Hello - Happy New Year!
My apologies for cross-posting, and doing so in English, but I believe talk@is read less in non-English speaking countries. If there is anyone interested in mapping historical locations using the OSM stack, please join us for the Hangout listed below, or let me know if you have any questions. You can learn a little more about the project at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM-Historic Most importantly, we are looking for participation from around the world! Regards, Jeff http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/jeffmeyer ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jeff Meyer <j...@gwhat.org> Date: Wed, Jan 2, 2013 at 3:33 PM Subject: Historical OSM Hangout: 2013 01 09 To: OpenStreetMap Talk Mailing List <t...@openstreetmap.org>, histo...@openstreetmap.org Happy New Year! The next Historical OSM hangout will be held on 9 January 2013 at 9am Seattle time, 5pm London time. Apologies to those on the other side of the planet - we can shift the schedule on the next go-round. Link: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/415172b9c7e5b8e3777d35dd974bafbdf0763d4f Topics will include: - Progress on getting the HO sandbox up and running - hopefully, we'll have the HO rails port & a tile server of some sort running by then. -- hosm.gwhat.org (the rails port for HO) is temporarily down while I mess around with getting the baseline planet straightened out -- There's a crude outline of the steps for generating the baseline planet at: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Historical_Sandbox#Base_Planet_Setup(this needs to be cleaned up, for sure) - Suggestions from the community for initial historical mapping focus areas - if we can divide up the world into a variety of different projects - e.g. various locations at various points in time, with no overlapping areas, then we won't have to solve the issue of time-enabling tools out of the gate. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.
