Re: [HOT] sporadic validation report

Thanks Mikel, agreed. We had a HOT management meeting in DC last week and this was a topic of conversation. We discussed the steps we can take to help support a vibrant developer community. We started outlining some of this a few weeks ago: https://www.hotosm.org/updates/2017-11-22_hot_tech_in_201

Re: [HOT] sporadic validation report

Let's stop apologizing to Bryan and figure out how HOT can practically do better to support a vibrant developer community. It's not about more mailing list discussion, but clarity and leadership and how to be productive. * Mikel Maron * +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron On Wednesday, Decembe

Re: [HOT] sporadic validation report

Hi Bryan, I just want to echo what Russ said, and let you know how much I and everyone at HOT appreciates how much you have done for the OpenStreetMap community. The iD editor and your work specifically, has made the OpenStreetMap project and open geospatial data creation accessible to 10's of tho

Re: [HOT] sporadic validation report

Really insulting I think. There's nothing wrong in iD, it properly offers the way to rectangularize the features that are dr'awn, but even if they are buildings, there will NEVER be any rule that says that buildings MUST be square (or even circular). HOT projects provide basic instructions on how

[HOT] Code of Conduct Reminder

Earlier today someone on this list made some rude and disparaging remarks about the iD developers. This is not the first time an outside supporting group has been attacked by members of this list. Your words have meaning. Your words can have far greater impact than you believe. One individual, not

Re: [HOT] sporadic validation report

Bryan, I hope you know that HOT appreciates all you do; personally I don’t disagree with leaving communication channels that are more frustration than anything else. My point being, that message was against the Code of Conduct for all community members participating in HOT related tools and

Re: [HOT] sporadic validation report

Hi Ralf, I hope it doesn’t need much explaining, but that message doesn’t belong on the HOT mailing list for 2 reasons. 1) The iD developers are not necessarily on the HOT mailing list (this list is for discussing things related to the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) https://hotosm.or

Re: [HOT] sporadic validation report

If you're using JOSM to validate just select all the buildings (search) then select within nodes:4 then press q. In TM2 you could do multiple tiles at once but TM3 places each tile on a separate whatever. Squaring them isn't to me quite so much of an issue as when you do it the alignment etc may

Re: [HOT] sporadic validation report

Whoa, not ok. There is plenty of momentum on this issue, and this is not constructive. Lashing out like this is disrespectful not only to developers, but everyone else on this list.-Mikel * Mikel Maron * +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron On Wednesday, December 13, 2017, 11:46:15 AM EST, Ralf

Hello, just now 5 out of 5 people that registered within the last 24 hours and worked on task #3939 did not square their buildings. I hate you, iD devs. ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot

Dear Friends, I thought some of us here might find this discussion from the OSM general discussion list interesting. It is about making map data available for the visually impaired and someone from an organization that specializes resources for the blind posted about how OpenStreetMap is being use

Re: [HOT] Buildings and HOT's reputation in OSM

Dear All, There have been two responses to mine about a building editor. I apologize for the confusion and I do not advocate for a separate building, nor does anyone else. I’ve moved my discussion to the appropriate slack channel. Thank you for the links. Best, Walker On Dec 13, 2017, at

Re: [HOT] Buildings and HOT's reputation in OSM

Hi all, I think people interested in the subject of a building tool in iD should read a few pages (if not already found and read): - View of the maintener https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues/528#issuecomment-346234741 - First coding attempt https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/2699 -
