Mapping
- François Lacombe published a presentation on the topic, “Mapping of energy distribution networks”.
- User Jothirnadh explains how to edit a road segment while preserving route relations. His diary entry provides plenty of details and clear screenshots for each step.
- Michał Brzozowski posts some statistics about MAPS.ME edits. He remarks how power users fix many editing mistakes, but devote too much time and resources that could be otherwise applied on OSM improvements. Roland Obricht expresses appreciation for MAPS.ME edits.
- Yuri Astrakhan aka nyurik released a video on the topic “OSM+Wikidata”. More information on the wiki.
- Tijmen Stam suggests to introduce a tag
man_made=tunnelequivalent to the widely-usedman_made=bridge. Responses are positive and include suggested use-cases. - In Talk-ES user dcapillae mentions (automatic translation) a conflict happening in Galicia, North-West of Spain when someone decided to “close” a note. This practice is discouraged by many.
- Vincent Privat has summarized the suggestions from the SotM-FR concerning “indoor mapping” in a ticket.
Community
- The OSGeo-Live team is looking (automatic translation) for a maintainer of JOSM and Mapnik, in order to keep them as part of the Live-DVD. Astrid Emde provides detailed information on tasks and expected workload.
Additional help is needed to compile new documentation based on LearnOSM material. You’re welcome to contribute, ideally before July 3rd. - Creator13 collected a set of weird errors in French land registry. Despite these mismatches, he is glad that the dataset’s import saved a great amount of manual editing.
- GOwin compares OSM and Google Maps “glitches” in four areas of the world. He identifies OSM’s strength in community involvement versus centralised map management and cites Kibera project as a great example of map maintenance done by local people.
- PlacesForBikes used OSM data to compare bike networks in 299 cities across the U.S. The analysis aims to identify whether bikers can travel on low-stress segments of the bike network, and unveiled interesting findings.
- Members of the Russian community (automatic translation) travelled to Tula in order to map together.
- People for Bikes’, “Bike Network Analysis” gave Chicago a low score, but this is strongly related to the model and assumptions underlying the analysis itself. Both the data and the analysis are open: geodata comes from OSM and U.S. Census, while the analysis’ source code is available online.
- Edward Betts presents a tool to add Wikidata tags to OSM elements, and provides a summary of its functionality and usage.
- Bryan Housel is looking for translators for the iD editor.
