[Talk-ca] OSM New-York - Import de contours de batiments et adresses
Bonne année à tous, Je découvre cette note parlant de OSM-US et de l'import du bati et des adresses de New-York. https://www.mapbox.com/blog/nyc-and-openstreetmap-cooperating-through-open-data/ http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/lxbarth/diary/20418 Voici une zone où l'import a été effectué. Cela montre comment ces imports contribuent grandement à améliorer la carte de New-York. http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/40.60681/-73.96337 Ce qui permet par exemple de faire une recherche sur une adresse précise et de repérer l'immeuble : 1764, East 10th Street, New-York Pierre ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

I would point to the NYC building import as another example of how imports can go badly, and be damaging for OpenStreetMap. To be beneficial, any import must be handled with extreme care. NYC has not done that. You'll have to read a very long thread to understand what is going on, from those who are involved. (on the us imports list) https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/imports-us/2013-December/000447.html My summary is that the NYC building import is as flawed as most every other attempt to Get a bunch of data in OSM in a hurry. Just a few users are responsible for the bulk of the edits. Those few users are creating data at a rate that far exceeds their ability to curate the data on the way in; and so the data is poor in terms of quality. And the rate far exceeds the ability of the real mapping community to repair the imported data in a timely manner; and so the local mappers are overwhelmed and frustrated by the damage done by some small number of importers. The New York City building import is an example of an import gone wrong. I hope that the parties involved will continue to work on fixing their efforts, rather than just blasting bits into the data base. Improving address coverage in OpenStreetMap is a great benefit to the project, especially to those who wish to consume OpenStreetMap data. You can make an impact and improve OpenStreetMap data in your neighbourhood by surveying address data as you improve other data. No imports required. Just map it. :-) Building outlines are very pretty, but are not as broadly useful as addresses; we navigate to an address, not to a building rectangular in form, 32m on one side and 36m on the adjacent... That said, once you draw a building outline, that is a great place to hang the address tags.

[Talk-ca] Mappy New Year
Hi All, I hope that you are off to a great start on your mapping activities for 2014. OpenStreetMap is certainly off to a great start. User emacsen wrote a compelling article today that drove a significant number of new mappers to OpenStreetMap. That's some great advocacy, right there. The article is really aimed at folks who are not yet mappers, so not really the same audience of these lists, as we're already mappers. but you might enjoy the article anyway. Have a look. http://blog.emacsen.net/blog/2014/01/04/why-the-world-needs-openstreetmap/ In 2014 we will see the 10 anniversary / birthday of OpenStreetMap. What are you going to do to celebrate? We (the local mappers in Toronto) will host another OpenStreetMap Mapiversary party, details to be determined, how about your local group? On that subject, is this the year that you'll start a local mapping group in your town? I've never understood why it is that the German community has groups of mappers that meet each month, in just about every city, town and village of size, while in North America those groups are very rare. It could be that the difference is you. You can start a successful, self-sustaining local group that meets each month to discuss OpenStreetMap. So you should do that. It's great fun. Part of our fun in Toronto in 2013 included, the 9th birthday party, including a map cake. Twelve regularly scheduled Mappy Hour events, two formal presentation events, three special guest events to celebrate august mappers visiting from other places. (and a little bit of a flood, but we soldiered on anyway.) What about this thread? Tell me, what your plans are for 2014? and have a Mappy New Year, Richard ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

On this topic, are there any others on this list from the Lloydminster AB or SK area.

Hi Darren, I'm in Edmonton and interested in expanding my OSM activities - a bit further west that you but we might have some overlapping interests.
