Re: [Talk-TW] Working together in improving Taiwan roads

[Srividya Bharadwaj]

Hello everyone,

As discussed earlier by Maning [0], we reviewed alignment of current
OpenStreetMap data and imagery available for tracing with Strava GPS
traces.  I posted my observations in my diary [1].  As a result of our
review, our satellite team at Mapbox updated our imagery for several cities
in Taiwan [2].  All our Mapbox Satellite imagery is open for tracing in
OpenStreetMap.  We hope the community will find this useful in improving
the data.  This is just a start and we are excited to work together with
the TW-OSM community.

[Talk-in] FSMK Mapping Party

[Srividya Bharadwaj]

Hello everyone,

FSMK(Free Software Movement Karnataka) has been conducting residential
camps in various engineering colleges every year and make students to use
and contribute to Free and Open Source Software technologies.

OSM community and FSMK is organising the mapping party for engineering
students. It would be great if members from OSM community and be part of
the event and help students to get started with mapping.

[Talk-in] Tag for wedding hall/kalyan mantap

[Srividya Bharadwaj]

Hi,


Which tag do I need to use for mapping wedding hall or kalyan mantaps. I
couldn't find one here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_features. There 
are some more Indian relevant POIs for which there are no presets in osm.



thanks,
