 That sounds like the thinking of the parties in a real vote, 'if
 everyone who didnt vote, voted for us, we would have wiped the floor'
 Changing that 70% doesnt have any 'incident' but they can hardly be
 counted has casting their vote either way.  This means that if 30% are
 active users, 3.8% means just over 12% of people have voted.

The thing you're not understanding is that this isn't a vote.  It's an 
agreement to distribute your work under a new license.  That 70% *have* agreed 
to distribute their work under the new license.  It is entirely valid for the 
camp that wants to move to the ODbL sooner rather than later to count the 70% 
in their stats, because accepting the new license is all that matters, not some 
imaginary war between yes and no.

You're entirely right of course and frankly I have no idea what all this 
fuss is about. It's just a graph. It isn't even intended to influence 
anybody. This is documenting what happens, not trying to talk people 
into doing something.


Anyone who is looking for numbers of people agreeing/disagreeing since 
it became mandatory (not counting anybody before that) will find a 
snapshot here: fred.dev.openstreetmap.org (currently 88% vs 12%) - but 
of course these numbers are biased in favour of the naysayers since most 
people who wanted to agree have done so long ago, whereas every single 
person who wants to disagree is counted in the 12%.


One small plea: Could you refrain from saying the camp that wants to 
move to the ODbL. It sounds like it's a small bunch of people when 
indeed it is the overwhelming majority.

well that's just meadowdust.
The ODbL camp did not even get a majority of the OSMF members to vote
in favour of the method of changeover.
To make your majority you add in X thousand who joined late and didn't
get a vote, and subtract Y thousand who haven't yet made an edit.

The reason Australians are better at detecting this form of deceit, is
that Australia is the modern home of the gerrymander, and we are very
familiar with how politicians arrange things to stay in power.

Of course, those who can remember a bit further back, recall that

 To make your majority you add in X thousand who joined late and didn't

In addition to lacking skills of politeness it seems you cannot count
either. Since the artificially-fixed epoch of last Sunday - prior to
which over 10,000 users agreed to the change, explicitly, not
automatically - the stats of yes versus no decisions, excluding those
existing yeses, are, as I type this mail:

Yes: 708 (88%)
No: 95 (12%)

Fred describes this as an overwhelming majority. You disagree. based
on some hand-wavy logic and a suggestion of deceit involving new
signups when it is abundantly clear that such new signups do not form
part of the claim you hope to dispute.

Stick to the facts. Learn to add and subtract. Learn some basic human
courtesy. Stop the accusations of deceit when you are the one
presenting the false information.

Elizabeth, please show us just one tally that shows anything but a tiny 
fraction of mappers that have actually contributed data to the project 
opposing the change. And no, nothing that is going to happen is going to 
unearth 10'000s of mappers that share your views.


In a couple of weeks the short term available reservoir of mappers that 
haven't declined or accepted will be exhausted, giving us say a couple 
of thousands of additional agreers and a couple of hundred decliners.


-if- this was a vote, the opposing parties would have conceded defeat a 
long time ago.

The reason Australians are better at detecting this form of deceit, is
I strongly object to being lumped in together with a bunch of people 
that made a couple of really bad decisions and are trying to blackmail 
the OSM community in to giving in to them, instead of trying to fix the 
problems they created.

I have declined the CTs, but for me it is by no means a 'no' vote. I 
declined because that was the nearest thing to an 'Ask me later' option: 
I had read that declines can be reversed, but acceptances cannot. I 
didn't want to decline, precisely because it would look like I was 
answering 'no', but I had to because (as I've mentioned elsewhere) I was 
locked out of all OSM activity (making diary entries, commenting on 
someone else's diary entry, replying to a PM someone had sent me) until 
I chose one option or the other. IMO I should only have been locked out 
of activity that involved editing the map while I made up my mind, but 
that's not the way it was implemented.

That's correct. But I'm surprised about your interest in the matter, 
because of all the problems you see with the current license change, 
only very few would be different with a PD license. All Nearmap-derived 
imagery would have to be deleted, as would have anything released CC-BY 
from the Australian government. This is not what you want, so I assume 
you would oppose a PD move even more resolutely than you oppose the 
current change.


The reason why I decided to support CT+ODbL is that I'm pragmatic; it is 
certainly better than what we have, and it is achievable, whereas while 
I might personally like PD better, that is not achievable.

Re: [OSM-talk] License graph

2011-04-18 Thread David Murn
Ive noticed a few discrepancies with the graph..

How come on the 2-day graph, the scale for decline goes 10300 to 10800
while on 5-day graph the range is 10200 to 10800.  The accept scale is
0-100 on 2-day but 0-120 on 5-day.  The upshot is that the 'accepted'
value is 99.8% of the full range, while the 'declined' value is either
62% of the full range (or 75% in the case of 2-day graph).  This has the
affect of showing the accepted numbers looking higher, while infact,
visual inspection of the graph shows the graphs working the other way.

