+1 Belgium is pretty small, so we might not need 6 parties a year. Let's
first do Brussels, see what works and what not. Adapt and then plan the
next event (after summer perhaps). I also think that events on which people
can just learn about OSM are more needed now that actual mapping parties.
During those meetings we could help novice mappers with problems, but also
talk about how to use OSM, ... Much like meetups but perhaps with a better
possibility to do some mapping.

Hello,

For April 25, we still need experienced mappers.

For your information, a colleague of mine (Michel Willemse) who 
registered and will be present, is an active cyclist. He has already 
contacted Gracq, fietsersverbond ... GRACQ has reacted very positively 
... but for the date : they already have a cyclist event in the very 
nearby "parc de Bruxelles".


Michel's idea is that, if the weather permit, instead or on top of 
doing some activities to start with and describe OSM, what can be done 
during the morning ... we (or at least some of us) do something similar 
at the Parc for the cyclist, leveraging the large number of cyclists 
who will be present for Gracsq's event. We could do so simply by 
preparing paper maps to fill and some printed papers to distribute 
stating where to download mapilliary / osmand (or the best OSM mapping 
tool), what to do ... I am thinking to a 1 page, simple to read, 
instructions.


Yes, as Marc proposes, next time, we'll contact the walkers groups and 
maybe the people responsible for tourism in Brussels. We could also 
leverage them to better describe Brussels as a touristic place and map 
everything that could be touristically interessant and make links to 
descriptions (if possible text + sounds + videos) 


But this will be for another time.

I am even considering that one activity that could become repetitive, 
with a short repeat time (if handled by the tourist authorities who pay 
a leader) would be guided tours of Brussels with mapping purposes. I am 
dreaming of tours every saturday morning for example, where walkers in 
the city would discover a new location in the city and at the same time 
map everything they encounter during the visit. Can you imagine what a 
good map we would hava after one year only ?


With many information and on top, 52 guided tours on OSM.

Have a good week end,

Nicolas

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Helping out OpenStreetMap Belgium Working Group! (was: 'Mapper of the month')

[Marc Ducobu]

Hello everyone.

Here is my reflexion about this conversation.

#Todo list

Thanks Ben for the todo list. But we have to detail it like
- what are the problems of the drupal website (blog language ? ).

Also it is good to have a tool that permit to the list to progress,
create new category (one of this category can be the 25 avril event...
).

I can try to help for the website improvement, sometimes for the
french communication,...

#Mapping party

It is nice to have some mapping party but I think that a Belgium
meeting (not only a mapping party is also interresing). The idea about
this meeting is to develop the community : meeting each other, talk
about how to develop the community, invite poeple for other community,


Also it is nice to have some mapping party but we have to be careful
trying to do 6 mapping party this year is maybe too ambitious. I
prefer to have 3 good mapping parties in Belgium during 5 years than 6
during one year and nothing after. I don't want to refrain someone to
organise mapping party, but we have to have attainable goals and there
is a lot of work.

A way to attract beginners in OSM is to contact ASBL / VZW  or local
organisation that can be interesting in OSM. For the 25 april we can
contact the Gracq ( also the local chapter of the Gracq ) and the
fietsersbond (I don't know if there exist local chapter). Another time
we can contact walker group (and explain how to put osm on a gps
device), tourism association, ...).

Hi Marc,

Redmine is dreadful to setup in the first place, using nginx + passenger
it is doable but once you need to apply updates to ruby it goes south.
I professionally support redmine installs and I hate them, so I like the
idea a lot but not the software you suggest.

It's fine at first but with some plugins you start to hit the rails/ruby
versioning issues that make it hell to support and keep it secure.

On the other hand, maybe we can use trac like JOSM does.  The tool
http://trac.edgewall.org/ might not be fancy, but all I ever need to do
is run the standalone version behind an nginx webserver and it runs for
years , written in python.  With the limited resources we have, we need
some low mainteance thing.

Trac is also nice since it doesn't 'force' a ticket flow, you can just
invent one that suits you.  It's a project help tool more than a
ticketing/helpdesk tool like redmine. (which is ok as long as you don't
have to touch it after a sucessfull initial install)

Greetings,

Glenn

PS: I also feel that all the sudden we have a boost in this community,
it's awesome and contagious too!

Hello every one !

I have the impression that all of us wants to develop the community of
OSM belgium and I'm happy about it! Moreover it is nice to see that we
have a reflexion about it.

I like a lot the idea of the 'todo' because some people wants to help
but doesn't know what to do (sometimes too much emails to read, no
occasion to talk in real life with others, ...). Redmine (
http://www.redmine.org/ ) can be useful tool for that (maybe there is
other tool more efficient, even a page on the drupal site is
enough...). But I think that the must important step is to have a
reflexion about the organisation of this todo list because it can be
very messy and so useless. Maybe we can contact other local community
to know if they use such a tool...

