Re: [Talk-us] Senseless Germans, again.
Hi guys, I am willing to help re-map the sidewalks in question that got deleted or fix them up, just point me in the right direction please, any links? Now about this discussion: I am one of those mappers who has stopped mapping so much a bit, but life has gotten in my way. I would like to add in one cent of insight here after have lived in Germany for 20 years and being an American, America is huge and people are busy surviving. After having moved back to America, I find I have less time to map and there are generally less people to do the work on open source and open knowledge projects and a lot more space to map and things to do. Texas is twice the size of Germany. We have about same amount of mappers in USA, but with a much more larger area to cover : http://www.osmstats.neis-one.org/?item=countries I have created my share of messes, Topeka Kansas, for example I got some negative feedback, and that place needs some more work to get it up to the level of other places, but at least it has a ton of address data that I brought in and house locations. It is not Berlin, there are not so many people working on it as Berlin. I do see that there are some edits going on. Here is an overview of where I live, and there are a handful of active editors. http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/oooc?zoom=12=40.27294=-74.79694=B0FTT Tokpeka has like 4 active editors, http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/oooc?zoom=12=39.02461=-95.71525=B0FTT Berlin has so many it takes a long time to load http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/oooc?zoom=13=52.51287=13.39633=B0FTT On Wed, Jul 25, 2018 at 11:32 AM, Ian Dees wrote: > Kevin, It's kind of odd that you request that both Bryan and Frederik tone > down the rhetoric and then generalize and repeat the rhetoric throughout > your message. > > American mappers strive for the same goal as almost every other > OpenStreetMapper: to improve the map to the best of their ability.

Re: [Talk-us] Tiger Zip Data Removal Project (Update)
Hans, Just wanted to say to not give up working on osm. Open Knowledge and Open source brings out the worst in people sometimes, just look at the wikipedia edit wars, and other strife, for example the systemd discussion. Some people get very territorial about 'their' section of the map and upset when someone changes something without talking to them. I have also cleaned up my fair share of tiger poo, but to mass delete it would upset me as well, because sometimes it is the best we have for some remote area. Try to pick something to contribute on that you can get buy in from the stakeholders, make sure they support you and you will find that your experience is much more positive! mike On Sat, Jul 8, 2017 at 4:37 PM, Hans De Krygerwrote: > So last month i started a discussion about a project i took on removing > Tiger zip data across the U.S. I brought it to the community after i > received concern from quite a few mappers in the U.S. After getting more > unfriendly changeset comments and messages in my inbox i'm officially done. > The Project is done for good.

[Talk-us] Fwd: School districts
Hi guys, Need advice on how to setup a OSM searchable school district lookup system using a static js driven site. Can we start adding the school districts for the map in the usa? For Lawrence Township they assign individual houses or streets. Here is the best map I have come up with for lawrence so far : https://twitter.com/h4ck3rm1k3/status/761970059430486020 Basically the question is, can we store the school district information attached to a house number or street as needed or do we have to store it externally? I would like to add this information to the house or street level in osm or find a way to link a customer layer to osm. Basically I want to have the user search and find the location in osm, I have added all the house numbers to osm where the streets are split. So we would find a street or a house number, and for that number I need to return the custom data. I have setup and cleaned all the data for Lawrence Township, NJ. We have a project page for mercer county here : https://github.com/codefortrenton/school-districts I am making progress on this topic, the way I am planning on doing it now is to have a geojson file with all the district areas borders for the township and then use a leaflet slippy map to display it on top of osm, and nominatim to search for house numbers, and then take the coordinates found at a give point to lookup the bounding parcel. The problem that I see is that the id might change over time, otherwise I would use the osm id. I guess I could take the streetname and house number and add it to a look up table. mike -- James Michael DuPont Kansas Linux Fest http://kansaslinuxfest.us Free/Libre Open Source and Open Knowledge Association of Kansas http://openkansas.us Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova http://www.flossk.org Saving Wikipedia(tm) articles from deletion http://SpeedyDeletion.wikia.com -- James Michael DuPont Kansas Linux Fest http://kansaslinuxfest.us Free/Libre Open Source and Open Knowledge Association of Kansas http://openkansas.us Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova http://www.flossk.org Saving Wikipedia(tm) articles from deletion http://SpeedyDeletion.wikia.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [OSM-legal-talk] question regarding produced work
Reading http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/%C3%96pnvkarte and the talk page, I would assume that what you are interested in is the rendering styles. The data seems to be from OSM. I am not sure that you would have a legal standing to request them.

