[Talk-gb-westmidlands] 10th Anniversary Party

[Talk-GB] Not all Notes are Equal

The Notes feature available on the OSM home page is a great way to encourage non-mappers to add comments and point our errors and omissions (it's also a great method for mappers too!) BUT now all the extant OpenStreetBugs Notes have migrated over , some of which are YEARS old, it's all

Re: [Talk-GB] Not all Notes are Equal

Hi Brian It sounds a good idea, it would be useful to be able to filter notes by age too. When notes are added, a message does appear in the gb irc channel, where they can be looked at by somebody, but the fading sounds a nice idea. Phil (trigpoint) -- Sent from my Nokia N9 On 26/03/2014

Re: [Talk-GB] One for Post Box obsessives

- Around Maidenhead a wall post box mounted in a brick pillar is a fairly common type. I'm at a loss as to how these might be tagged using post_box:type. A good example is SL6 4, which is tagged as a pillar, but according to Post Hoc is a wall box

Hi, I've been contacted by someone from the German Museum of Technology in Berlin (http://www.sdtb.de/English.122.0.html). They're doing an exhibition about networked technology, and within that they're also highlighting GPS and its use in collaborative projects. They'd like to feature

[Talk-GB] Fwd: [Talk-scotland] Shetland-Orkney ferry and NCN 1

Here’s some info from someone who used to live on Shetland and has visited recently, and is an OSM mapper who isn’t on the list. Begin forwarded message: From: John Robert Peterson jrp@gmail.com Subject: Re: [Talk-scotland] Shetland-Orkney ferry and NCN 1 Date: 26 March 2014 18:00:17 GMT

Re: [Talk-GB] Fwd: [Talk-scotland] Shetland-Orkney ferry and NCN 1
