just
want to see the default map" somewhere prominent on the page. I think it
was a conscious choice -not- to do that this time, but maybe we do have to
offer an alternative to that. For example: "I just want to see the map"
which leads to a page explaining there is only "the" database, and many
maps. With of course a link to the openstreetmap.org rendering of the map.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] official meeting on November 13th

[joost schouppe]

Hi,
Because we sent this message real quick (because of the deadline of Oct
28th) it was only in English. The invite mail to the members will also be
in French and Dutch. But since this is already an official announcements,
it's good practice to provide translations. I'll do it now for Dutch. If
anyone wants to reply with a French translation, that would be awesome.
Some people were surprised not to find themselves on the member list. This
is based on the "Join" form on osm.be, and was subsequently cleaned by
asking people to reconfirm their membership sometime later. Unfortunately,
the registration form is down at this time. If you have any issues or want
to register now, please contact me or bo...@osm.be

One more agenda item by now: we are looking into a somewhat formal project
with the Flemish Red Cross. It would be a good time to make sure no one
sees issues with that.
And a correction: we don't "aim for a week", we've already set a date and
place: November 13th at "de Markten" in Brussels.
---

Ter gelegenheid van het feit dat OpenStreetMap-Belgium nu een officieel
Local Chapter van de OpenStreetMap Foundation is, vonden we het tijd om nog
eens na te denken over onze organisatie. Tijd voor een officiële
bijeenkomst! Deze zal doorgaan op 13 november. Je kan online deelnemen via
het Riot-kanaal speciaal voor meetings:
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#osmbe-meetings:matrix.org) of face to face in
café De Markten in Brussel . Het idee is dat het een bijeenkomst is zoals
de gewoonlijke meetups, maar met een officiële agenda. Iedereen die lid is
(wat betekent dat je op deze lijst staat:
https://members.osm.be/list.php?lang=en_US) kan stemmen, en we kunnen
stemmen over alles wat op de agenda staat. Deze agenda moet afgesloten
worden op 29 oktober, dus deel eventuele agendapunten zo snel mogelijk door
hier or privé te antwoorden.

Topics waar we zelf aan dachten:
* beslissen over een code of conduct (voorstel staat op
https://github.com/osmbe/working-group-bylaws)

* de werking van de board evalueren: manier van werken, aantal leden,
wanneer verkiezingen?

* verfijnen wat het betekent om lid te zijn (minimumvereisten, beter
uitleggen)

* hoe meer leden actief krijgen?

* huidige prioriteiten en sluiten ze aan bij wat de leden willen?

* mogelijke samenwerking met het Vlaamse Rode Kruis

Als je dat wil, dan kan je inschrijven via
https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/255829090/
(of laat het weten)

Iedereen is welkom! Maar om te stemmen moet je al 60 dagen lid zijn. Je kan
dit nakijken via http://members.osm.be/list.php

Leden krijgen nog een uitnodiging per mail.

[OSM-talk-be] official meeting on November 13th

[joost schouppe]

 Hi,

OpenStreetMap Belgium is now an official Chapter of the OpenStreetMap
Foundation. Time to take the organisation a bit further: so let's have an
official meeting. We would aim for the week of November 13th for this
meeting. Participation can be online (dedicated Riot channel:
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#osmbe-meetings:matrix.org) or face to face in
Brussels. The idea would be to have the usual discussions, but also have an
official agenda. Everyone who is a member (which means being on this list:
https://members.osm.be/list.php?lang=en_US) can vote; and we can vote on
anything that is on the agenda. The agenda has to be closed two weeks in
advance, so please share your ideas by October 28th.
Subjects we had in mind ourselves:

   - voting on the proposed code of conduct (
   https://github.com/osmbe/working-group-bylaws)

   - evaluating the board: way of working, number of members, new elections?


   - further defining what it means to be a member (minimum requierements,
   better explaining)


   - how to activate more members?


   - current priorities and are they in line with what the membership wants?

We made a meetup event for those that like that:
https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/255829090/

Anyone is welcome, but to be able to vote, you need to have been a member
for at least 60 days. You can check if you are a member on
http://members.osm.be/list.php

Members will also get an invite through the membership mailing list.

