[talk-ph] The navigation system in our brains

2011-07-02 Per discussione Eugene Alvin Villar
Hi guys,

Here's an interesting article from 2009 showing how our brains help us
to navigate the world and why there are people who can get so
hopelessly lost.

http://www.walrusmagazine.com/articles/2009.11-health-global-impositioning-systems/

I guess most of us in the list have a natural talent for spatial
navigation (instead of cue-stimulus-based navigation)? :-)

[OSM-legal-talk] license change effect on un-tagged nodes

2011-07-02 Per discussione Frederik Ramm

Hi,

   suppose there's a node that has been created by user A with no tags 
on it. Suppose the node has later been moved by user B. A has not 
accepted the CT, while B has.


Will the node have to be removed when we go to phase 5 of the license 
change?


You could say: yes, because version 2 is clearly a derived work of 
version 1.


You could also say: no, because the information added in version 2 
(new coordinates) overwrites all information that was there from version 
1, so there is nothing left to be protected.


Opinions?

Bye
Frederik

I'm guessing, but I feel your simple example above would only hold
true for unattached nodes.

I don't see Germany or France either!

I tried to build a geospatial hierarchy out of OSM about a year ago 
and gave up on it because the quality of data wasn't good.  I ended up 
using Yahoo's GeoPlanet because at least it was (sorta) consistent,  
even if the shapes look terrible.


For instance,  one problem is that there's no constraint that 
forces country outlines to be closed.  For instance,  the boundary of 
South Africa contained only the coastline.  This kind of problem 
persists in OSM because OSM's quality control mechanism is feedback 
that come from users who are interested in maps.  If you're just drawing 
maps,  the boundaries of the countries to the north of South Africa will 
cause the boundary to be properly drawn.  Nobody sees or cares that 
there's something wrong.


On the other hand,  if you're interested in doing spatial reasoning 
(Is point A inside South Africa?) the non-closed country boundary is 
absolutely useless.


I guess the answer is somebody who wants good data in this 
department ought to fix it,  but it's a big job,  and since GeoPlanet is 
good enough for now,  I haven't been motivated to try to do anything 
about it.

Re: [OSM-talk] Czech republic not in Europe?

2011-07-02 Per discussione Ed Loach
I would be tempted to say that what you/OSM really want(s) is a
European boundary relation rather than a Europe relation containing
all the European country relations, which seems to fall under the
Relations are not categories[1] abuse of relations.

C'è già un pacchetto per josm. Magari non è proprio l'ultimo ma va bene.
E se lo installi dal gestore dei pacchetti ti installa automaticamente
anche java e tutto quello che serve...

Non ti so dare istruzioni precise se vuoi usare la GUI per installarlo...
ma da linea di comando basta un

sudo apt-get install josm

[Talk-co] Otro Parque Nacional Natural: Tatamá, que se lo pretende robar la Minería

2011-07-02 Per discussione Humberto Yances

Estimados maperos:

Buenos días.  ¿Qué tácticas podemos sumar a la estrategia de apoyar a
las entidades que luchan por proteger el territorio y parques naturales
del fenómeno corrupto en la minería [0]?  El parque Tatamá está mapeado
con el trazado a 2007 [1], está interesante el tema [2].

Algunas ideas para ir conversando:

- Grupo de maperos enfocados en el tema ambiental;
- Subir a OSM los contratos mineros tal como en La Colosa (¿donde se
encuentran esos datos?);
- Divulgar por redes sociales;
- Alianzas con ONG defensoras del medio ambiente;
- Asesoría técnica en SIG's.

En Cartagena el POT mantiene en reserva los manglares; sin embargo desde
las fotos bing a dic. 2009 se evidencia la deforestación del manglar y
la construcción en esos terrenos [3].

Reciban un cordial saludo,

Humberto Yances
