Re: [Talk-us] Redacting 75, 000 street names contributed by user chdr

[Ian McEwen]

AZ has none because of https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/51502902
rather than an actual absence of things to fix from this (that changeset
essentially pre-redacted the names, so they no longor appear in
Frederick's list of redactions). I've fixed those I could find in the
Tucson & Pima County areas, but there's still lots to be gone over in
AZ.

Just mentioning this so if anyone's doing anything like tasking manager
work, they'll know they need to special-case AZ.

Re: [Talk-us] Best way to contacting users who are taking a class, but are possibly damaging data at same time?

[Ian McEwen]

I'm equally inexperienced in the contact department, so take what I say with 
that gain of salt. 

This appears to be a class at California University of Pennsylvania (calu.edu), 
and the last of the users you link appears to be Dr. [Tom] Mueller himself.

Perhaps someone with some degree of officialness can contact the professor 
directly (via institutional email, I'd guess) to start the conversation in a 
good-faith fashion.

[Talk-us] Data sources for National Monument boundaries?

[Ian McEwen]

Hello; I'm hoping to map the proper boundaries of several of the newer
National Monuments near me (Clinton made a bunch of them in AZ in his
last months in office -- Ironwood Forest, Agua Fria, Vermillion Cliffs,
Grand Canyon-Parashant, and Sonoran Desert National Monuments at least),
but I'm struggling to find a data source I can use; some exist as
points, but I'd prefer to expand them to proper boundaries, and clearly
older and more established parks and monuments have mapped boundaries,
presumably from some source.

Does anyone know where this data is available/usable for OSM purposes?

Re: [Talk-us] Rand McNally is using OSM

[Ian McEwen]

The attribution I can find is on
http://www.randmcnally.com/legal/doc/tripmaker-attribution, which is
linked from the Help popup from the TripMaker site. For OSM it links
to https://www.mapbox.com/about/maps/ which seems to have more specific
data about OSM licensing.

 Haven't found the attribution yet, but Hans is right. In my county, I can

 perhaps someone smarter than i am can point out where the
 attribution for OSM contributors is on the Rand McNally site.

Re: [Talk-us] 'Michigan' lefts in Arizona

 Hey all,

 I was looking for more info on Michigan lefts (in particular, how many
 are there?) and google offered up this gem here:
 http://www.tucsonweekly.com/TheRange/archives/2013/08/29/theres-a-jingle-for-the-forthcoming-michigan-lefts-so-its-all-going-to-be-ok-now
 So apparently these are not confined to Michigan. Anyone from the
 Tuscon area mapping these or planning to? Are there any other
 non-Michigan Michigan lefts?


Bit late to this, but I drove by one of the two intersections in Tucson
they mention the other day and it's finished with construction and been
changed to the indirect left (Grant and Oracle -- the indirect left is
from Grant onto Oracle, either direction). I haven't been as far north
as the other intersection, Oracle and Ina, to know.

I'm confident that OSM isn't updated with this info, however, and I've
no clear ideas about mapping. Just wanted to update on this for the
curious.

 Best,
 Martijn

[Talk-us] Public Labs/balloon mapping?

[Ian McEwen]

Hi; I've been recently looking around http://publiclab.org/, especially
at their tools for doing ground-tethered balloon and kite mapping
(http://publiclab.org/wiki/balloon-mapping). The bulk of the prose on
the site seems to be activism-oriented -- documenting the BP oil spill,
Occupy encampments, etc. As you might guess I'm more interested in the
potential to use this for OSM, but stories of others doing that seem to
be sparse.

Has anyone here used balloon mapping or these tools (or similar ones)
who can share experience, pitfalls, etc.?