Re: [Talk-us] Increasing the number of US Mappers
Many people don't use mailing lists. What about an recent edits around me feature? What if we could comment or vote (like) directly on a changeset/node/line? What if the discussion could be directly a part of the editing process. Community could form more naturally. So you could subscribe to a discussion on a node or area and get updates. Also it would be great to be able to filter out bots or huge world wide edits. Other people might want to talk about railroads. Others want to review talk about recent unreviewed edits. All of these things could be queried and displayed.

These are used as an extra turning lane for cars, so going around corners can be dangerous for cyclists or joggers or walkers who all share them.

Re: [Talk-us] shawnee county landuse
Well I have been looking into the law today, and I talked to the gis expert at the county. First of all we are not importing the peoples names, so anyone doing a mass mailing would be be just getting the address. The data that we imported is being bought by many companies he said. And the address information is being also available from the post as well. I am going to talk to more people in the county or the state, but my first contact said there should be no problem. All we are importing is the fact that there is a house there with that number and the zipcode and the type of landuse.

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] shawnee county landuse
Yes, I am going to be working on this. We can remove the US and KS easily. Not all is perfect, Some of the nodes dont have a house number. That farm node you mentioned is an empty farmyard. http://www.snco.us/Ap/R_prop/Listing.asp?PRCL_ID=0282701001001010 It does not have a house number, but it does exist as a property. I will be either removing them or removing the building nodes. What do you think? Now Flu Con Inc is listed at that address. I added it for now, will be checking it on monday by calling them. This data does need fixing up, it is not perfect, but I am working on it.

Seems odd. - There doesn't appear to be a building there on Bing. Is it new? - Not sure about all the lbcs: tags.

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] shawnee county landuse
Well we can remove the names of the lbcs codes, I left them for now because it is very useful for editing. I am using them to search while editing etc. Well the amount of data we are extracting is very very limited, I see this as basic fair use and factual information. The county gis officer knows what I am doing and did not say anything. The data should be easy to delete if needed. Right now I am still working out the tagging of the various nodes, and when it all done we will remove the lbcs data when it is no longer needed. This is all work in progress, but already the osm database is better than google and other databases, I have been removing misplaced tags and nodes.

Hi, Paul Norman pointed out that I forgot to mail people about my work on topeka. I have recently moved here and have been working on fixing things up. I am working on the topekabikelanes.org as a volunteer and have put in all the bikelanes as proposed routes. I am using the county gis system http://gis.snco.us/publicgis/ps/ and have written a ruby script to pull out the house numbers and land useage data. This data is being check street by street by me personally and I am repairing bad names and tiger garbage. About a separate account, I dont know how I am going to easily manage that, anyone have an idea to do that in josm? In any case i am not mass importing, but doing street by street what I would be doing manually. please advise if there is anything else you need to know. code is here : https://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/shawnee-county-osm-landuse thanks, mike -- James Michael DuPont Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova http://flossk.org Saving wikipedia(tm) articles from deletion http://SpeedyDeletion.wikia.com Contributor FOSM, the CC-BY-SA map of the world http://fosm.org Mozilla Rep https://reps.mozilla.org/u/h4ck3rm1k3 Free Software Foundation Europe Fellow http://fsfe.org/support/?h4ck3rm1k3 ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Re: [OSM-legal-talk] importing ODBl data
that sounds more like my conclusion, it is the end of the road for share alike and sharing for osm. basically it is turning into a dead end road. well guys please help bekim, i have sent him to you, mike On Thu, Sep 20, 2012 at 9:18 PM, Alex Barth a...@mapbox.com wrote: Mike, I think we should come to a clearer recommendation, specifically with regards to share-alike data. The highly infectuous character of share alike licenses severely restricts OSM's leeway of adjusting its license and we shouldn't paint ourselves into a corner this way. Here are the simple rules I do recommend currently when talking to people and that I would love OSM to adopt officially. Contribute only data that is: - Yours - Is public domain or merely requires attribution - You have an explicit permission from owner for contribution to OSM for BTW, I actually think there are only very few potential datasets that are in question here. I have doubts whether ODbL is actually compatible given OSMF's option to change the license to another open license in the future, and CC-BY-SA is clearly not compatible as it does not distinguish between derived and produced works.

