Excellent post Emir, I can't say if it will help until tonight (21:00 GMT
is when we meet with them) but I will be sure to pass this along.
Thanks very much. This is exactly the kind of support we were hoping to
see with this kind of daily meeting schedule.

Earlier today there was a 6.1 magnitude earthquake in Indonesia the
epicenter is the link below.

Although 6.1 is reasonably powerful, Indonesia experiences many earthquakes
and so the damage from this one is somewhat moderate.

Oh, I forgot that the tasking manager was being used in this import. Since
that allows us to track the progress of the import and easily keep track of
what is not yet imported then I withdraw my previous objection to a partial
import. My concern was mainly that we would lose some of the data
Russell,
Sorry to hear this news. For those who didn't click through to the BBC
article, 19 firefighters from a specially trained team were killed by a
fire in Arizona making it one of the most deadly firefighting accidents in
US history. This is definitely not the news we wanted to see from
Well, done is basically already for review since we have a second level
of 'validated' which is supposed to weed out these erroneous tiles and
revert them back to 'unmarked' if they do not meet the standards. We
should try to work on ways of encouraging more validation work as for many
tasks,
In answer to your question on imports, I think the general consensus is
that tracing from bing and then copying attributes from this dataset would
not be considered an import, it is merely a second source of data used in
manual mapping.
One other thing to consider is the 'utilsplugin2' which has
To elaborate on this idea further, the idea of liaisons is to be a person
(or group of people) who will be a permanent link between OSM/HOT and a
specific NGO. The purpose of the liaison group is to meet regularly with
their NGO contacts and discuss problems/feedback for the relationship with

Severin,
The nodes are re-used by the 'replace geometry' tool. So what it does is
when you select the two ways and run the tool it takes the old way and
tries to 'move' as many of the old nodes (with their ID numbers in the DB)
to the positions you chose for your new way, as well as copying over
Yeah a change of thread topic seems appropriate for the liaison
discussion. This was all going to be discussed in more detail over the
next couple days but now is fine too (it is still being worked out in
detail but the basic framework has been figured out).
The idea of the liaisons is similar
It is not an example of a use case per se, but last summer I spoke to
several of the GIS and similar departments in my city regarding OSM. Among
the people I spoke with was one from the city forestry department (which
looks after trees along roads) and one person from the parks department
(which
That is a very well written article. Thanks for sharing it. Not sure if
HOT has a 'media coverage' page, but if it does, this is one that should go
on there.

One additional thing you might use in differentiating paved vs unpaved is
doing something like putting a dotted line down the middle of paved roads
(like what they look like in reality), having kind of a grey patchy texture
overlaid on the unpaved roads, to make them look bumpy, and then omitting
There was some problems with the server hard drive filling up. Harry
cleaned out a few files but it didn't free up much space so it is
probably full again.

No, mapping one down the middle is all that should be done. When you
drive a car across the desert it breaks up the crusty surface layer
and the track is visible for years even if only one car drives that
exact route once. Therefore mapping more than one track does not make
sense. You are just
I am not sure what the situation in Syria is. In Mali I am currently
manually merging in the GNS place names file for the country which has
a name for almost all the populated settlements in the country. These
place names are not well located (usually within a few hundred meters
of the town but
The buildings to the south of Sake are beginning to look very good. I
have been doing some further building mapping around the central part
of Goma and that is coming along nicely.
I have found quite a few old US Army maps (and other assorted public
domain maps) of the area on the
Samuel,
Here is our wiki page detailing the garmin systems and how to convert our
map data to it. You can find links there to preformatted garmin map files
ready to load onto your device, or instructions on how to start with raw
OSM data and convert it to the format garmin uses. If you decide
Robert,
If the pictures have GPS coords in their exif data tags then uploading them
to a site like flickr will allow them to be shown on a map so that the HOT
team can use them to add further information to the map (maybe things you
hadn't thought of like building heights, building construction,
Aaron,
I started looking at OSM and bing imagery in the Moba area. Initially I
just cleaned up the roads, but I did a bit of looking around at the rest of
the town. Someone has imported all the school loctions in Moba as nodes,
and looking at the imagery for buildings which are not obvious
Hello Hot members,
There has been a major earthquake in northern Iran. USGS has two
earthquakes recorded, a magnitude 6.3 and a 6.4. Here are the links for
the relevant information.
