Re: [OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[Marc Gemis]

I am confused. In your first reaction you seem to indicate that my survey
article is too technical for the website and that it should go in a diary.
I was hoping that such type of articles could be posted on osm.be as well.
That is why I made the suggestion of a separate section with more technical
articles. Now you suggest it is ok to put them inder blogs?

As for the what to map idea. While a summary belongs under projects, a full
article should mention how you find the items during a survey, how to map
them or where you can see them on a map. Do you think that part does not
belong in a blog post on osm.be, but in a diary?

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[Ben Abelshausen]

Hi Marc,

Feel free to add your website-wishlist items here, some of us work on this
when we have time:

https://github.com/osmbe/website/issues

Let's think specifically about the technical articles idea, but it's
difficult enough keeping the website up-to-date as it is. I feel reluctant
to add features without someone absolutely commited to keeping the
information up-to-date. A blog is generic and can be anything, events,
articles, news, etc. and thus easier to keep going.

We can definetly feature new posts somewhere on the landing page!

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Ben Abelshausen

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[Marc Gemis]

To be honest, I was hoping there would be a spot for some more
technical articles as well.

So I would like to see

Projects: describing the things we do , targeted towards new users
News: really news: mapathons, mapping parties, new  apps, etc.
Blogs: Mapper of the month, (and perhaps more technical articles as
well, otherwise those have to go on diaries on osm.org)

A "what is new section" would be nice to highlight articles that were
added the last ... days. Automatically populated.
An "index section" and/or search, especially for the blogs part.
Projects should fit on one page anyway :-)

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[Ben Abelshausen]

I wouldn't make things too complicated on the website, my point was that I
see the OSM.be website more as a communication channel between community
and outside world, not as an inter-community communication tool, we have a
lot of those already, wiki, diary posts and this list. The website should
be a portal to get people in belgium interested in OSM, to communicate
about OSM activities in belgium (to both our own community members but also
newcomers).

Again, my point of view, we can discuss... ;-)

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[Ben Abelshausen]

I mean the diaries on osm.org yes... ;-)

I have always seen Mapper of the month as a perfect fit here, it showcases
what we do, that most of us are 'regular' people (I mean, not all of use
are GIS professionals or software developers). It also helps the mappers
being interviewed to tell others about their work and we show our
appreciation and respect for what they do.

We can always change the menu's on the website to say 'Blog' or something!
;-)

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[joost schouppe]

I see this particular page as a sub-page of the Heritage Mapping Project.
But it could also be part of a "Go out and map" project.
The Mapper of the Month posts could also be seen as a sub-page for the
Mapper of the Month project.

I'm not sure where these sub-pages should live though.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[Marc Gemis]

With diary post, you mean diaries on osm.org ? Or are you describing
the differences between Projects and News ?

Along the same lines: is an interview with a mapper really news ? Or
do we need a third type: "Blog posts" aka diaries or ... ?

Hi Marc,

I think these are very nice things to put on the website! The only
difference I see with for example a diary post is that OSM.be also tries to
be a recruiting tool and that communication is a bit different.

I would write short articles about a very specific activity we do, in this
case for example, I would shorten the article to an overview of what you do
and we can showcase how we (some of us) survey, to get people interested,
and use the diary to share specific technologies/ways of doing things with
the general OSM community. No problem linking to more details in the blog
on OSM.be

Those are just my thoughts on what we should do on OSM.be vs all the other
communication channels we already have, feel free to comment! :-)

Also: a series on what to map would be great but not sure how this would
work. I was also planning on writing about some of the talks I gave about
OSM last month, one of them was about mapping 'public space' and I used the
example of the statues in middelheim park! ;-)

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Ben Abelshausen

[OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[Marc Gemis]

Hallo,

yesterday evening I posted an article on how I prepare and make my
surveys. You can find it on the osm.be website at
http://www.osm.be/2017/04/21/en-post-survey.html . It's in English.
Feel free to translate it in Dutch and French.

I am wondering whether it would be interesting to write a series of
articles on "what to map". I'm thinking about lesser known topics such
as destinations, minor power lines, sluice gates, fire hydrants. Each
article should give some information how you can document it during
the surveys, how to add it in 1 or more editors, some maps or apps
where you can see the result.

What do think ? Do you want to read such articles ? Do you want to
write such articles yourself ? Review stuff that I write before it
goes online ? Translate them ?
Have an idea for a topic ?

Let's make the osm.be website more interesting.

regards

m.
