I'd be very interested, though I'm all the way over in Virginia. A webinar or at least providing a summary and your presentations online would be valuable.

Re: [Talk-us] Portland, Oregon & surrounding areas - OSM mappers
Sounds like a great idea. I won't be joining, but I wonder if there's more initiatives like this one in the US?

Re: [Talk-us] Portland, Oregon & surrounding areas - OSM mappers
I'm told by my employer that Trimet is the first transit agency in the United States to choose OpenStreetMap as a data source, and invest in updating the area's data. Does anyone else know of others? -- PJ Houser Trimet GIS intern, 503-962-5711 (office) On Sat, Apr 30, 2011 at 4:58 AM, Martijn van Exel wrote: > Sounds like a great idea.

Re: [Talk-us] Portland, Oregon & surrounding areas - OSM mappers
I am working on updating the wiki for our data sources (RLIS and CCGIS - search wiki for each of those acronyms). Perhaps I can make a page with a summary from the meet & greet. -- PJ Houser Trimet GIS intern, 503-962-5711 (office) On Fri, Apr 29, 2011 at 5:06 PM, Josh Doe wrote: > I'd be very interested, though I'm all the way over in Virginia.

This is a very interesting project. I recently began mapping and entering the local bus routes (which even Google doesn't have, courtesy of our local "closed data" policies). I realized that my work is still useless to the general community because the OSM doesn't have a way to enter the schedule, and public transport schedules appear to be unwanted data. Where is the OpenTripPlanner's schedule data stored? Is there any way to get an early copy of OpenTripPlanner to work with it?

I tried to get stuff like this started with INCOG/Tulsa Transit/(City/County of Tulsa), but bureaucratic inertia and endless loops of fingerpointing more or less ensured I was no closer to getting something like this started there than I am now. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
