I still prefer my own pictures/notes above any other source. When the Mapillary plugin is ready/usable (september 2015?) this might be a great source, but it will also contain a lot of pictures that are useless for mapping. It also takes way too long before they are available on the map (3 days or so at the moment). Preferred formula: people collect data before the "mapping party", e.g. taking pictures in their own neighborhood. If you announce it before the holidays, they have 2 months to collect pictures. Not everybody will collect a few hundred pictures in 1 hour :-) During the party, we can teach them how to use JOSM to improve the map based on their pictures. Pictures can reside on their own disk or on Mapillary. But I prefer that they make their own notes/photos and that they do not have to start hunting for useful pictures from other people on Mapillary. The presentation that was distributed contained a section with ideas for photo's and things to map. I can give a few links to my photo website for additional ideas. regards m ___ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
[OSM-talk-be] Thanks for 25/4/2015
Just a little work to thank everybody who as contributed to the cartoparty on April 25, 2015 at ESI. The participants, despite some trouble at the beginning with the wifi, have been happy and some collaboration, eg with Gracq or the administration of Brussels (Atrium) that takes care to register the accessibility of all shops in Brussels (thanks to a team of people going to EVERY shops in Brussels), are foreseen. I dream of the day when the administration will use and improve OSM every day, and these field collectors will work first to improve OSM. Special thanks to Marc (2, Gemis and Ducobu), Jo, Michel, Geneviève, Peter, Gaël. We have been asked now to do another party, focusing on using josm to add (a lot) of data.
