Re: [Talk-GB] FW: [carto-soc] Maps available (London WC2)
Hi, I'm nearby enough to pop-in. If someone tells me what I'm looking for and I have someone else to pass them on to because I wouldn't know what to do with them! Ciarán ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] GB Chapter
Hi, Might be cool to set up a Saturday mapping party and social combined somewhere easy to reach and needing some mapping between London and Birmingham. That's a great idea! Could you suggest a date? Date's are usually more of a problem for me than location. Cheers, Ciarán ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] WM Hack Day
Hi, There was talk on Saturday about a OSM hack day in Birmingham. Was there any preliminary dates for the event? I'm going to miss the London event, and have an idea I'd like to try out (making an OSM based A-Z).

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Kidderminster/Bewdley Mapping Party (SatMap) on Saturday 17th April 2010
Hi, You'd be more than welcome! Having contributed is not a requirement to attend a mapping party. I was the same as you, just turned up to a weekend mapping event and got shown the ropes, and now I try and fit some in when I can.

Re: [Talk-GB] Locating Postboxes article Guardian
Hi, Also I've spoken to Draco in the past, and his website does not sync with OSM. He has tried to get help with a mass import but the discussion was rat-holed due to supposed problem deriving data from Royal Mails postbox list. http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/legal-talk/2009-July/002560.html I plan on emailing whoever responded to the original FOI request at Royal Mail and see if we can get explicit permission to use the data.

Re: [Talk-GB] liam123's latest
Hi, We seem unable to contact Liam123 via normal channels. This means we have to think of other ways of contacting members who continually put mistakes into the dataset. Is it not possible to put a flag on his account, so when he logs in he is told what he has been doing and asked to explain himself? Preferably with a form box that forwards the message to this list? Otherwise we are going to go around in circles trying to undo his work, rather than solving the problem. We need to get him on our side rather than just having him toy with something we feel is very important.

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Mapping the University of Birmingham
Hi, It is difficult, but possible. Both me and Christoph have tried to map bits of the campus. I found that I had to do it in a half traditional - half technical manner. The attached picture explains it better. Each X is a waypoint, taken a distance away from the building in an area you get better GPS accuracy. And the black box is a building. You sight along a wall of a building until you are exactly level with it, take a waypoint and then go to the other side. In JOSM you can then join the way points, and get a box. Brian has another way of doing, by using a compass, but I haven't got a compass, and I'm not sure of the accuracy/distances involved. Good luck with Birmingham University, I may have a crack at it too in the next few weeks.

Re: [Talk-GB] Postcodes map moribund?
Hi, Seen this map before, very cool. Do you use the postcode=* or add:postcode=* to pull out the areas? Ciarán ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
