Re: [Talk-ca] BC2020 Calgary Challenges and Best Practices
Hi Steve, Thanks for the detailed JOSM install manual on Mac! This is very helpful to the participants of our next mapping events. Personally, I do not use a Mac - just wanted to raise a point, why it might be difficult to use JOSM in mapathons. Thanks anyways, Tim On 2018-03-24 00:09, OSM Volunteer stevea wrote: Tim, I offer you relatively simple steps which work on macOS High Sierra.

Re: [Talk-ca] BC2020 Calgary Challenges and Best Practices
Whoops, put a closing quote on the alias (I truncated an apostrophe at the end of that line). And, of course, press return at the end of commands to the shell (command line interface). After this, you can "go get plugins" and configure them as you like. Now you are off and running JOSM on a Mac, I hope.

Re: [Talk-ca] BC2020 Calgary Challenges and Best Practices
We experienced the ‘no bbox issue’ using the latest version of Firefox (however, it doesn’t work on Chrome either). The bbox in iD is present when using Firefox ESR version though. Maybe we really should only use JOSM even for mapathons. The installation is a bit more challenging (esp. apparently on a Mac) and, of course, there are far more options to choose from (and mess up ;-) ). But using the building tool plugin only combined with shortcuts A B S and X is IMHO not more complicated than iD.

Re: [Talk-ca] BC2020 Calgary Challenges and Best Practices
Combination of bringing their own and facilitators from Durham Region using their work laptops. To simplify things, we could set up a few facilitators with JAVA-installed machines. From: john whelan Sent: Friday, March 23, 2018 11:54 AM To: James Cc: Jonathan Brown; Talk-CA OpenStreetMap Subject: Re: [Talk-ca] BC2020 Calgary Challenges and Best Practices So one way would be to teach a subset of JOSM? I had Carlton mapathon with new mappers do building outlines in JOSM, its very simple, fast and accurate a much better tool than iD for building outlines. However it does need JAVA on the machine and a few minutes set up. Question to Jonathon who do the machines belong to? If its the students own then ask them to install JAVA before they come and we can sort out some fairly simple instructions. If they are provided then you may need to check the policy on what can be installed.

Re: [Talk-ca] BC2020 Calgary Challenges and Best Practices
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020#The_data_that_could_be_mapped It's a bit understated but adding the type of building terrace, detached etc and the number of stories is of great interest. House numbers as well if not present. This is all boots on the ground or local knowledge stuff that cannot often be done from imageryand there isn't a problem with the outlines being drawn incorrectly. This is the data that is simplest to map for new mappers and cannot be done any other way. The building outlines, well NRcan are looking at making these available through the Federal government open data portal beside the work that Stats can is doing. To me accurate building outlines can be brought in from Open Data perhaps not this month but in the foreseeable future.
