Re: [talk-au] OSM people in ACT
Hi Kristy, I'm not in the ACT but the following would be nice data to add and could be done by anyone if licenced appropriately. Addresses In a ESRI shape file or osm file geocoded like the Vic, Tas and Qld. Victorian and Tasmanian are the best examples have a look at thelist.tas.gov.au or data.vic.gov.au Building outlines. In an ESRI shape file or osm file geocoded like the Launceston and Glenorchy City Council data on thelist.tas.gov.au also. Road centerlines with names. As a wms layer same as at thelist.tas.gov.au This is not overly necessary as most of the names can be deduced from the address data. Just sometimes there is short streets where there is no actual property with an address so it can be looked up. Also where one road changes names partway along the road with no discernable intersection.

Re: [talk-au] OSM people in ACT
Thanks Jason, This is a great tool! The majority of government is trying to move to an open license, with GA leading in the geospatial front. What we need to get our heads around is the difference between CCBY 4.0 and ODBL. Community outreach programs would be great, or even potentially working with spatial institutes such as SSSI to encourage OSM in schools. I will take a look at the import list and see whats happening around the world - your right this might shed a light on potential assistance. As Andrew just pointed out access to imagery would also be very beneficial, I will look into this a bit further and see what can be done there (specially ACT to start with). I will start to contact the super users in ACT.

Re: [talk-au] OSM people in ACT [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Thanks Kristy, I would support the idea of discerning the difference between CCBY and ODBL. THe intent of the open data policy is to make data useable with minimal restriction, and ODBL seems to be an appropriate instrument for handling this in database format. CCBY seems ok for maps but not for databases. I got in touch with OSM contributor Michael Cleary last week who was visiting GA as part of the Power of Maps conference. He outlined pretty well what he sees the issues are viz ODBL vs CCBY4.0. I am beginning to get a clearer picture on what these issues are and am keen to get it resolved, but will need continued feedback from the OSM community on this. This is also worth bringing up in the Foundation Spatial Data Framework policy discussions which I am heavily involved in. FSDF also needs to consider the role of volunteered geographic information in the update of national foundation spatial datasets - so there is even greater imperative to have OSM involved in those discussions. The use cases included in the email trail are excellent examples of the need to get this sorted.