The top 2-day graph, shows the decline scale starting above the accept
line for about the first 24hrs of the graph, but in the bottom graph
indicates that the acceptance rate is much higher with a significant
diversion in the lines, even though the numbers being represented are
equal.

If you want to represent these important figures in statistics, can you
at least use a common scale to avoid distorting peoples views of the
figures?  Using deceptive graphing methods was a trick we were taught
back in school as a child.  It doesnt make your figures look any better,
it just makes those educated enough to pick your graphs faults, not
value any of it at all.

 If you want to represent these important figures in statistics, can you
 at least use a common scale to avoid distorting peoples views of the
 figures?  Using deceptive graphing methods was a trick we were taught
 back in school as a child.  It doesnt make your figures look any better,


 It makes them readable. If you used the same scale you won't see the
 handful of no-votes against the 1 yes-votes.

Yes, this is why I used a different axis for both values. Otherwise
the accept would be a straight line across the top and the decline
would be a straight line across the bottom of the graph. Not very
useful.

I am using zabbix to make the graphs. Like I said, it is targeted at
system monitoring, not statistical analysis. Hence, the scales change
based on the available data to maximize the viewability of the data.

If someone wants, I might be able to produce a data dump so you can
make your own graphs. Zabbix stores it as a timestamp and a value in a
mysql database.

 While I agree that there is a problem with the no votes disapearing if you 
 show the whole graph, it would be useful to show the same *range* on each 
 scale.

 I.e., as we are currently showing 10300 - 10900 on the yes scale, show 0 to 
 600 on the no scale.  This will give a much clearer indication of the trend.


no. Why? I will still be much less readable then it is now.

Because it will show the genuine trend – at the moment, a quick glance at the 
graph would suggest that the no vote is expanding at the same rate, and at 
the same level as the yes vote.  I agree that we can't clearly show that 
they're not at the same level, because it would involve scaling the no vote 
to 1 100th of the size of the yes vote, but we can clearly show that they're 
not expanding at the same rate.

If you want it to be a true representation of a vote, you need to look at
only older users, not new users with their ballots already filled in.

until today they were indeed growing at the same rate, while since a

This is just a simple graph. It is also important to see, how much
data the single accounts have uploaded for instance. Graphs never are

On the contrary – the entire purpose of a graph is to make data understandable 
quickly.

That doesn't mean that it should be a graph that deliberately doesn't clarify

 If you want it to be a true representation of a vote, you need to look at
 only older users, not new users with their ballots already filled in.

And to really get a true representation look at the amount of data these users 
represent. Etc... But use the correct graph and you can prove everything you 
want.

As a side question: how many users still need to either accept or decline?

A lot. If you look at the two files that I am using to pull data from,
you will see the users_agreed.txt file has a header in it explaining
that there are 286,582 users that signed up before the new CT was put
into place for new users last year. Just under 11,000 have voted. So
3.8% of those who can vote have voted.

I actually meant that the 2 graphs had different scales.  When youre
showing numbers upto 80, fair enough use a scale of 0-100, but dont use
0-100 on one and 0-120 on the other, and call it an even comparison.
Skewing graphs is a 5th-grade maths lesson.

I didn't see anybody call it an even comparison. The graphing tool use
is, as far as I know, choosing its own scale for each line more or
less as a consequence of its core purpose of graphing server stats.
Those are not comparison graphs, just two graphs that happen to sit on
the same axes. We have to do our own mental processing.

But even with different scales, the wedge shape that's opening up
between the lines tells us all we need to know. We could play with the
scale to see how quickly it's happening, but that's about all.

That sounds like the thinking of the parties in a real vote, 'if
everyone who didnt vote, voted for us, we would have wiped the floor'
Changing that 70% doesnt have any 'incident' but they can hardly be
counted has casting their vote either way.  This means that if 30% are
active users, 3.8% means just over 12% of people have voted.

[OSM-talk] License graph

2011-04-16 Thread Toby Murray
Not sure if anyone else is already doing this but two days ago I
thought it would be fun (maybe even useful) to graph the number of
users who have accepted/declined the new license/CT in anticipation of
the next phase going into effect on Sunday. I hacked together a quick
 dirty script to use as a data source in the Zabbix instance I have
set up at home. Zabbix is geared towards system monitoring so it is a
little odd to graph something completely unrelated but it was
available and easy to do and at the end of the day, a graph is a
graph.

Anyway, I didn't feel like sending out the URL to my private zabbix
instance at home to the mailing list so I set up a cron job to
periodically refresh a static image on a more legitimate server. It
can be seen here:
