I'd just want to inform everyone that the Data Working Group (DWG) has finally imposed a long-term block on all the accounts (including new ones that attempted to circumvent the block) that published the personal information on OpenStreetMap. Previous blocks were put in place to catch the mappers' attention, and attempt to reach out to them.
The DWG decision to block the accounts has to do with the contributors willfully ignoring the attempts to communicate with them, not following the OSMF guidelines on documenting organized editing projects, and, more importantly, for attempting to continue to publish private data. Some of us have made attempts to find the directors of the project to help them solve their mapping challenge through local contacts with organizations working in the community, and though we thought we found some, they were actually dead ends. Belatedly, one of the blocked accounts, responded to one of the direct messages sent to them, but only to plead that their edits not to be deleted, and without any further information about themselves or their project. It's really unfortunate to see all their efforts wasted but this should serve as a reminder for all other sizable editing projects to take the time to get in touch with the local community, to seek their inputs, before proceeding with any project. And, please take note of the the adopted OSM Foundation guidelines on organized editing [0], which can help the rest of the community understand what your intentions are, and determine the persons responsible for the project, and who we can contact, if any issue comes up. I'm closing the Papercut-Fix ticket[1] now, but will revisit this from time to time. There appears to be no more edits happening in the AOI, and we have not received any new messages from the group of mappers we've identified with the effort. /erwina [0]: https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/w/images/6/62/Organised_Editing_Guidelines.pdf [1]: https://github.com/OSMPH/papercut_fix/issues/49 On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 9:25 PM maning sambale <emmanuel.samb...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Over the last couple of days we noticed several mappers in Lupang > Arenda Taytay/Cainta are adding names of residents on buildings. > We have been reviewing and fixing a lot of theses edits [0].
