Re: [talk-ph] welcome new osm-ph list subscribers
Hello everybody, and thanks for the welcome... For those who don't know me yet, (I guess all, except maybe Maning with who I already exchanged some mails) I'm a Dutch guy, living in Cebu city since several years now, and enjoying it much here. I recently discovered openstreetmaps, and found it worth contributing to. Next week I'll go back to Holland for my yearly holiday, so my mapping in Cebu City will pause for a while. When I'm back, I'd need some clarifications, or guidelines, on how to classify the roads here in Cebu. I have difficulties in relating the guidelines about the tags to the reality. Right now, there is primary roads, and residential roads mainly. I don't know how to improve this, since some main large roads (like A.S. Fortuna) don't even have a dividing line (this means it is 1 lane only ?) but the trafic is driving on 4 lanes (2 each side)... The Cebu North road, really gets narrow at some sections when going south, and would not be considered a main road abroad in those sections... The South (SRP) road is now mapped as a single motorway. It should be 2 one way roads... 3 lanes each if I remember well. But can it be a motorway road ? It is the closest to a motorway I ever saw here in Cebu, but I'm not sure there is a hard shoulder, there are many intersections and traffic lights, often tricycles also ride there... I guess a trunk road would be more appropriate. Any suggestions how to deal with all this ? Happy mapping!

Re: [talk-ph] OpenStreetMap Philippines Community Survey
Hello again, Since I'm writing now, I can as well give my opinion about the "The formation of a formal legal entity to represent OpenStreetMap in the Philippines" : YES, its good to have a legal entity to give OpenStreetMap in the Philippines some more visibility, structure and power... BUT I had a bad experience with a group of friends, astronomy fans, that also wanted to organize their nightly meetings. As time went by, the club became bigger and bigger, and the members ended up spending more time in administrative meetings and fights for power, than in watching the sky... So, NO, I probably will not join... Always remember, Keep it fun!
