Re: [Talk-ca] Ottawa Missing Map Event In November Planning

2015-09-27 Thread Richard Burcher

Hi John,

Good points. We talked abit about this at our meeting last Friday and
decided that we'll have a quick introduction to OSM and a beginners "get
going" walk through. Thinking max 30 minutes for this. We'll ensure we have
folks wandering around or that can be flagged down for help. Many of us,
including myself are still learning (lots of detail with OSM) but we want
to pass on what we can:) We'll primarily focus on using iD to keep it
simple plus use a tasking manager (assuming the HOT one). We're thinking of
printing a few large maps that we can use as discussion points for
teaching.

Cheers,

Richard

 I just wanted to say thank you. I'll it widely. Perhaps consider

We don't have a venue yet. One of our members is looking into several
options that we we'll select from but definitely open to suggestions. At
this point, free or a minimum cost would be ideal. We'd like to see grow
this into a more regular occurring event.

Cheers,

Richard

Do you have a confirmed venue with lots of wifi bandwidth?  If its
preinstalled JOSM its not too bad but going by other maperthons iD seems to
be more demanding.

Good point.

How about a university? I have had great luck with those. I think that
someone from Norman Patterson (Carleton) has been writing about HOT and
OSM. Let us know

John/Richard, is there a list that folks have on tech specs setting up
Missing Maps? I know that Pete has been doing them often in London UK and
could help if needed.

Re: [Talk-ca] Ottawa Missing Map Event In November Planning

2015-09-26 Thread john whelan

IDRC as well might have some ideas perhaps?  http://www.idrc.ca especially
as follow up to their open data conference in Ottawa this year.  Pete might
well have some ideas of what the logistical requirements are.

Does HOT have a mapathon planning guide that could be used?  I know a lot
of work has gone into training guides recently, trying to make them simpler
and more relevant.

Note to Richard if you have a lot of newcomers the difficulty is they want
to get started right away, and experienced OSM mappers don't always read
the project instructions to see what the HOT conventions are.  Highways for
example tend to use a subset of the OSM possibilities.  Also iD is fairly
new so many experienced OSM mappers such as myself don't know their way
round it to assist newcomers.

Thanks

Cheerio John