Also I think that it will be interesting is to have a national meeting
once a year (or twice). To build a community, it is important to meet
each others in real. Also it can be a good occasion to motivate new
people to help us...

Have a nice we.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] wadi

[Jo]

Sus, kan je wat voorbeelden geven van zoekopdrachten, die je wenst uit te
voeren, maar die problemen opleveren. In spreektaal, zeg maar.

Ik heb nogal wat ervaring met zoekopdrachten in JOSM. Het wordt vooral
leuk, als het zo wat ingewikkelder is en er regular expressions aan te pas
komen... Of als je alles wilt wat 15m rondom een bepaalde node ligt.

Ik zal dan waarschijnlijk ook de wiki wat verder uitbreiden.

mvg,

Jo

Re: [OSM-talk-be] wadi

[Glenn Plas]

HAllo Sus,

Geen probleem, als je het graag doet, wie ben ik om het af te pakken?

Je kan altijd via overpass aan de wadi's geraken en dan exporten in JOSM
ipv alles te downloaden en dan de filters toe te passen, dan zie je
enkel de wadi's natuurlijk.  In dit geval nodes+ways (nodes zijn niet
echt nodig want slaagt op niet veel, maar je kan zo de fouten wel
spotten als ze er zijn)

Probeer misschien dit eens:

http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/83t

Er zijn geen wadi's in de rest van het land , enkel in het zuiden.  Je
kan nu via "Export" het openen in JOSM , indien "JOSM remote control"
aangezet is.  Gewoon JOSM opstarten en dan "export" tikken.

Die kan je dan editten met in het achterhoofd de wetenschap dat je enkel
aan die raakt (en dus niets anders bijzet, of niet TE veel verplaatst).

Je kan die map op het gebied zetten waar je hard hebt gewerkt en dan de
query draaien, dat kan best een groot gebied zijn. (bv heel belgie).

Veel success,

Glenn

Re: [OSM-talk-be] wadi

[Sus Verhoeven]

Hooi Jorieke
Een probleem van de wadi's is dat de satbeelden waarschijnlijk in het droge
seizoen opgenomen zijn, al staat er in sommigen nog wat water. Op de
hoofdwegen is er gewoonlijk wel een zichtbare brug als ze een wadi kruisen.
De meeste 'farmlands' liggen wel in de buurt van de wadis en ik
veronderstel dat ze in het regenseizoen wel belangrijk zijn.
De meeste mappers mappen in de dorpen enkel gebouwen met een platen dak en
verwaarlozen al de gebouwen met strooien daken, vooral de hutten. Op de
foto's lijken die toch even belagrijk.
Is het waar dat in de dorpen de mannen soms tot vier vrouwen hebben en dat
deze telkens een andere hut krijgen ?
Sommigen mappen die hutten met een speciale hut tag, maar ik denk dat dat
fout is , dietag  is toch meer bedoeld voor berghutten?

Ik heb ook opgemerkt dat er een overlap is van het noorderlijk deel van de
zone #794 en een andere zone zuidelijk van Bamako. Dat kan wel vervelend
zijn. Het nummer kan ik nu niet vinden maar ik kan het wel opzoeken.

In ieder geval, een goede reis.

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Maritime boundary

[Sander Deryckere]

Sea-sand isn't really what we need. It's not pure enough, and a lot rounder
than river sand, so less useful for construction.

But this does matter to the economical activities happening there I guess.
Like the ice cream selling boy going over the beach. If the wet beach
wouldn't belong to the region, that could create a whole lot of
administrative problems.

But since I fail to find any good data concerning the water lines (even
tried altitude data), I guess we won't be able to adapt the boundaries for
now.

Sander

Given that unusable wet sand is of little value, the real issue is to
whom the water and the shrimps would belong.
Half of the time they would be over regional land and half of the time
over federal land.

That's indeed a very good starting point. This is something that can be
done during a mapping party.

As a side note, pictures taking from cars do not always have the quality
that is needed to use for mapping.
I followed a track of pictures on Mapillary the other day, but the
destination signs (in which I was interested were barely readable.)
Typically to far away and the next one was past the sign. The problem to
read the name of a pub. Lot's of work to get the sharp picture in the right
spot.
But after reading the thread on the Dutch forum on Mapillary, I wonder
whether the company is interested in high-res pictures.

And to Nicolas, it would indeed be nice to have a direct link to all 
the mappers of the month. I'll have a look if I can add a keyword or 
something...
