A third update on the quarterly project. 0. The what project? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Quarterly_Projects
1. Open Data Manchester Following a tweet Open Data Manchester have asked whether anyone can go and show them how to map. Looks like their next meeting is Monday February 1st, 6.30 – 8.30pm. Any volunteers? 2. Edits continue at pace. For those adding #OSMSchools to their changeset comments (sorry no way to go back and add it if you forget) we reached a high of 258 changesets on 18th Jan. The map is starting to look well covered (although some gaps missingso please continue to use this in your changesets). See http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-changesets?comment=OSMschool#6/53.495/-3.549 3. 175 people have done 5351 edits Amazing numbers measured by Harry's tracker. Looks like Uganda has joined the project too. It would be great if someone could turn the CSV linked data at the bottom of the tracker into a daily chart. See http://harrywood.dev.openstreetmap.org/diffreader/schools/ 4. HS and ZE are 100% complete! Wow! The HS (Outer Hebrides) and ZE (Lerwick) postcodes are complete. Thanks go to OpenStreetMapper seumas. Many other postcodes (with more schools within them ;-) ) are close to this now too http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/schools/progress/ 5. Nodes converted to ways Following lot's of data clean up we are nearing 80% of schools mapped as land areas rather than simple points. We should hit this in the next couple of days. 6. Northern Ireland still needs some work If you map in Northern Ireland and want to get involved please do. Each extra school mapped there will help lift it off the bottom of the tracker. We can also look at doing some initiatives in NI if the local community want this. Let us know :-) 7. Blogs and video Please keep up the blogging and tweeting. It would be great if we could attract some new mappers (a how to map schools video would be great if you have time to do this). If you don't run a blog then I can let you post to http://mappa-mercia.org Happy mapping *Rob*