All the best,
Ben, Jonathan & Joost

[OSM-talk-be] OSM.be versus OpenStreetMap.be

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

Since OpenStreetMap Belgium recently became an official Local Chapter of
the OpenStreetMap Foundation, we finally got the www.OpenStreetMap.be
domain. Everything is set up now that this domain refers to the existing
osm.be website and subdomains.

That means that www.osm.be is still the most important url. Since OSM is a
less known term than OpenStreetMap, I would personally prefer to use the
full version as the primary address, with OSM.be still working but just as
an alias.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Joost Schouppe

Re: [OSM-talk-be] cadastral plan now open data

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

André asked to include the WMS of this service by default in the JOSM
repository. A long conversation ensued. Some of the confusion is caused by
the fact that the WMS probably contains outdated license info. I have now
asked the FOD Finances for a second time to clarify this. The ticket was
closed, which is probably a good thing, as it is probably not a good idea
to show this data by default in JOSM anyway!

But even for the license of the downloadable files the JOSM team seemed a
bit worried: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/16693#comment:7
When I read the license, I felt attribution requierement in the license was
defined loosely enough that mentioning it under Contributors would be
enough. It would be nice to hear from other people how they interpret this
license.

After successful events in 2015, 2016 and 2017, OSGeo.be will organize
another edition of the FOSS4G Belgium Conference on Thursday 25 October
2018 in Brussels. We are looking for contributors who want to support
this event through a presentation.

FOSS4G conferences gather developers and users of Open Source geospatial
software from around the world to discuss new directions, exciting
implementations, and growing business opportunities in this domain.
Recent years have seen substantial changes in the geospatial industry.
One of those changes has been the growth in maturity and adoption of
Free and Open Source solutions. In many cases organizations are using a
mixture of open and closed source solutions.

We will share knowledge and experiences during the whole event through
presentations and demonstrations with 25 minutes each at most.

To submit a proposal go to http://2018.foss4g.be/submit-paper.php.

Looking forward to hearing from you !

Best wishes,

[OSM-talk-be] cadastral plan now open data

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

The cadastral plan is now open data for the entire country!

That's pretty big because:
- for Wallonia, it's the first open vector data with parcels, buildings,
roads and road names.
- contains "underground buildings" which were not available anywhere AFAIK.
- there's a dataset with roads that have some kind of
"erfdienstbaarheid"/"servitude". This might be of use for certain dubious
paths

But of course, please note:
- there is way more data where this came from - the attributes of the
parcel are not included (like building levels, number of units, landuse)
- Belgian cadastre data has a bad reputation in general so do not trust
everything you see. The building geometry seems to be quite poor,
especially when it comes to exact positioning, not so much the shape itself.
- do not trust road name data (it doesn't follow the CRAB name, so not
official in Flanders). Names are often abbreviated
- the roads do not form a network, there are duplicate geometries and some
geometries are outdated by half a century
- there is pretty good metadata included. However, you might find data that
does not follow the explained model

The license file is included in any download. It seems to be compatible
with OSM, but it would be nice if more people give it a good read. The
first one to use it for mapping, does need to add it to
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contributors

The data is in shapefile format (b!), but Philippe Duchesne has made a
download site where you can get it in geopackage format. There is also a
"view" link. To actually see the data there, find the big switches to
activate the layers you want to see. The bigger ones take a while to load!

[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: Oplijsting fietssnelwegen - hulp gezocht

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

The Fietsersbond would like to know how much of the Fietsostrades are
already realized. They are looking for some volunteers to help them do
that. Problem is that nobody really knows, and Fietsersbond needs to know
this to be able to give an estimate of their cost to inventarize the
network in detail. The data that will be created will be open data
afterwards.
it will probably be something like "look at the desired network data, match
it to the underlying road network, and if there is a path or cycleway or
road below it, consider it as needs-inventory". I think. Anyway, if you
think it's interesting, read the mail below and contact Thierry by mail or
phone (see below).

