The next social meeting will take place in Tamworth (venue and cake TBA) on Thurs 2 September.

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] City centre buildings
I think Delete it and replace it with the building shape would be the right answer. Please, though, copy any appropriate tags from the POI to the new shape before deleting the POI; I've had perfectly good information go missing this way. Hope to see you soon. -- Peter Millar - Original Message - From: Rob Annable r...@annable.co.uk To: Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org Sent: Tuesday, 26 January, 2010 15:11:59 GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] City centre buildings Hello all, I've been trying to do my best to pull my weight again and get some editing done. I finally started to add some of the info to the streets around the Queens Arms from the street address mapping we did at one of the meets several months ago. What should I do with buildings that have previously just been noted with a POI icon? Delete it and replace it with the building shape? Hoping to catch up with you all again soon. I've not been able to make a Thursday meet up for ages and I think I at least owe the folks who helped me with the Stoke mapping party a drink or two, so I'll try and come along soon.

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Sandwell MBC
Hi, Sounds good. I've put myself down to do slices 44 and 45 on Saturday 21st; weather forecast looks horrible esp. the wind. -- Peter Millar - Original Message - From: Brian Prangle bpran...@googlemail.com To: Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org Sent: Wednesday, 18 November, 2009 10:48:52 GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Sandwell MBC Hi everyone I've persuaded a local software development company to ditch Google Maps and switch to OSM, in return for which their Chairman has promised to complete our fund-raising for sateliite imagery from various sources with whom he is in contact. But we have a challenge - he has phase 1 of a West Midlands wide project to deliver by mid-December to Sandwell MBC so it would be great if we could fill in most of the blanks within Sandwell MBC boundaries by then. His project particularly needs to have business- orientated landuse completed. This guy is very influential and will be a good friend to have who will promote OSM well. So let's see how far we can get with completing Sandwell!

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Lug Radio Live - How about a mapping party??
I can do a mapping party that weekend. -- Peter Millar (sherbourne) - Original Message - From: Andy Robinson (blackadder-lists) ajrli...@googlemail.com To: talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org Sent: Monday, 21 September, 2009 18:26:28 GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Lug Radio Live - How about a mapping party?? Lug radio Live is fast approaching, running on Sat 24th October. This would seem a logical date to do a mapping party. While the lug folks listen to lug stuff we can feed out and map, returning to spread the word at lunchtime etc. I'm due to talk about OSM at 15:00, not clear yet if they will have a proper exhibition but I'm sure we can ad hoc something as required. Who's available that weekend? Wolverhampton has much unloved area still to map.

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] mtbgreat britain.7z
Adrian, I downloaded and unzipped mtbgreat_britain.7z.zip to both Ubuntu and XP without a problem, unpacks 54 files. Unbuntu used its default archive manager, File Roller, and I used 7-zip on XP. The file has both .7z.zip in the filename, could it be that you are missing one of them? - Original Message - From: flightstar...@gmail.com To: talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org Sent: Wednesday, 24 June, 2009 08:00:33 GMT +00:00 GMT Britain, Ireland, Portugal Subject: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] mtbgreat britain.7z Hi I tried to open the zip file of the mtbgreat britain.7z from http://openmtbmap.x-nation.de/maps/ and it says insert last disc of multi volume set.
