[Talk-gb-westmidlands] New OSMers
Hi all, Not sure if anyone has seen this before but it's an RSS feed of new users 75km around Birmingham. I thought it would be good to monitor it and when someone new does an edit we could pounce on them and invite them to the next MappaMercia meet? http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/newestosmfeed.php?lon=-1.88082lat=52.48192deg=0.75 Custom ones can be created at http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/newestosmcreatefeed Jonathan -- http://bigfatfrog67.me ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] New OSMers
Hi Jonathan. We've tried this before (and I keep an eye on various feeds for the west mids to limit vandalism etc). However experience suggests that making contact might put as many off meeting up as it does encourage them. I don't think we have an answer to this problem, perhaps the simplest solution is to have a short email with the relevant information links that goes out to anyone new that makes an edit. If its seen as a one off email from the system (rather than from an individual) it might be better received than a pounce type email that hasn't worked very well to date. Other suggestions welcome.

[Talk-GB] New OSM Leaflets now available
Hi all, I've sat down and created an updated version of the OpenStreetMap Promotional Leaflets that many of you will have seen at some point or another. They now have the correct licence and logo, for a start, (the old ones date to 2010) but have also been thoroughly updated based on both the old English text and the updated German versions. I've also created new maps from recent data and fresh stylesheets, this time of Edinburgh and London, and it even features our new signup character to tie into the website redesign. I'll be doing the same as before, i.e. distributing them in person at meetups and conferences to anyone who would like some to re-distribute further. You can also order them through the OpenCycleMap shop - this time there's a small charge for postage, since I'm now covering all the printing, shipping, postage (and time) costs out of my own pocket. http://shop.opencyclemap.org/products/openstreetmap-promotional-leaflets I'll be bringing them along to the next pub meetup in London - give me a shout if you would like large numbers of leaflets, I once again have thousands of them!

An order will be with you today. -- Cheers, Chris user: chillly ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
