Re: [Talk-us] Get your early bird ticket to State of the Map US!
Hey Lars - Just helps us to know our audience better, more than anything this is useful for future conferences (Like any data of this kind of personally identifiable data we collect we don't share). It's mandatory to make sure we get the info ;-) Please write 'none' or anything else in there if you're attending on your own behalf. Thanks!

Early bird ticket sales for State of the Map US are open, find out all the details on our web site: http://openstreetmap.us/2014/12/early-bird/ Looking forward to the conference!

Alex, If the early bird special is $90.00 what is the sleepyhead price? Is there going to be a cut off number for the number of people attending?

We (the Maptime organizers) are also planning a Maptime summit/conference that will happen in conjunction with State of the Map US, so we hope that will also bring a lot of individuals (especially new mappers) who might not otherwise attend a State of the Map.

Re: [Talk-us] Tagging addresses on area's

This is driving me insane since it's making it impossible to complete mapping the caravan site I live I punted. When Josm added a preset that included addr:flats, then I started using that tag. Right or wrong I figured most of the other tags are Euro-English coloured, so to speak, that it did not mater if I used addr:flats verses addr:unit. The problem is that only addr:house number renders. I am not sure how we can render an address so that it is useful other than only displaying the number. Then there is a debate over what tags to add for completeness of an imported address such as addr:state being redundant. Moreover, there is the debate of including/excluding zipcode areas in the OSM data so that it could be used to improve address data. On top of suites what do we do with building numbers. I have no joy with a complex like this http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/33.59390/-111.98171. How do you add the suite ranges with any meaning along with a building letter that is useful on the map? I though x001-x012 for the suite because there is more than one suite for the building. The floor is the distinguishing number for all the suites in that building. Then there was this experiment http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/33.58335/-111.90703. I left crappy but useful map data. addr:housenumber contains both the number and the building letter in the same field. The map is useful because you can find the building. How have other people tried to handle these situations? Regards, Greg ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
