Thanks for that! osmwelcome.unitedbashers.com now redirects to the fancy url.

Yes, I have sent Johan the link to the Git repository 
(https://framagit.org/Midgard/osm-welcome-belgium). When the server is set up 
successfully, the DNS has to be reconfigured by you, the old instance shut down 
by me and its data files put in the new place by Johan and me.

It's done and working:

http://welcome.osm.be/

It would be great if OSGeo could provide us with hosting... thanks Johan!
:-) What does Ruben need to do...? Or are you guys already in touch?

Hi all,

OSGeo Belgium has a simple hosting instance at gandi [1] serving our
site ( http://www.osgeo.be )and the one for FOSS4G.be (
http://www.foss4g.be )

We have room enough to host another site.

Kind Regards,
Johan

Re: [OSM-talk-be] welcoming new mappers

[Ruben Maes]

I've just modified the server config to also recognize welcome.osm.be, so you 
can set the DNS to the same IPs as osmwelcome.unitedbashers.com if you want.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] welcoming new mappers

[Ben Abelshausen]

We don't have a location to run a php-based website at the moment but we do
have a server available and we can install the correct tools (webserver,
etc) if someone is willing to do that...?

As for the domain, just tell me where to point it and it's done. I could
also just redirect welcome.osm.be to
http://osmwelcome.unitedbashers.com/login.php but that's not the best
solution.

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Re: [OSM-talk-be] welcoming new mappers

[joost schouppe]

That would be really nice.

Also, you can just use the tool to check the changesets. That way someone
else (i.e. me) can send the community-invites much more quickly.

I believe every new mapper in Belgium should get an invitation to join the
local mailing list, the Forum, the meetup group, etc. But I can't keep up
by myself alone.

I've just put the source online at 
https://git.framasoft.org/Midgard/osm-welcome-belgium

welcome.osm.be would be nice of course.
If you want, you can also host it. The site would probably work a bit faster 
then. I can zip the files with the data and email them.

I just want to say this is awesome! Nicely done! :-)

Any links to the source code? Do I setup a domain using osm.be like '

Ruben, someone actually did, I believe it was Pierre Parmentier who made
the translation for us.
BTW, I'm having to log in again at every click of the button right now...

Marc, I see you've helped out analyzing the changesets. Did you also send
the welcome message? (you need to ctrl+c at the welcome message page, paste
it in the new tab, close the tab and mark the "I've sent this message"
button)

If native French speakers could review the French message, that would be great.

[OSM-talk-be] welcoming new mappers

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

As some of you know, I've been sending welcome messages to all new Belgian
mappers. First to let them know there is a local community (and how to find
us). Second to keep an eye on them, as some of them do break things.

Ruben made a nice little tool to make this easier. It could all be much
better (the source code looks ugly, according to Ruben), but I like working
with the thing. The only problem is: I can't find the time to look at all
the changesets and send all the messages. Especially as I still have to
catch up for my holidays in February.

More eyes means a better website. And if we get a tweaked a bit more, maybe
we can expand the toolkit to other countries. Of course, as Simon Poole
would say, the site is not necessary at all. It's just really damn
practical, especially if more than one person does the welcoming.

You are encouraged to make your own welcome message, but there is a French,
Dutch and English version available.
Go ahead and try; you can just log-in with your OSM account. If you need
more info, contact me and/or Ruben.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] welcoming new mappers

[joost schouppe]

Hi Jorieke,

Thanks for the feedback. I like copy paste, so I will copy your questions
and answer them one by one.

- now the oldest member is on top, maybe it is interesting to put the
newest member on top?
Good idea:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Aph66Gc0kPLddEhoSmhUc0Fqbm5HeFk2ZXRMVTFzMUEsingle=truegid=2output=html

- is there a possibility we can extend this list with old users? I think
this can be interesting to have an overview of all the Belgian mappers.
I'm sure Pascal Neis will be able to provide such a list. (I might be in
able to do so in a couple of months). I think he uses something like 'main
area of activity' to define your country. The question is, what are you
going to do with it? You get a bulk list of users, but you still have to
send them a message one by one.

- are mappers who are creating just one node in Belgium also included in
this list? How is it exactly working?
There's a neis explanation (pun very much intended) on this webpage:
http://neis-one.org/2012/04/where-are-the-new-openstreetmap-contributors/
In short: yes. If your first changeset is in Belgium, you are Belgian, no
matter how small the change. Of course, you can do a manual check using the
HDYC or userlink. Which I do, to educatedly guess their language. There was
one user with just a node, but he changed the name of a shop, so that's a
realy useful contribution.

- will you add this document somehow to the Belgian wiki?
Tell me where, and I will do it. Then again, it's a wiki, so go ahead and
copy-paste my diary post anywhere you see fit.

- In your welcoming message, you wrote something like type on google wiki
OpenStreetMap and what you want to map. I think it is better to point here
to the help tab on osm.org
My welcoming message is very much my personal take on what's important to
know. From may 1st I will be living in a motor home, somewhere deep in
countryside South America, so do write your own take on it and start
sending it around! I thought about following your suggestion, but I
checked. And Google (unfortunately) wins:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?search=garbage+bintitle=Special%3ASearch(correct
answer: no 5)
versus
https://www.google.be/search?q=wiki+openstreetmap+garbage+binoq=wiki+openstreetmap+garbage+binaqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i64l3.6154j0j7sourceid=chromeespv=210es_sm=122ie=UTF-8(correct
answer no1).
I'm still using Google Maps in those few uses where it's till better than
OSM. Please don't burn me at the stake :)

And two questions for the rest of you: anyone has 10 minutes a week
available to follow up? It is but a copy-paste affair. I would hate to see
this die on may 2nd.
I need someone with decent (preferably native) French to write a welcome
message too. I don't intend to welcome anyone in French with hair upon, if
you know what I mean.

[OSM-talk-be] welcoming new mappers

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

I just created a way to make it easy to welcome new Belgian mappers to the
community. I made a draft welcome message (in Dutch) available here (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ekf8tDrCoBQ39mHfN3LgNeyWKbEDqwCsVH3nyp5b5gs/pub)
and a self-updating archiving spreadsheet with the new members here (
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Aph66Gc0kPLddEhoSmhUc0Fqbm5HeFk2ZXRMVTFzMUEsingle=truegid=1output=html).
Full explanation is available in my diary:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/diary/21153

Please let me know what you think. And if you like it: I can use your help!

Regards,
Joost