Subject: Oplijsting fietssnelwegen - hulp gezocht
[...]
Het departement Mobiliteit en Openbare Werken van de Vlaamse overheid heeft
op 24 juli een bestek uitgeschreven om alle fietssnelwegen
 in Vlaanderen
te auditen (met een meetfiets). *De offerte hiervoor moet ingediend worden
op 24 augustus!*

Het departement noch de de Vlaamse provincies, die mee trekker zijn van de
fietssnelwegen, weten hoeveel kilometer fietssnelweg er effectief al ligt
op het
terrein. Dit komt omdat heel wat fietssnelwegen "wenslijnen" zijn, en dus
voor een deel gewoonweg nog niet bestaan.
Anderzijds komt dit ook doordat er verschillende wegbeheerders zijn
(Administratie Wegen en Verkeer voor de gewestwegen, gemeenten voor de
gemeentewegen
en de Vlaamse Waterweg voor de jaagpaden).

Wat we nu voor de offerte moeten doen is een zo *nauwkeurig mogelijke
inschatting* maken van het effectief te auditen kilometers fietssnelweg.
In de praktijk komt het erop neer dat we op basis van terreinkennis, OSM,
google streetview, mapillary  en eventuele andere bronnen,
op een Google Maps kaart (die al aangemaakt is) segmenten gaan aanmaken
(m.a.w. lijntjes trekken) waarmee automatisch het aantal km berekend wordt.

Ondertussen hebben we met 4 vrijwilligers een flink deel opgelijst (zie
bijlage), maar er zijn er 3 die binnenkort weeral op verlof vertrekken. Ik
ben dus nog op zoek naar 1 of 2 personen die tussen nu en maandag nog
kunnen helpen met oplijsten.
Ter info nog: Prov. Antwerpen valt al af omdat wij dat al gedaan hebben. En
verder ook alle fietssnelwegen die op gewestwegen liggen, omdat de
wegbeheerder AWV
dit al doet.
Limburg en een groot deel van West-Vlaanderen en VL-Brabant is al gedaan.
Vooral voor Oost-Vlaanderen is nog hulp nodig.

[OSM-talk-be] meet mappers in Aalter

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

Because we're meeting someone in Aalter for fixes with regard to the
municipality fusions address changes [1], Pieter, Seppe and I set up a
meetup there!
So if you live in the area and would like to meet some mappers or have any
question at all about OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap Belgium, join us
there. The best way to let us know you're coming is by registering at the
meetup event page [2]

Hope to see you there!

As simple as this: way["access"="no"][!"foot"]
The !foot part means "there is no foot=* tag present".
Example: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/AJy

Of course, nodes can also have an effect on routing. For example, you could
add the code below to query barrier nodes which have an access tag but not
a foot tag.

node["barrier"]["access"][!"foot"]

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Vakbondskantoren: office=labor_union of office=trade_union ?

[joost schouppe]

Die labour_union in Halle komt mij bekend voor :)

Als ik dit artikel goed begrijp, dan is trade union gewoon hetzelfde als
labo(u)r union. En is trade union precies de courantere term in het Brits
Engels.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_union

Op de wiki vind ik enkel bij office=ngo een verwijzing naar unions, maar
dat vind ik toch wel een beetje raar klinken. Misschien kan je die wel
gebruiken als "algemene term" voor wat we in het Nederlands het middenveld
noemen? Dan hoort het VOKA daar bijvoorbeeld wel thuis.

Toch nog eens naar tagging kijken...

Re: [OSM-talk-be] integrated Routeplanner GraphHopper on osm.org strange result

[joost schouppe]

Hi Jakka,

I suppose it is related to this issue:

https://github.com/graphhopper/graphhopper/issues/1215
(that is the correct place to post errors of this kind I think)

I think Graphopper allows this to happen because NOT doing so would be a
bigger error. It often happens that the authority that defines the cycle
route does not communicate with the authority that defines access for
bicylces, and then you get situations where you can't drive into the street
you have to ride into. Example:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/202425978#map=18/50.75460/3.72778

I would suggest reclassifying the road to highway=construction +
construction=cycleway. Given the description in the Note, that seems to be
more correct than the current tagging.

