Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Gnerating visualisations from a set of OSM XML files.
Hi Peter, I noticed a bit of activity around Maynooth :) In the past, I've asked Derrick Rethans to make time lapse videos for various projects 2 for Lesotho https://vimeo.com/102661438 https://vimeo.com/102170834 And 1 for Galway https://vimeo.com/62612875 You usually just need to supply him with a bounding box and the dates from/to It's better if you contact him ahead of the start date but I think he can work back. You should be able to get a hold of him through twitter @derickr There are other ways of doing it yourself, but I'm afraid I can't help there.

[OSM-talk-ie] Changesets by WernerP
Today I noticed a user uploading a number of changesets to my "watched area". On first glance they appear to be adding lots of new features like buildings etc, but on deeper inspection they are doing some very strange things in each of the changeset, which I don't agree with. 1) In changeset 46517951 the user has removed tags from a way making up a townland relation, only to create a totally new way for a stream. ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/ #map=19/54.35902/-7.63934[1] ) as the boundary is the actual stream I can't understand why the user has made this change. 2) In changeset 46520040 the user has decided that source=Bing is wrong and changes it to source=bing for a random number of objects. Since JOSM automatically adds this tag when bing imagery is used, why has the user decided to change this for this relatively small number of objects around Enniskillen. Surely if this is a problem, it needs to be discussed on the mailing list in advance of such a changeset! 3) In changeset 46523754 the user has decided to create new ways for rivers and streams and to name them after the boundary they make up. ie https://www.openstreetmap.org/ way/369383412 Having both PM'ed the user and added changeset comments which have went unanswered, I emailed the data working group to place a temporary block on the account. I notice there are other changesets throughout Ireland, so would other contributors in those areas please check the changesets.
