Re: [talk-au] [SOTM] State of country Australia poster

Since last year, it has been a very interesting year for Australia with some major imports like the boundaries and the introduction of Nearmap. Obviously, it would be better if someone from Australia could come to present it but I would be equally happy just to hang the poster for people to see what is happening. The printing of the poster would be done directly in Girona so it wouldn't be a problem if a PDF was to be sent. I would love to see some of you just to put a face on the names that I see and it is always better to meet in person. I'm a bit confused what you're asking for. Are you asking for someone (or someones) to produce an Australian poster? What's the deadline? Or one has already been done, but you'd like someone Australian to present it?

Re: [talk-au] Brisbane Mapping Meetup #2 is soon!
Hi everyone, Only two weeks to go now to the next OSM Meetup, now at the exciting new Monday night timeslot. Please let me know if can come, and I'll be sending out another reminder email in a week's time. Happy mapping, - David On 30 May 2010 21:37, David Dean dd...@ieee.org wrote: Hi everyone, This is just a quick email to let everyone know that the second Brisbane Mapping Meetup is at Grange Library at 18:30 on Monday the 21st of June. I would like to encourage as many people as possible to come, especially new mappers. This event will be a sit-down mapping meetup where we can all get together and talk about how to map using OSM tools, and we'll be more than happy to demonstrate mapping to anyone who is interested. So, please feel free to bring your laptops if you want to learn how to use JOSM/Potlatch/Meerkator or have any other OSM mapping questions. I'm sure we'll be able to help. For more details on the event, please visit http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Brisbane_Mapping_Meetups.

I would like to see a poster done by the Australian community so it can be displayed at the SOTM. Obviously, it would be better for an Australian to present it, but if no one can come, it will be still displayed. I am finishing a sample and I will display it soon.

This is true. i.e. Rather than automatically adding layer=whatever to the DB where it's missing, leave that out of the DB and assume corresponding defaults in the client app, when the data is read from the DB. Or in other words, you're not adding any useful *information* to the database. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
Re: [talk-au] Bridges and Tunnels
On Mon, 7 Jun 2010, Steve Bennett wrote: Each bridge that currently does not have a layer tag would have layer=1 added. That will be incorrect if a bridge crosses a body of water (or other object) that has a layer tag other than zero. Which means some renderers may go from currently rendering something correctly, to rendering it incorrectly as a result of that change. When putting long rivers on the map eg Darling, Bidgee, Lachlan I routinely put the unsurveyed river at layer=-1 when i actually get there and find whether the road has a bridge, a punt or a ford to cross the road, then I do some changes to road and river. So frequently a body of water will have a layer tag other than zero. Liz ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

It's useful to set most waterway=drain to be layer=-1 to stop false positives from showing up on keepright when they run under roads and such. To simplify maybe it should be assumed that all waterways are layer=-1 and any tunnels default to layer=-2, that would solve the issue from a preprocessing point of view wouldn't it? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
