landuse=forestry is a good option as well.

Managed forest for product harvesting  are commonly identified as
Plantations, which I think would be most appropriate term for landuse tag
in that case.

Re: [Talk-br] OpenStreetMap Brasil - Capítulo Brasileiro do OSM

2014-08-16 Thread Stephane Goldstein
Obrigado pelos comentários pessoal.

A imagem abriu para todos porque o que eu enviei foi um PNG.

A minha ideia era mesmo destacar a bandeira. Se deixarmos o mapa e os 0101
aparecerem, acho que fica um pocado confuso, ainda mais quando o logo for
dimensionado para um tamanho menor.
Até tentei colocar transparência na bandeira, mas achei que não ficou muito
bom.

Mas vou fazer mais uns testes e enviar outras opções.

Também é preciso resolver este problema do SVG não abrir no browser.

Eu vi que foi criado um repositório no Github. Mas o wiki também tem uma
página pra isso:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Logos#National_Logos

Os logos que estão lá podem também ajudar a dar ideias.
Reparem no logo do Senegal, que também fui eu que fiz (qualquer semelhança
é mera coincidência :p)

Abraço

Re: [OSM-talk] Converting OSM roads to GIS dataset (Queensland, Australia)

2013-09-02 Thread Stephane Goldstein
I usually first extract the pbf file to a PostgreSQL database using osm2pgsql.

Then connect to the DB using any GIS software.

In osm2pgsql you can specify a bounding box and which features you want to 
extract to the DB, to speed up the process.

Subject: [OSM-talk] Converting OSM roads to GIS dataset (Queensland, Australia)

Hello all,

I'm trying to convert the Queensland, Australia OSM roads into a GIS format 
(esri shape or mapinfo) using GDAL 1.10

I downloaded a .osm.pbf file for australia from 
http://download.geofabrik.de/australia-oceania/australia.html 

I'm only really after the geometry that represents roads. So I don't need the 
points or polygons.

Does anyone have any suggestions about any arguments I can put into my GDAL 
command to restrict translation to only what I consider relevant?

For example, the argument -spat 136 -31 156 should restrict import to a 
bounding box that approximately represents Qld.

I would appreciate advice on;
- what geometry layer suits my purposes
- how to specify that in a GDAL argument

Kind regards,

Re: [Talk-br] Procura-se voluntários para importação IBGE

2012-06-12 Thread Stephane Goldstein
Olá Vitor.

 Baixei o arquivo [1] para dar uma olhada.

 Será que não seria melhor simplificar estas vías antes de importa-las ?
 Não sei qual seria o melhor método para fazer isso, mas acho que elas estão 
com mais pontos do que o necessario, sobrecarregando a base e tornando o 
trabalho no JOSM muito lento.

 Olá a todos, O IBGE disponibilizou recentemente uns mapas bem precisos do 
estado do Rio de Janeiro. Infelizmente, a unica maneira de importar esses dados 
pro OSM é por um procedimento semi-manual. Logo, eu estou procurando 
voluntários para me ajudar com este trabalho. Para quem estiver interessado em 
ajudar, é so visitar a pagina [1]. Um abraço, -Vitor [1]

[OSM-talk] OSM software

2012-03-09 Thread Stephane Goldstein
Hello.

 OSM has already been proved as the ultimate tool for collaborative mapping.

 Is there a way someone could use the same platform to work on private mapping 
colaboration projects ?

 To explain myself better: In the wiki case, you can download the MediaWiki 
software, install it on your server and run your own private wiki for 
gathering, assembling and organizing information within your workgroup.

 Is there a way to do the same with the OSM software ?

 I just joined and NGO that works with volunteers from all over the world and 
it would be really great for us if we could use the OSM system to create our 
own maps and discuss about it.

 Of course we could do it directly on the OSM database, but as we are in an 
experimental phase, we would be messing up the OSM database.
 Once our maps are concluded, we could then insert the relevant parts of our 
work on OSM.

Thanks Jaime.

 I think this is still beyond my reach right now.
 I have no experience in development or coding.
 I was thinking that maybe there was some simpler solution.
 Maybe some day. I think it would be of great value for the GIS people to have 
such tool at hands.
