Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Lesotho Embassy is hosting a mapping event on Aug 13th

[Dave Corley]

Hi all,

Just a reminder about this event, this Saturday, from 10am to 4pm. There's
still 6 spaces left that I'd like to fill so if anyone else would like to
come along just let me know.

For those curious but not sure:
- You only need bring a laptop and mouse for mapping
- Its free
- Its informal
- Lunch will be provided
- Any level of mapping ability is welcome. Guidance will be given on the
day (many won't be familiar with features in African imagery)
- The event will be here - http://osm.org/go/es~R7ealk?m=

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Lack of attribution to OSM by ESRI on Carlow maps

[Dave Corley]

Hi Brian,

Out of curiosity I took a look at Galway County Council and got a nice
surprise at their maps homepage. They have several links and images to
various bits of data and they are using OSM as the main map in those
images.

http://galwaycoco.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html

However my jaw dropped when I saw the outer bypass map. they have the full
route, lanes, embankments roundabouts etc etc, all overlaid on the OSM map.
Looks great and I was dead chuffed seeing as I drew a large portion of what
they're using :)

Both Galway City & County councils are using the maps.arcgis.com solution
for their maps (its handy for them) but they do it slightly differently
between them. The City Council site is a carbon copy of your Carlow one

http://galwaycity.maps.arcgis.com/apps/PublicGallery/index.html?appid=3853b01e8241421999b9b933265ea4ec=fb38dabbbc074c99a251fc18e3f1b97c


I went through a few of maps and did some comparisons. They are basically
the same sites but on Galway City Council one, full attribution is given.
It may be something as simple as a setting they have turned off in error in
the Carlow one as I would assume its on by defult

[OSM-talk-ie] Lack of attribution to OSM by ESRI on Carlow maps

[Brian Hollinshead]

Prior to a visit to Carlow yesterday I perused the council web page for
maps, see link below:

http://carlow.maps.arcgis.com/apps/PublicGallery/index.html?appid=
463a5f06db5040e4863a8f2bc8f452fd=c94e864d25da4f4f8e7f5e68e3ebd47b

Of about 15 maps all powered by ESRI They have correctly attributed one to
OSI and one to OSM (CC-BY-SA). Most of the others appear to be by OSM but
although carrying the   Powered by ESRI logo they seem to have neglected to
attribute them to OSM.

I called to the Council and their IT people, who were properly upset, have
contacted the ESRI. Today they contacted me to advise no meaningful
response yet. They will keep in touch until the omissions are corrected.
They are considering withdrawing the unattributed maps until matters have
been put in order.

Perhaps you might prowl around YOUR local Council website in case perhaps
this is more widespread than just Carlow.

Is there someone somewhere in OSM that I should copy this to?
