[Talk-GB] wiki confirmation code

[nkn]

Hi

I'm asked to enter a confirmation code after attempting to add some 
content to my wiki profile page for the first time.


Where do I get the confirmation code from?

Thanks
Nora

Re: [Talk-GB] OSMappers meeting in Norfolk

[nkn]

Hi

Robert - Thank you for the Norfolk/Meetups wiki page!

Jez - Adivce is hard to give after doing this for the first time but 
here are some thoughts. For the recent meeting, I received the most 
responses by writing to people individually via the Who is around me? 
site. Apparently not many people in Norfolk read this list (or simply 
enjoy mapping on their own). It is a bit time-consuming but it was worth 
it and I might do it again for the coming meeting.


In terms of date and time, I believe a weekend day and a time in the 
middle of the day makes sense for people to travel to the place. I 
preferred a public locality that can be reached by public transport. As 
it was an initial meeting, there was no thematic agenda but that could 
change in the future, depending what people prefer to do. However, I 
don't believe this occurs anytime soon as there is no routine 
established yet.


It would be great to read about experiences from people who frequently 
organise or join OSM meetings.


Regards
Nora

Good stuff!

Any advice to others about holding a meetup? Like, how people found 
out it was on.


Makes me think I should hold one in Brighton. It has been a while.

Yes, I think it went well, and many thanks to Nora for taking the
initiative and organising it. I've put together a quick wiki page for
what will hopefully be a series of Norfolk meetups, along with some
notes and links about the things we discussed:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Norfolk/Meetups . I'd encourage
others to add anything I've missed, and put links to their user pages
if they want.

Robert.

Re: [Talk-GB] Increase of mail size limit

Hi David,

If your struggling *that* much I can probably spare some old floppy disks
or CD-Rs :-P

Joking aside, please note I'm not asking for much here. A 40kb limit is
tiny and people do breach the limit occasionally. In this instance it was
~500kb. I ended up having to put the attachments elsewhere but that delayed
the post by 24 hours (it was already late and I decided to delay faffing
until the next day).

I also don't think an increase is going to result in the flood of "large"
emails that you seem to fear.

So with that in mind, I would still like my request to be considered.
Anyone know what the right channel to request this is? An email to the list
owner, a GitHub ticket, or other?

Thank you,
Rob

Re: [Talk-GB] TfL Cycling Infrastructure Database

[Jez Nicholson]

If Martin comes to the OSMUK AGM he could do a talk and/or we could host a
discussion.
