Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Fwd: OSM January Meeting

2014-01-03 Thread Andy Robinson
I have an evening concert in Birmingham on the 11th so it would work best
for me if we did a lunchtime meal unless there was the option to eat early
once it gets dark no later than 4:30pm say as that would give me time to get
back into Brum. For mapping purposes the earlier the better because of the
light of course.

 

Cheers

Andy

Hi everyone

Jack - a local mapper in Warwick has forwarded this info on pubs for our Jan
11th meetup. Which one would folk like to meet in? Also do you want an
afternoon of mapping followed by pub or a morning of mapping follwed by pub?
My vote goes to Wetherspoons in the Square  and am/pm not fussed

Regards

Brian

Hi Brian,

 

Merry Christmas and apologies for the delay in replying. I can think of two
possible places to meet (many others exist). If you think most people will
be arriving by train, The Roebuck in Smith Street might be a handy meeting
place. I'm told they do good food. The other one I had in mind was a
Wetherspoons in the town centre - The Thomas Lloyd in the Square. Standard
Wetherspoons type food but it is big.   

 

How does the newcomer identify a group of OSMers? Wikimedians often take
along a banner or are wearing Wikipedia T-shirts and so can be fairly easily
recognised.

 

Regards,

 

Jack

Hi Jack

Thanks for your input - it will be great to meet you. I think we'll probably
concentrate on buildings, addresses, shops and POIs around the town centre -
but other folk may have different ideas. Do you have a recommendation for a
pub with decent food/beer?

Regards

Brian

Hi Brian,

I've been watching the mailing list expecting everyone to express their
enthusiasm for a day's mapping in Warwick but I haven't seen a single reply.
As a Warwick resident I'm certainly up for it. I hope you get enough replies
to make it worthwhile coming here. I notice your post says that Warwick
needs some TLC. Do you have anything particular in mind? Don't worry; I'll
leave you plenty to do on the day!

Most of my mapping is to add missing footpaths along with stiles, gates, etc
after a day's Geocaching. I've added and removed a few things in the Warwick
area too (and anywhere else I've been) when I notice the map is wrong but I
don't consider myself particularly skilled and don't want to do too much in
case it's wrong. It would be nice to meet a few more mappers and perhaps
pick up some hints and tips.

Best wishes,


Jack

Oddly as it seems (if you've been in OSM +3 years), Ordnance Survey might
offer help/partnering. At the FOSS4G conference they gave a workshop on
QGIS and the instructions told how to load in OSM data before getting near
OS(Open) Data.

There is this wiki page, although it may be dated or university-aimed, it
should be a place to continue coordinating documentation/resources.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Education
The see also and external links at the bottom seem to be most useful,
at quick glance.

Greg.

 Well fwiw, the curriculum here

 mentions GIS but doesn't give much detail...

  Well spotted! Getting a hold of the curriculum materials would be a good
  place to start, so we could look for opportunities for them to learn
 about
  OSM.

  Hi everyone
 
  I've just read in a magazine that GIS is now specified in the new
  geography curriculum from Key Stage 3 through to A levels, which means
 3.5
  milllion 11-18 year olds ned to learn about GIS. ESRI already have a
 Schools
  programme in place to take advantage of this.
 
  Is this an opportunity for OpenStreetMap?  How would we start?
