[talk-au] Active Australian OSM contributors in light of CT/license changes

  But the problem is I've become disillusioned - the fun and community has
gone.

Matt,

Once the licence change is complete I think the community will slowly grow
back, both with some old timers and then with new mappers as well.

Till then we will continue to see the same old disrupters trying to destroy
OSM.


Cheers
Nick

Sorry for the way he is treating you Liz.
Liz is like the grandma of osm. She has been a tireless supporter, She spent
months helping in OSM kosovo and flossk. She dontated laptops, gps devices
and lots of love. I dont know if you follow that at all steve, but I am
shocked how you are speaking to her.

Steve, please be a little more respectful of your elders,

thanks,
mike

  big snip of trash

 I've known them for a lot longer than you have it seems, and as I
 mention they've been kicked, banned or moderated before.


 I have not been kicked, banned or moderated, not on any list in my life.


 Don't you ever say Hello?


  Am I missing out on something here? Why am I discriminated against?


 Are such questions on your mind often?




 I can confirm that other mappers have received emails telling them that
 their views are well known, and don't require repeating.
 Likewise I can confirm that All Blokes is not a pseudonym of John Smith.


 I see.



 And to return to the topic
 I'm hardly mapping anything now - since the big argument blew up I have
 little interest and decided to do some other things.


 Did you come to me because you are hardly mapping anything now - since the
 big argument blew up you have little interest and decided to do some other
 things?

  I personally cannot seem to be able to get any joy from fosm.org, at

 Me too. Previous efforts were more successful (no error messages), but
 I've never seen a map, just a blank grey box where a map probably goes.


 It has had some outages.


Two things:
1) fosm.org was unavailable for 12 hours today.  I think it went down just
as I stepped onto a plane, so I was unaware and unable to do anything about
it until back on terra firma.

2) It's clear that some people cannot access fosm.org even when it is up.  I
think this is because some browsers don't support xslt.  More information
would be helpful.  I will switch to server-side xslt if that is indeed the
cause.

3) (ok, three things), there is no map hosted as fosm.org at the moment,
there are people working on rendering (such as bigtincan) and I'm happy to
encourage such diversity as it makes the project stronger.  I'm trying to
keep the core of fosm small and tight.  I don't want to create features like
user dairies else I'd be accused of forking the community.  We all have the
same goals, some people just want to license them differently.




 The default layer on http://maps.bigtincan.com/ is rendering from fosm
 data.

So we would like a little code change and remove the 'map' link at the
top, with some text info to sharedmap.org and bigtincan
It will reduce some confusion.

OK, i tried fosm.org, it worked.
I clicked on the maps linkhttp://fosm.org/poly/tah.html#2.00/34.4/-5.9;
and got a totally blank page.

Latest Firefox (5)  running on latest stable Kubuntu.

  As Grant says, It smells. but since payment is by Pay-Bloody-Pal the
 risk is minimal.

 If anyone is still interested, I can confirm that it was not legit. EBay 
have removed the listing and notified the buyers.
