Re: [HOT] Moving the focus to JOSM in mapathons

Yep, that's what we've also been doing for years in DRC. The only issue is that there's always at least one or few participants without updated antivirus software and we always end up with at least one infected USB stick. The way around was using a rewritable CD... and an external CD/DVD reader,

Re: [HOT] Moving the focus to JOSM in mapathons

If you add a josm.cmd, you can start JOSM passing it some parameters. Normally you would point to a folder on the USB stick, but you can have it point to the C: drive as well. I use the following (you need gnu-tools for wget.exe to work on Windows. And you will need to change the paths to

Re: [HOT] Moving the focus to JOSM in mapathons

Which browser did you use? The browser works fine, JOSM works fine it just when you select the tile in the browser it doesn't get passed through to JOSM. Cheerio John On 14 May 2016 at 16:10, Jo wrote: > Hi John, > > I did create such sticks several months ago and I didn't

Re: [HOT] Moving the focus to JOSM in mapathons

Hey Polyglot, people sign up for the London mapathons via eventbrite, so we emailed all the JOSM newbies beforehand to ask them install JOSM before they came. Next month, we can try including the twitch links in the email... Ta! Pete On 14 May 2016 17:54, "Jo" wrote: > Hi,

Hi John, I did create such sticks several months ago and I didn't have that issue. It must be network/firewall related. Jo 2016-05-14 21:28 GMT+02:00 john whelan : > I picked up PortableApps from the link and installed it with portable > Firefox and Jportable. JOSM runs

Re: [HOT] Moving the focus to JOSM in mapathons

I picked up PortableApps from the link and installed it with portable Firefox and Jportable. JOSM runs fine but the link from the HOT tiles gives "JOSM remote control did not respond. Do you have JOSM running and configured to be controlled remotely?" I think until we get that resolved the Linux

Re: [HOT] Moving the focus to JOSM in mapathons

Portable apps appears to be hosted on Sourceforge which has changed hands recently and no most packages come with adware that installs on you computer as part of the package. Also I was never able to get it to pass through the link from the tile in browser to JOSM. Normally I prefer windows but

There was a post on HOT some time ago where someone had done this as part of a maperthon somewhere in Africa or Asia but I can't recall the details. Cheerio John On 14 May 2016 11:43 am, "Blake Girardot" wrote: > What about the USB sticks? Those should be on hand so you can

Re: [HOT] Moving the focus to JOSM in mapathons

What about the USB sticks? Those should be on hand so you can boot anyone into a Linux environment with the right java and latest josm if they were curious about josm but did not come expecting to try it or something? i had no luck booting my laptop into linux to use linux software, but I hear it

Re: [HOT] Moving the focus to JOSM in mapathons

I think if we suggest they download Java before arriving, josm-tested.jar can be copied for a USB stick or local server ie laptop. I think that would save bandwidth and trying to download multiple copies at the same time would mean delays. Hopefully it works out. Thanks John On 14 May 2016 at

[HOT] Moving the focus to JOSM in mapathons

Hi all, over the past few weeks, some of the validation chat has focused on tools (iD / JOSM, generally). We made a decision at this month's London Missing Maps mapathon to try and put more of a focus on using JOSM, rather than iD. We're not sure how it went yet, but will continue to try and
