Hi lists,
Sadly, I don’t foresee much future involvement with OSM, so I’m looking
for someone to take over moderation of talk-gb-thenorth.

Next Meeting

gives an introduction to the collaborative mapping phenomenon that is
Open Street Map[1], the project that aims to generate a streetmap of the
entire world. John will also explain the workings of the Open

I am pleased to be able to announce that after discussions between
various OSM contributors and the DfT / Traveline over the past months we
are now able to make this announcement just in time for Xmas :)
A lovely Christmas

Do you think that, just possibly, having to change the tagging on every
single road in the database to implement your scheme might make it just
a tad impractical...
Oh, there are only 20‐odd million. Piece of cake ;)

Well that's different. If there genuinely are two different signs - then you

With all of the current excitement over OS OpenData, I have been
thinking about how tracing, imports, etc, affect what data is actually

In my mind, I’m preferring having a project where data is obtained
purely from ground survey, other projects dealing with other sources of
