Any WMS can be used as a background in JOSM, but it doesn't give an assurance that it's OK for OSM. Anyone can use josm in other mapping projects outside osm. I sometimes use it for other mapping needs because of the really cool editing functions. On Sun, Feb 28, 2010 at 3:23 PM, Eugene Alvin Vi

That's really nice, Eugene! But we need to do something with those URLs... I doubt many people will stand in front of the poster writing them down. Something like www.openstreetmap.org.ph/marikina would be better, then we can link to other things like those hideous facebook urls from there. Ro

I agree with the small details on the posters. Also agree with Ronny on the URLs, it isnt a webpage. We could use OSMPH domain but even that is long, how bout something like bit.ly/MarikinaMappingParty or something very easy to remember. and I suggest 1 link only. Maybe to the wiki page or the F

I suggest using bit.ly and a custom name since #1 its a LOT shorter :) #2 its probably the most popular redirector #3 we can use that URL only for posters and can track through bit.ly how effective the medium was in getting us new people. ___ talk-ph ma

One problem we'll have is where in SM City Marikina do we plan to hold the editing sessions. I think we may need to get a reservation somewhere and where there are power outlets for the laptops. On Sun, Feb 28, 2010 at 8:31 PM, maning sambale wrote: > > In regards to the event, where would we be

We need to decide to which page it will direct. The OSM Wiki is flexible but has too many links on the page (related to the wiki infrastructure). Facebook is simpler, but we cannot cram stuff in there (which means that we need to link to another page). On Sun, Feb 28, 2010 at 9:39 PM, Andre Marce

Personally, I don't think so. The hotel is not represented any different from the other hotels on the island. If they had set the name to "Boracay Residences - rooms from P500", then yes, bus as it stands, it seems perfectly fine to me. I've personally added shops I like to the map, both to im

I guess Ian thinks it's spam because a user account adding stuff related to the username is spammy in Wikipedia. But OSM operates in a different manner so I agree that it isn't spam. 2010/2/28 Ronny Ager-Wick - Develo Ltd. > Personally, I don't think so. The hotel is not represented any differ

I actually think that's pretty cool that a resort would go out of its way to add itself to OSM. Tells you that they acknowledge OSM and deem it important to add themselves to the map. ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.open
