Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Post-Christmas Midlands OSM Meet-up

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi all,

I've finally found some time to catch up with this thread. :-)

* Mapping event Sat 3rd Jan - yes I'll be there, and will map some
footpaths.
* Lifts - yes If you want a lift from the Warwick/Coventry area (or a train
station that my route will take me past) then let me know.
* I've also added some more details to
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nottingham/Mapping_Meetup

See you soon,
Rob

p.s. If you're planning to come please let us know :-)

Depending on the number of people we can probably split into 2 or 3 groups
afterwards (and then catch up again in the pub).

Also if anyone wants to do some mapping from home before we head out
there's quite a bit to be done aligning roads, mapping landuse and/or
tracing buildings.

I have traced the buildings in Hanbury.

Well if nothing else we can talk about whether landuse=cemetery is an 
appropriate tag for the crater!

Obviously we can potentially knock more of these on the head if we split-up, 
but then we can't map & chat. One benefit of mappers from different places is 
the chance to share perspectives on how, what etc. one maps.

Sounds good. It will be interesting to see this crater near the pub. Depending 
on the number of people we can probably split into 2 or 3 groups afterwards 
(and then catch up again in the pub).

Also if anyone wants to do some mapping from home before we head out there's 
quite a bit to be done aligning roads, mapping landuse and/or tracing buildings.

PS. There is also a good opportunity to clarify if mapped paths which dont have 
the designation tag are rights of way. I'll try and produce a file of nodes 
where PRoWs end up on roads, for checking.
