Re: [Talk-GB] Food Hygiene ratings

[Paul]

Coincidentally, Chicago have open-sourced their tools for allocation of 
food hygiene inspections.

I guess the archive of fhrs scores can help in similar.

Re: [Talk-GB] Ideas for quarterly projects

[SK53]

Certainly round Nottingham many Notes persist because they remain relevant.

In Tendring poleclimber adds notes from planning applications. New notes
tend to get looked at by someone present on the osm-gb IRC channel within a
short time of them appearing and spurious ones get closed.

We get plenty of notes via MapBox which are in areas where we don'
t have mappers and therefore it is not possible to close them without a
specific survey.

I worry that a focus on clearing Notes & Fixmes would end up in the removal
of useful information. So I'm not in favour of this for a quarterly project.

I would also add that Andy (SomeoneElse) has created a very simple to use
 way of
grabbing a set of notes or fixmes and creating a GPX file which can be
loaded into a GPS or smartphone for mapping on the move.

[Talk-GB] 90 new defibrillators

[Andy Mabbett]

Central England Co-operative has just announced that it has recently
installed 90 defibrillators "across 16 counties" in our region (which
in their terms includes Norfolk & Suffolk, so CCd to GB list).

They have provided a list of locations (but sadly not coordinates):

   https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mappa_Mercia/Defibrillators#Co-op

Please check whether those local to you are in the map, and if not,
add them (after completing any necessary on-site survey), as described
at:

   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:emergency%3Ddefibrillator

Then strike from the list on the wiki.

They say they have "hundreds more planned for 2017".

Just to highlight that that's two items:

*Disabled parking Spaces

* GLAMs - Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums. As with schools
we could turn points into polygons, add names, URLs, street addresses,
Wikidata items, and other info.

[Talk-GB] 2017 Quarterly Project 1

[Brian Prangle]

Hi everyone

We seem to have had a proliferation of ideas (see below) but a strong
consensus has eluded us. Missing/incorrect road names are  basic attributes
for our map and attracted some interest but are probably best left to a
quarter that's warmer and with longer evenings (Q2 if no-one
objects).Notes/fixmes appears attractive but it needs more than folk in the
West Mids to buy into it.

Regards

Brian