Hmm, define start_date. If Aalter swallows up Knesselare, is that a new
start date or not? Anyway, if you want to know the start date of
municipalities in Belgium, I'd recommend contacting Statbel, in Flanders
try Agentschap Binnenlands Bestuur.

[OSM-talk-be] build your own routing options in Osmand (an idea for your OSM meetups)

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

You might have noticed pietervdvn's [1] diary articles [2][3] about
tweaking the Osmand router. With OSM Belgium, we invited him to do a
workshop about this subject [4]. I think it was really fun, and relatively
easy. I'm not a coder myself, but I managed to make a switch for the
pedestrian routing that will radically prefer paths when plotting a route.
Not meant for going from A to B, but for when you want the nicest possible
trip to go there [5]. For now, it just strongly prefers paths and the like,
and smaller roads over bigger ones. But you could make it prefer unpaved
paths for that natural experience. The adapted xml I used is available in
Pieter's repo [6]. There are more examples there, as well as the original.

The only thing you need to do is take an existing routing xml, name it
routing.xml and drop it into the folder where Osmand will be looking for it
(usually /sdcard/Android/data/net.osmand.plus/files/ ). The only issue we
ran into is that this did not work on all Android phones. If you're an
Osmand specialist, hints would be welcome.
Pieter's presentation [7] quickly goes over the basics of routing and how
this is implemented in Osmand.

Pieter put a big effort in documenting the original routing.xml, to make it
much easier to understand and tweak. Fortunately, this has now been merged
into the Osmand repository. So you can start from the version there as well
[8].
It's also possible to make entirely new routing profiles, like "speed
pedelec routing". In my xml, you'll find this in the "boat" profile
(because it works, not because it makes sense). To be able to use that, you
need to activate the plugin for Osmand development and activate special
routing profiles under the settings of that plugin.

Feel free to ask for more details, though we don't know everything! I'll be
at SotM, so feel free to ask me more there too.

Easy and fun projects could be:
- prefer roads without maxspeed when routing your streetview collection
drives
- follow cycle routes unless impossible for your scenic motorcycle or
oldtimer tours

I decided to send this to talk to inspire others. Doing an event like this
shows the incredibly cool things you can use OpenStreetMap data for, as
well as being a relatively accessible way for non-coders to taste the power
of open source.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] streetname changes (and a community to-do list)

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

Most of the work on street names has been done already, which you can
admire here:
https://www.mapcontrib.xyz/t/2d975c-Geplande_adreswijzigingen_gemeentefusies

One more thing to think about: new municipality polygons. I suppose we just
create a new one for each of the new municipalities. But:
- should we map them already as "future boundaries" or do we wait?
- what to do with the old boundaries? We map part-communities at
admin_level=9. Most of the new fusions will already have them. We could
replace them with the current level 8 borders. But since "part communities"
do not exist officially, we can basically just decide what we want to do.
We map them mostly because this is what people know about where they live.
And most definitions of part-communities (though usually vague) start from
"municipalities as they existed in 1976" or similar. My proposal would be:
if there are already part-communities, don't touch them. If there aren't,
downgrade current level 8 to level 9.

Feel free to extend the wiki about it:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Municipality_Fusions#New_official_codes_and_names
And please add anything you're working on to the planning page:

Hi Frank,
Yes, that is the last sub-task on the Github issue (thanks to Escada for
thinking about that). I think once all the streets are mapped, someone
better at querying could probably write something that takes highways with
a proposed:name tag and selects everything nearby that has an addr:street
tag identical to the current name tag of those highways.
Then there's also the (probably few) streetname relations to think about.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] streetname changes (and a community to-do list)

[joost schouppe]

There is now an interactive map of the work already done:
https://www.mapcontrib.xyz/t/2d975c-Geplande_adreswijzigingen_gemeentefusies

It works by querying things with a "proposed:name" and
"fixme:name"="WikiProject_Belgium/Municipality_Fusions". So only if the you
add those tags, your edits will show up.