How can you keep any imports at all from people who have not agreed to the CT directly? thanks mike This one has been covered pretty exhaustively previously. To recap for all interested: () The CTs where written carefully to say, If you contribute Contents, You are indicating that, as far as You know, You have the right to authorize OSMF to use and distribute those Contents under our current licence terms. current license terms, so ODbL 1.0. () The future is the future, so cannot be known. () Should the license terms change in the future, there is a possibility that imported data may become incompatible. Therefore the original licensor needs be contacted for approval. Given the general trend to more open data, after what we are all about, that approval may well be given. () Note also that, by design, a duty to provide first level attribution is placed on the OSMF. This survives any potential license change and is general the most important concern of government organisations. () The is always the possibility that data may need to be removed and that is one of the minuses of imports. That is why it is important to always understand third-party licenses and to get general consent of any potentially affected, usually national or regional level, OSM mapping community before importing.

If I can resolve this question, then it should not be a problem for me to convince people to add the odbl clause to people providing data. I cannot ask people to agree to an open license, that is out of the question, but odbl for database rights does not seem to be a problem.

Re: [OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap GPS Points Map
I have been wondering what the license is on the gps points? is it affected by the change? mike On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 11:33 AM, Ilya Zverev zve...@textual.ru wrote: Hi! As you know, almost half a year ago a GPX Planet was released ( http://blog.osmfoundation.**org/2012/04/01/bulk-gps-point-**data/http://blog.osmfoundation.org/2012/04/01/bulk-gps-point-data/). At the time I expressed a hope that someone would process that file, making tile layer and regional extracts. Alas, in those months the file has only been statistically analyzed (thanks to Pascal Neis and Steven Kay), but no practical use for that array of data has been found. Well, as they say, OSM is do-ocracy: if you want something, the only way to get it is to do it yourself. So, after several weeks of coding and impatiently waiting for processing to finish, I present to you: 1) A tile layer of GPS points for the whole world down to zoom 11: http://zverik.osm.rambler.ru/**gps/ http://zverik.osm.rambler.ru/gps/ 2) Regional extracts, so you won't have to wait several hours cutting your country out of the planet dump: http://zverik.osm.rambler.ru/** gps/files/extracts/ http://zverik.osm.rambler.ru/gps/files/extracts/ 3) All tools that were used to build that map and those extracts: http://svn.openstreetmap.org/**applications/utils/gps-tracks/** gpxplanet_tools/http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/utils/gps-tracks/gpxplanet_tools/ 4) A nice poster with GPS points, some statistics and interesting facts: http://zverik.osm.rambler.ru/**gps/files/world-gps-points-** 120604-2048.pnghttp://zverik.osm.rambler.ru/gps/files/world-gps-points-120604-2048.png What are uses of this? By this time I found two: a) Now you can adjust your trip plans to collect GPS tracks where there are none in OpenStreetMap database. Sorry, Germany, it's almost impossible in your country. But I was surprised to find some untrodden secondary and even primary roads in hilly regions not far from my city. b) The redaction bot has removed not only whole objects, but a lot of nodes from inside highways. Overlaying the OSM layer with GPS points map makes it very clear where a road deviates from GPS tracks, because the bot ate some of its nodes, or because it was straightened by road workers, and the mapper who updated it didn't bother to upload a fresh track. And since the GPS tile layer is useful for restoring the road network, I've made tiles up to zoom 15 for Poland, with green dots for using in JOSM. Just add tms[15]:http://zverik.osm.**rambler.ru/gps/poland/{zoom}/{* *x}/{y}.pnghttp://zverik.osm.rambler.ru/gps/poland/%7Bzoom%7D/%7Bx%7D/%7By%7D.pngas a TMS layer, and you're good. I hope to see more uses to the GPX Planet, and to see it updated more often. Also, I'd like to remind Ian and Grant about their unfinished tool: https://github.com/iandees/**planet-gpx-dump/https://github.com/iandees/planet-gpx-dump/;) Thanks, IZ __**_ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.**org/listinfo/talkhttp://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- James Michael DuPont Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova http://flossk.org http://flossk.orgSaving wikipedia(tm) articles from deletion http://SpeedyDeletion.wikia.com Contributor FOSM, the CC-BY-SA map of the world http://fosm.org Mozilla Rep https://reps.mozilla.org/u/h4ck3rm1k3 ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Ich werde weiter mich dafuer einsetzen die Problem zu beheben wo ich sie sehe. mike 2012/8/27 Simon Poole si...@poole.ch Ich denke man kann in guten Treuen darüber diskutieren ob die Ablehnung der Mitgliedschaftsanträge durch die OSMF geschickt, nötig, vernünftig etc. war, oder ob (meiner Meinung nach) einfach hätte darüber stehen sollen und normal die Wahl durchziehen. Das alles hat aber nichts damit zu tun ob man das Verhalten der von der Ablehnung betroffenen gut heisst oder irgendwelches Mitleid mit Ihnen hat. Speziell in deinem Fall ist die Ablehnung zu 100% selbstverschuldet und ja, du bespammst seit Wochen verschiedene OSM Mailinglisten mit direkter und indirekter FOSM Werbung.

