Re: [Talk-in] Seeking help / resource persons for bulk data imports

Hi Nikhil, any dataset to be imported will need to follow the import
guidelines https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines

It can look like a long winded process, but has been put together from past
learnings. A good first step is to share what is the data being imported so
it can be audited for the license, usefulness and data quality.

[Talk-in] Seeking help / resource persons for bulk data imports

[Nikhil VJ]

Hi Friends,

Craig , Chiranjan (who
works at Pune Municipal Corporation under 100 Resilient Cities program) and
I  have conducted some
sessions on OpenStreetMap in Pune, MH over the past month. One of them was
at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, and another was at College
of Engineering Pune > Town Planning Department.

We have come across queries from people having great data, well curated and
institution-backed, that they want to contribute to OpenStreetMap. But they
do not have the resources and knowledge required to do so on their own.

We do not have experience in this, and the time we have on our side to put
into this will be limited. Looking for some resource person(s) who can
either instruct precisely (very precisely!), or take charge of and drive
the process.

After seeing through one import end-to-end we may develop more capacity to
do this on our own.

I will be attending SOTM Asia this weekend, let's meet up if you're there.

Also inviting other people who want to do bulk data import, let's connect.
