[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Completing the Black Country by tracing OSSV
Hi everyone Andy and I reckon it would be great to complete the Black Country taking advantage of the data available to us from OSSV. I'm going to tidy up the wiki at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mappa_Mercia/Black_Country#Introductionupdating the tables showing completion ( this might take a couple of days as there's over 200 slices - any help appreciated!). If everyone is up for this you can then take a slice and annotate the notes section that you're using OSSV tracing and obviously fill in the column when you've completed it. That way we will have a record of what needs to be surveyed when anyone is up for actually going there and surveying on the ground. We can also use OSM Mapper of course to track OSSV edits Ed - how do you feel about us making our initial effort in Wolverhampton?

Fine by me. I’ve not had chance to do any more recently (since Christmas, perhaps) and don’t know when I’ll get chance (we’re passing through mid-May but doubt I’ll have time to go out mapping). I’m currently using OSSV to draw building outlines in Clacton where I previously surveyed house numbers, and then resurveying to double check which outlines are semidetached and which detached, as my waypoints alone aren’t always clear enough alone. Oh, and I’ve got to finish preparing a presentation about OSM for Saturday in Witham (Essex). So won’t have time to help with any tracing for some time. I did trace the houses in Wolverhampton by West Park where my parents live, numbered them from memory and then got my mum to pop out and check the numbers either end of the row were correct. I was also tempted to do the same for where I used to live in Perton, but couldn’t remember the number I used to live at and need to look it up before tracing there… Ed From: Brian Prangle [mailto:bpran...@googlemail.com] Sent: 20 April 2010 10:05 To: Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org; Ed Loach Subject: Completing the Black Country by tracing OSSV Hi everyone Andy and I reckon it would be great to complete the Black Country taking advantage of the data available to us from OSSV.

Sorry I couldn't make it; sounds like you had fun. I've updated the Wiki page to use past tense; can someone please check the attendee list?