I am trying to do to my job and to help people in Kosovo with the limited time and resource I have. I got into osm to help these people and they have been helped. We even started to port creative commons to Albanian language and Kosovar law, only for the osmf to ditch that. Most of the editors there have accepted the new license, even if they don't understand it, even if it is not in their language and even if they have no right to relicense everything, but who cares about that? it is their problem now. I at least had the backbone not to accept a license that I knew I could not, I tried to work with you to my ability and to provide alternatives to prevent massive damage. The hurdles here are being put up by the osm foundation in changing the rules of the game, the license midstream. It is not only that the license has changed, but the very fact that it will also change agan and again at whim. How can we spend all this time to port a license over for you to throw it away, and the new regime, which I am only now starting to understand also has no porting process like cc does, but I brought that up. It is just more and more problems being piled up and really I don't want to have to deal with them, but I guess the osmf are just going to force this new regime onto everyone, or force them out. Instead of helping me do my job, you are attacking me personally and otherwise. Instead of helping me fix the problems and addressing my issues, you are ignoring them. We are going to find some solutions for these issues, with or without your help. Instead of jumping in to help fix kosovo, which is not a priority for you, you just delete the data and destroy cities, instead of hiring lawyers like creative commons does and engaging legal teams across the world, you push the legal problems onto the little people and give yourselves the right to create more problems at whim. We are going to look for a solution to relicense the iMapp data, and since you did not bother to contact them or look into it, I will have to.

And the data files themselves don't have a standard for embedding copyright information. This is because Google's Transit Content Agreement pretty much requires that all rights be assigned to Google anyway. http://odd.greatergreaterwashington.org/files/2010/stdgoogletransit.pdf So since the GTFS files include shape and stop geo data directly derived from OSM data, my project is pretty much a dead issue for licensing reasons.

There was a prishtinabuses.info project that flossk.org did, it would be nice to upgrade that to use a route planner. mike On Sat, Aug 18, 2012 at 5:46 PM, Mike N nice...@att.net wrote: On 8/18/2012 8:00 AM, Mike Dupont wrote: This is openplans.org? is the opentrip planner able to use osm data directly? https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner Yes, OpenTripPlanner can use OSM data directly to route for cycle, foot, and even car traffic - although they don't optimize car routing at this time. OpenTripPlanner can also include public transit routing and bike rental service definitions to plan a multimode trip. In order to include public transit information, a GTFS dataset needs to be created to define the routes plans and schedules outside of the OSM data. My tool allows the user to define the schedule data based on OSM route and stop information. OpenTripPlanner then consumes those files and functions as a multimode router. I think this will be within the current and future license as long as I make the tools available to the public. And also as long as the GTFS dataset never gets uploaded to Google. ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk -- James Michael DuPont Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova http://flossk.org Saving wikipedia(tm) articles from deletion http://SpeedyDeletion.wikia.com Contributor FOSM, the CC-BY-SA map of the world http://fosm.org Mozilla Rep https://reps.mozilla.org/u/h4ck3rm1k3 ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

If someone is not working in a GIS field I can't see the courts considering that mapping they did on their own time as being the property of their employer. If they worked in a GIS field then it could get complicated, but none of this depends on the CTs. After working and living in Germany for many many years, and now moving back to the US and have been forced to deal with this issue. it seems that US corporations overreach on this issue and in some cases claim all copyright from employees. It is not just want you do at work or what is related to work but also to what you do in your free time. Of course I would love to have some comfort here and hope that I am overreacting, but if you see some of the links that I posted there are scary NDAS that you are forced to sign it you want to work or contract for some companies. So the CTs and a copyright assignment would basically have to be co-signed by some peoples employers, like the fsf requires for contributors as rob meyers mentions in the next post. I wonder for example, what people who work for bing or google maps have signed and how that might affect their contributions. thanks, mike -- James Michael DuPont Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova http://flossk.org Saving wikipedia(tm) articles from deletion http://SpeedyDeletion.wikia.com Contributor FOSM, the CC-BY-SA map of the world http://fosm.org Mozilla Rep https://reps.mozilla.org/u/h4ck3rm1k3 ___ legal-talk mailing list legal-talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/legal-talk
