[OSM-talk-ie] Local chapter application by OpenStreetMap United Kingdom
The OSMF has received an application from OpenStreetMap United Kingdom (OSM UK) for their organization to become the OSMF local chapter for the United Kingdom (including the Isle of Man and Channel Islands). This includes Northern Ireland but not the Republic of Ireland. For consultation and as part of due diligence we are asking the UK community for comments on the application. Because there is not just one mailing list for the region, this is being sent to talk-gb@, talk-scotland@, and talk-ie@. If you are aware of other communication channels the UK local community uses, please let them or me know. If you wish to raise concerns about the application privately, you can do so by emailing me. Details of the application can be found at http://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters/Applications/United_Kingdom and the standard template agreement that would be signed is at http://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters/Template_agreement.

Re: [OSM-talk-ie] Tagging the Ireland/Northern Ireland border
Using a phone, sorry for the short answer to a detailed mail. Puting boundary-related tags on the ways is redundant (duplicates the relation tags), risks getting out of sync with the relation, handles ways belonging to multiple boundaries (always the case for countey borders) badly, and can be confusing (josm boundary rendering of the way can mask other renderings). I often remove such tags from ways if I'm editing the ways. AFAIK we've got all of Ireland boundaries (over 60k of them) mapped as relations. I'd be surprised if this wasn't the case worldwide, do you have counter-examples ? I suggest that you forget that mapping boundaries purely as ways is a thing, and that if do any data fixing, it's to add missing relations rather than tagging theirs ways. -- Vdp Sent from a phone. ___ Talk-ie mailing list Talk-ie@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ie
