[talk-ph] Historical OSM

2023-11-01 Thread Jim Morgan
Hi, I was just curious to look at the OSM map for Manila from 2007 when I started mapping. Is there a way to display this? Some sort of OSM time-machine? I looked around but didn't find anything useful, except for someone suggesting to take a planet dump from that time, and render it in my

West Midlands Fire Service announced a new "Risk Explorer" web service [1] today; it is clearly based on OSM map data, but I can see no attribution, I have pointed this requirement out to them on Twitter [2] and await their response. The site was built by a company called "Shoothill" [3]. [1]

My two cents. Our forum and Discord require "accounts" to be registered at the OSM level (via OAuth2 by registering for a volunteer Contributor account to OSM) and at "the Discord level," something else again. A mailing list "merely" requires an email address as an "account" to be registered

Due to the structure of OSM, we don't have a single "Liaison Officer", so it's best if they join the list here and join the community discussion. I'm happy to engage directly with them if they prefer a single point of contact, but I'd need to stress that no single person is an authority within OSM

In the context of the tracks, there is always the risk that if you delete something that you don't think should be there, that someone else re-maps it because they see it in the aerial photo. (As we discussed.) I guess the best is that we could detail a preferred approach (e.g. in Australian

DWG have received a "*Request for a Liaison Officer*: To enhance the accuracy of OpenStreetMap data pertaining to the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service" This has come up in regard to tracks that they say they have previously requested be deleted (I'm contacting them to confirm just which?)

Hi Folks, Personally I think its best if they do become editors as well as mailing/forum/discord participants. It's the best way to learn the ecosystem and I have no doubt that their data group will have some GIS knowledge etc so it wont be too onerous on them to participate. The difficulty is

Thanks everybody for your thoughts. As per Steve's comment, here is probably the easiest contact point due to not needing an account, but we'll see what other suggestions are made? I was wondering if a general OSM-AU / OSM-Oceania e-mail address, probably as part of OSGeo, would help with this

Lots of the detail is there already https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Cycling_and_Foot_Paths Never know, they might even get to like mapping and start adding lots more detail like “operator” to existing tacks and notes to those under rehabilitation