[OSM-talk-be] streetname changes (and a community to-do list)

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

As you may know, there are some municipalities that will be merged
officially on Jan 1st 2019. One of the things that affects us about that,
is that a lot of addresses will change, as these new municipalities want to
avoid having more than one street with the same name in the same
municipality.

With OSMbe, we're doing a small project to make sure this is mapped well in
advance, and we can be up to date with the new names a few days in advance.

Since all of our organisational stuff is on Github, I've put an overview of
the project and it's tasks there:
https://github.com/osmbe/community_planning/issues/2

You are welcome to help on any and all of these tasks, as well as post
different issues there for other things you think OSMbe should be doing. If
it works, that could become a sort of community to do list, where people
can just pitch in whatever time they have.

[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: [OSGeo.be-Announce] foss4g.be: Call for presentations - Appel à présentations - Oproep voor presentaties

[joost schouppe]

Apply now to present at Foss4g!

Just like last year, OSM-be is involved in planning and programming. Stuff
related to OpenStreetMap is welcome. For "niche" stuff, we might make a
special OSM track. If your talk is more for a general audience, it might
make the main track.

To: belgium-annou...@lists.osgeo.org


Dear all, Goeie dag, Bonjour à tous,


Pour la version française de cet appel: https://2018.foss4g.be/papers.
php?lang=fr
Voor de nederlandse versie van deze oproep: https://2018.foss4g.be/papers.
php?lang=nl
To immediately jump to the full information in English:
https://2018.foss4g.be/papers.php?lang=en


After successful events in 2015, 2016 and 2017, OSGeo.be will organize
another edition of the FOSS4G Belgium Conference on Thursday 25 October
2018 in Brussels. We are looking for contributors who want to support this
event through a presentation.

FOSS4G conferences gather developers and users of Open Source geospatial
software from around the world to discuss new directions, exciting
implementations, and growing business opportunities in this domain. Recent
years have seen substantial changes in the geospatial industry. One of
those changes has been the growth in maturity and adoption of Free and Open
Source solutions. In many cases organizations are using a mixture of open
and closed source solutions.

We will share knowledge and experiences during the whole event through
presentations and demonstrations with 25 minutes each at most.

To submit a proposal go to http://2018.foss4g.be/submit-paper.php.

Looking forward to hearing from you !

Best wishes,

the foss4g.be team

[OSM-talk-be] SPW PICC, orthophotos and terrain model now available for tracing

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

Thanks to Vincent Bombaerts and the friendly people at the Service Public
de Wallonie, we can finally use some of their most important WMS services
without potential legal issues. They have provided a license granting us
permission to use it for tracing. I've made it available throught the wiki:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:OSM_license_for_SPW_WMS_usage.pdf

The license only applies to the mentioned WMS services and does not apply
to vector data. Hopefully this is only the first step of many more!

For us, this can finally put an end the semantic discussions about whether
or not the SPW standard license is compatible with OSM or not.

Thanks, but it is a community effort, but most of the praise should go
towards Ben Abelshausen. He did the initial work to find out what we needed
to do, and set up the "administrative process" to get us started (bylaws, a
membership). jbelien did most of the tech stuff (integrating the website
and the membership with our mailchimp account etc). I think my role can be

[OSM-talk-be] volunteers needed in Mons, Namur and Liege for the national mapathon

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

We've found volunteers to help out with the mapping activity in most of the
cities participating in the National Mapathon this Saturday.
But Mons and Namur would be very happy to have a volunteer too!
You can decide yourself what to do, but it could include giving the "how to
map introduction", walking around to look for problems and validating data.

Reply here, in a private mail or register on Meetup (and be sure to mention
the city/cities you could help out):

Re: [OSM-talk-be] trage wegen in het Dendermondse

[joost schouppe]

Met deze query hou je enkel de gevallen over die nu geen weg meer zijn
(geen highway tag):

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/wAi

In principe zouden deze dus niet ingetekend mogen zijn, al is het op deze
manier natuurlijk wel veel minder fout dan die in Dendermonde. Maar ik heb
de indruk dat er niemand van wakker ligt?

