[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Proposed Developers' Day in Birmingham- experienced volunteers wanted Sat May 22nd
We are trying to stimulate some local expertise up here to complement our surveying and increasing contacts with public sector bodies which will soon produce demands to produce more customised maps from our data. So we have got a small local TV production company(based in the centre of Birmingham) to donate us their conference facilities for a day on Saturday May 22 and wehave produced the following outline agenda Proposed outline of topics. It is a bit ambitious and we probably cannot include all of it in one day. It really depends on finding people with knowledge in the different areas. 1. A short introduction to free Maps and OpenStreetMap in particular - using datasets (data.gov.uk) - Ordnance Survey mapping (trace, import). - expand on use scenarios like footpaths and cycleroutes - customisation potential of OSM - perhaps including the license topic (see point 7) here? 2. The Basics: Adding a map to your website - How to use OpenLayers to embed a simple slippy map on a website. - Using different maps (Mapnik, Cyclemap, etc) - Adding basic map controls (scale, pan/zoom, permalink, etc) - Mention: Plugins for Wordpress, etc 3. Advanced maps - Using Nominatim to find locations or to do reverse geo-coding - Display information on top of the map (markers, lines, photos, ...) 4. Creating custom map styles - Cloudmade's style editor - Create map styles with mapnik - Overlaying transparent map layers 5. Beyond maps: Accessing the data - Using XAPI and SSS for overlays - Routing 6. Mobile Maps 7. The License A short explanation of what the current license mean for developers and what will change with the ODBL. These topic do not really fit with the web developers scheme of the day but might neveretheless be interesting for some: - Creating maps for GPS devices - Printing large scale maps Session four and five could perhaps be done in parallel. Session 1 and 2 being introductory could be offerd for the morning and th more advanced stuff for the afternoon so that potentially 2 different groups of developers/mappers could be catered for and eacxh night only have to give up half a day What we don't have is anyone with sufficient depth of knowledge or experience to deliver any of this stuff So anyone like to volunteer to deliver some of this ( or suggest any other topics which would be OK for an introductory day?

Re: [Talk-GB] Postcodes to Shapefile
GRASS seems to have some kind of Voronoi algorithm, but I find its interface very non-intuitive, so have not found it to try it out. This may be worth pursuing as an alternative route. As an aside: I notice that virtually all postcode boundaries are obviously created in this way. For instance the Philips Street Atlas shows totally implausible boundaries along the River Trent in S. Notts. Given that postcode boundaries are ultimately determined by logistically sensible walks for postmen, in this case it's pretty safe to assume that the boundary is actually the river. What this means is that by applying a bit of local knowledge and the existing points it is possible to create better delineating zones in OSM than appear in current mapping. Whether this is a good thing to do, or not, I leave for others to decide.

Re: [Talk-GB] OS Locator - using in JOSM
All, I've updated the wiki page with the code I've been using, and smartened up the instructions a bit. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bath/OSLocator_Comparison The code isn't perfect (for example, I don't think it works with street names which have an apostrophe - there are probably more problems: if you have a fix, just change the code on the wiki), but as all the checking is manual anyway, this shouldn't matter too much. Also, it is php, not python. You'll need php-cli installed.

Are you going to document the script? Or is it mentioned elsewhere and I’m missing it? I’m sort of tempted to try doing the same around me in Essex. Thanks Ed From: talk-gb-boun...@openstreetmap.org [mailto:talk-gb-boun...@openstreetmap.org] On Behalf Of Tim François Sent: 25 April 2010 20:51 To: talk-gb@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [Talk-GB] OS Locator - using in JOSM All, I've just had a go hacking the OSLocator data too for here in Bath. The results look promising: some streets are missing, some streets are spelt incorrectly, whilst others have a ref=* tag, but no name=* tag. What I've done doesn't automatically detect these subtleties of course: it just compares names in OS Locator with names of ways in OSM for the same area, and spits out the names which don't appear in OSM. The results are at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bath/OSLocator_Comparison Hope this will prove useful.

This gazetteer appears to complement the StreetView data - some (short) streets whose names are absent from StreetView are included in OS Locator. Conversely, some streets named in StreetView are absent from OS Locator. This has been on my todo list since the data came out. I'm hoping to get to it next weekend during the hack weekend but if anyone else gets to it first I'll do something else! -- Brian ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Re: [Talk-GB] GB Chapter
For finding out when is a good date: http://doodle.com/gbm9zezspi9tz6m4 Add your name, tick the dates that are good for you. I see this is on the talk-gb-wetmidlands list, so I'm also sending to talk-gb-thenorth for anyone who just reads that. We're planning a get together on a Saturday (for some mapping and) to discuss the formation of a GB chapter. Somewhere between Birmingham and London.
