Re: [Talk-GB] Still too many universities in Cambridge

Funnily enough this long-standing issue came up at our pub meeting last month. Although my reaction has always been to let sleeping dogs lie, this was clearly not the consensus. I've sent a message to University of Cambridge Information Services who run the map.cam.ac.uk site which consumes the

Re: [Talk-GB] Still too many universities in Cambridge

Nice work Jerry. I've touted Universities as a Quarterly Project as I believe that a number of them use and contribute to OSM...and those that don't, should. Maybe it can gain traction for next quarter...OSMUK could be used as a means to introduce ourselves officially to any university that

[Talk-GB] "OSMUK-in-a-box"

I come from a database background, and when a question isn't easily answered with Taginfo or Overpass Turbo I jump to my trusty local postgres database of UK data. I have a script that downloads the British Isles from Geofabrik, loads it with osm2pgsql, adds some useful indexes, and then removes

Hi Tony, I did something similar a while back at https://github.com/rasilon/osm_database so that might help you get started? Cheers, Derry On Thu, 6 Feb 2020 at 13:10, Tony OSM wrote: > Absolutely Fabulous! > > Not done Docker but I'll start learning how to get it on those > environments. > >

Absolutely Fabulous! Not done Docker but I'll start learning how to get it on those environments. I'll try to support by QA and writing instructions as to how to get it live. Cheers TonyS999 On 06/02/2020 12:29, Jez Nicholson wrote: I come from a database background, and when a question

Re: [Talk-GB] "OSMUK-in-a-box"

When you have the setup guide drafted, I'll have a go at following the instructions to see if they're correct. I've never set up anything OSM locally so I can be your fresh pair of eyes on it. Thanks. Regards, *Paul* On Thu, 6 Feb 2020 at 13:17, Derry Hamilton wrote: > Hi Tony, > I did

Re: [Talk-GB] "OSMUK-in-a-box"

Excellent. Not a new idea then. https://alexurquhart.com/post/set-up-postgis-with-docker/ looks like a reasonable summary of what Docker is and why. It being the whole of the UK, the download and create takes a while. I will be giving the choice of a smaller area, e.g. Greater Manchester. I'd

Hey Jez, Awesome! I’ve used Docker a few times, so am fairly confident in it, so happy to help unless someone else gets there first. Best, Adam On 6 Feb 2020, 12:31 +, Jez Nicholson , wrote: > I come from a database background, and when a question isn't easily answered > with Taginfo or

"OSM is not beholden to data consumers. They take the data 'as is'. That includes any amendments My planned amendment can always be reversed if there is a valid reason. Upsetting CU isn't one" Not a great way to build a community when the data user in question put in a lot of resource in order

Re: [Talk-GB] "OSMUK-in-a-box"

Indeed. I will be plundering the excellent repository from Derry Hamilton for the Docker setup soon (unless someone beats me to it). I'd like to make the dataset all of the areas covered by OSMUK...do we cover British Overseas Territories such as Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands? On Thu, 6