[OSM-talk-be] trage wegen in het Dendermondse

[joost schouppe]

Hoi,

Vijf jaar geleden, I kid you not, heeft er iemand alle buurtwegen in
Dendermonde ingetekend als note="nummer van de buurtweg", en niets meer. Er
zijn nu nog steeds een 500-tal over. De mensen van Trage Wegen vzw hebben
me erop gewezen.
Een beetje jammer dat we dat zolang niet gezien of geneerd hebben, maar wel
een goede gelegenheid om eens iets te testen.

Dus heb ik even dit in elkaar geknutseld:

https://www.mapcontrib.xyz/t/6d1770-Trage_wegen_als_Note

Deze kan je zowel thuis gebruiken als op mobiel om terreinopname te doen.
Alle gevallen verschijnen hier op de kaart. Als je je account koppelt, dan
kan je aangeven of de weg verdwenen is (1), nog bestaat maar een slechte
geometrie heeft (2), gewoon nog bestaat en vanaf nu een weg mag zijn (3),
en of je het al even bekeken hebt, maar deze duidelijk ter plaatse moet
onderzocht worden (4).

In geval 1, 2 en 3 verdwijnt het van de kaart. In geval 4 gaat het naar een
andere categorie die ook op de kaart staat.
In geval 1 wordt de way aangeduid als een disused:highway=road (en die
mogen eventueel verwijderd worden).
In geval 2 wordt een fixme=resurvey tag toegevoegd. In deze gevallen heb je
niet veel aan mapcontrib, want daar kan je geen geometrie aanpassen.
In geval 3 moet je nog wat info over de weg aangeven. Soms ga je dan een
traffic island maken, dus die check moeten we dan achteraf nog doen.

Als je op het informatie-icoontje klikt, krijg je wat extra info; o.a.
links om changesets met deze mapcontrib kaart te zien.

Als je de kaart zelf wil verfijnen, dan kan ik je account als beheerder
toevoegen. Of deel je ideeen hier.

Lijkt me ideaal om mensen die in de streek wandelen mee aan te spreken, en
een goeie testcase voor gelijkaardige oefeningen op basis van
tragewegenregister of paden in wegenregister.

[OSM-talk-be] national mapathon 2018

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

The third National Mapathon is coming up!
Eight universities across the countries will open their doors for some
humanitarian mapping. Last year, about 300 people showed up.

Of course, we want quality mapping, and we're counting on you to help them
do that. So we need volunteers at all the locations to walk around and keep
an eye on the quality. We'll need validators to watch as much data as
possible as soon as possible. And we need some people to be on the lookout
for possible future heavy mappers and organizers. Some of our current core
members were recruited at the previous events :)

Sign up for volunteering through the meetup page:
https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/247922954/

To just come map with us, you'll be able to sign up through:
http://nationalmapathon2018.eventbrite.com
(site will be up in a few days)

Re: [OSM-talk-be] low emission zones

[joost schouppe]

Jo, that's right. The Antwerp one was supposed to be "everything within the
ring road". But you need to put the infrastructure somewhere, and then the
polygon needs to reflect that infrastructure exactly (i.e. it should be
impossible to get fined if you stay out of the polygon). I was involved in
this fine-tuning in my previous job.

We still need to translate the access restrictions into tags.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] temporary cycle routes

[joost schouppe]

@Ben: I was also thinking about proposed, but I don't like how this is not
in the main tag. Instead of route=bicycle + state=proposed, I would prefer
something like route:proposed=bicycle. Then you automatically break
data-use that hasn't heared about these 2000 objects worldwide that have a
breaking extra tag. I can see how that would be annoying. Still, the
specialists (cycle layer, waymarkedtrails) seem to know about it, so I
suppose that ship has sailed.

@all: so it would be OK to map "official detours", if signposted.

Subquestion: But a Fietsostrade is more than a cycle route, it also comes
with certain assumptions about road properties (much like a car motorway
does). The official detour would definitely be missing those features. I
would say that as long as there is no one-on-one between the route and the
road features, data users should not make assumptions about "this is part
of a fietsostrade route, hence it will have fietsostrade infrastructure".

of roles within a relation.
