[Talk-GB] London Mapping Marathons
Hi Guys, What are the chances we could do the London Mapping Marathons on Tuesday or Thursdays? There's a SOTM conference call every Wednesday from 8pm BST that makes it difficult to make it to the mapping parties.

OSM-F focuses on global issues, OSMF-GB focusses on local / national issues. This is just an idea, but I think are two quite different sets of responsibilities, that should actually reduce the bureaucracy for the local / national group. OSM-F * Licensing * Monitoring data inputs * Global outreach and partnering * Annual OSM-wide conferences like SOTM * Legal frameworks * Owning core API servers * Global membership OSM-F Local * Local community building and outreach * Local / national conferences * Local / national press contacts & outreach * Supporting local user groups in mapping and outreach * Running local websites * Local membership schemes -- Nick > > > -- > Jonathan (Jonobennett) > -- -- Nick Black twitter.com/nick_b ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

When Local Chapters are up and running, the OSM-F will be focussed more on issues that affect the whole of the OpenStreetMap community. Things like maintaining the central DB and API, legal representation for things like licenses, organizing the annual SOTM, running the osm.org websites, merchandising and so on, will be more of the focus of the OSM-F. Local Chapters are there to support OSM in local communities. This could include things like talking with local organizations about data imports, supporting local initiatives (like Mappa-Mercia, or the London summer mapping marathon), running local conferences and events and generally supporting the local OSM community. The OSM-F would be focussed on more pan-OSM issues, like the ones explained above. So far as the structure goes, I had thought that one GB org could work, if it had a series of user groups associated with it. The GB Chapter could handle GB issues, raising funds to help support national and user group activities, perhaps running a GB website, lobbying the UK government to release data (!), and generally promoting OSM throughout the GB area. The user groups would be focussed on a more local area (eg Greater London) and would be affiliated (loosely or more closely) to the GB Chapater.

[Talk-GB] Wales mapping action
Hello, Its only a few days until the eagerly anticipated Welsh mapping weekend. I don't know about you guys, but my preparations are well underway - pumping bike tyres, charging batteries... I have a few ideas / questions: * Where exactly is the cottage? Is there an address / postcode? * BBQ - how about a BBQ on the Sat evening or Sun afternoon? It may rain, but thanks to the awesomeness of cheap mass manufacturing, Argos sell gazeebos for £9.99, which make a great BBQ shelter. Its more fun than cooking indoors and I bet there are some great butchers in the area. * Mapping planning - I've updated the wiki page to include a mapping planning section to organise areas to map, preferred mapping regions * Lifts - I can still give a lift from central London on the Friday evening, returning Sunday evening. Looking forward to a great weekend. -- Nick Black http://www.blacksworld.net ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

I agree with the outcome, but not the reasoning. I think its a mistake to justify tagging by the outcome of rendering. The introduction of Mapnik and the proliferation of the Osmarender have done a lot to encourage standards within tagging - but we need to look beyond rendering. If I want to select all of the ways that belong to the london underground system, its not particularly straightforward. >From this point of view, the values of k=v are not significant - its the real-world representation of the objects they represent that matters. > > Robert (Jamie) Munro > -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFG8aCHz+aYVHdncI0RArUkAKDV8/Jd/GJ3JROeENwHQQsEk5UmygCgsEP9 > onw2QTMn1y87QbUq8aTrKns= > =af84 > -END PGP SIGNATURE- > -- Nick Black http://www.blacksworld.net ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-gb

There seems to be no agreed way to tag the London Underground, resulting in: http://openstreetmap.org/api/0.4/way/4008385 & http://openstreetmap.org/api/0.4/way/4008533 If I change all occurrences of tube= to line= , is this going to ruin anyone's day?

There are a lot of areas that have segment, but no ways. I have been going through many of them and turning them into ways so that they show up on the map. However I have not been naming them. It would be a good thing to get them named, and this would be able to be done by those who don't have GPSs. The areas that I know of that need wayified, names added or more work to tidy them up are primarily: http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html? lat=55.924773895703304&lon=-3.2984263206919593&zoom=16 http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html? lat=55.933116488584076&lon=-3.307052303015519&zoom=15 http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html? lat=55.95445765446907&lon=-3.301902462822349&zoom=14 http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html? lat=55.96082408005075&lon=-3.2016093250603617&zoom=15 http://www.informationfreeway.org/? lat=55.981773200814416&lon=-3.2022135474480926&zoom=14&layers=B000T00 Search for name FIXME and use the maplint layer on the informationfreeway are my recommendations for finding some areas that need some TLC.

Hey,
I checked with Joshua and he seemed to think that this would be okay.
If it's not, really sorry.
I'm just here to let people know about the BBC/Yahoo Hack Day event
that's happening in London's Alexandra Palace on the 16th and 17th of
June. It's focused on five hundred people building and making things
for a couple of days, with the organisations having some talks on
APIs and services on the Saturday morning and a band on the Sunday.
There are a bunch of geo people coming along including people from
Open Street Map and a bunch of the Flickr crew including Dan Catt
from geobloggers, Cal Henderson and Aaron Straupe Cope. Should be
quite good fun.
Anyway, if anyone's got any questions about the event, ask on-list or
e-mail me at tom {at} plasticbag {dot} org.
That's all
Tom
