Hi All, We were having very strong list of ideas in last two years as compared to this year. You can evaluate this thing from the following links. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2010 http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2011 and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2012 According to me we need to go for more ideas immediately as today is the last day of submitting the applications and after that Google will start evaluating to select organisations and may be will assign slots accordingly. So I request all to please spend a little time If you thinks you are having a good idea that should or can be implemented in OSM.

The programme is to encourage university students to participate in open source projects. They receive a payment from Google to allow them to work on computer coding projects over the summer break rather than taking other work. OSM receives a small contribution for its participation too. To take part OSM has to provide a list of 'project ideas' for challenging, but achievable projects, then offer a mentor to help the successful students achieve their project goals. We have started an ideas page at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2012. Please will you have a look, and add any project ideas you can come up with to the list? Also, if you would be willing to act as a mentor, please make a note on that page too. We need to complete the project ideas list this week, so please put down anything you can think of eary. If you would like any more information, please let me know.

With regard to the answers there may be one or a few chosen distributions the asked person would give you probably, and that's completely okay. Okay, yes having a number of option is a good thing but I think this 20 or 30 at the most would be good enough and can fulfill the purpose, but there is about 500 approximately. If I ask you, which computer game to buy as a christmas present, you would ask back, who should get it, too, and don't recommend the same for a hardcore gamer as you would recommend for my 5 year old sister - and for me, that sounds reasonable. If I take the example of maps: Google Maps is the best example of your every question, almost everyone uses these maps and comes default with the most of the smart-phones, although there are many Google maps based other applications most of the people love to use official releases and sometimes they don't even bother to change them. The other reference is I can take from Social Networking Website: Facebook is currently having 750 million accounts, and is it not a surprising thing that how taste of so many people meeting at one place and after that is twitter having the maximum number of users. Although there are so many social networking website exist. If you want an official OSM application - what should it be able to do? viewing osm maps? that's possible with hundrets of applications - and with the osm.org website, too. editing? There are people who prefer JOSM and others who prefer potlatch. Both are highly connected and associated with osm without being official. routing? What kind of routing? How fast? online? offline? As I told earlier, that first of all the most basic features displaying maps should be both online and offline, along with the navigation and and tracking. If you would want to make an official app supporting everything, I promise, this is not stable for a long time, as it's very much maintenance work. If you would want to do that supporting all(tm) platforms (android, iphone, windows mobile, windows, linux, mac-os desktops, ...) it's much much more difficult, and if you would not want to support some of these platforms, but call it official you have to explain, why osm officially supports one platform, but the other one.

First of all, would it be a map display/use app or a map data editing app? It should be just a map display with basic features(not all in one) which should only use the data of osm and osm layers to show the map. This application should be of name 'OSM' or should having the recommendation of OSM community to use it. Typically when you try to write everything in one, it gets unwieldy and hard to use. Yes, I am agree with you for this as I said earlier it should have only the basic features like display map, routing, navigation and track recording. Do you want the OSMF board to write the code? Do you want them to pay someone to write the code just so it can be official? No I don't want to pay them to someone else. That's not how OSM works. The OSMF runs basic infrastructure and that's it. The community writes applications, documentation, editors, etc. The same way I want that the community should write this application or should start it as a project or they can also recommend a already built application which only servers OSM data. And that's what has happened for smartphones. I have 7 different OSM related apps on my android and use them all for different things. As I concluded from the above discussion OSMAnd is the best one available and having the maximum features. But still I would like to ask you that which application would you recommend to someone to use from the all seven you are using. I can get on- and off-line rendering and routing including turn-by-turn voice navigation, data collection, and data editing apps which covers pretty much everything OSM related I want to do on my phone. And in case you haven't found it yet, there is a big link right at the top of http://osmand.net that goes directly to the nightly .apk file for free. I have found it and already installed it on my device. Thank You for help. My point is just simple that how many of the people are using any common application related to OSM?, Just like openstreetmap.org there should also be one application named with OSM by OSM community, It doesn't matter on which infrastructure it has been built e.g osm.org uses portlatch for map editing, mapnik and mod_tile for rendering etc. Its just a idea to unite all the community and people to use one common application, but people can install as many applications as they want it will completely their choice. Because If people are not collaborating with OSM or open source day by day, for whom we are doing all this, writing a lot of application collecting all the data, they may be happy with using other organisation's map.

There are some lines which I think have no meaning and should not be there. You can check these from the following area. http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=31.2841lon=75.5262zoom=12layers=M With a lot of streets having easy geometry it's no problem to map 4 street per minute using Bing. Yes It can be possible, but still I am suspicious about it, that why any one from any other country will map this city. I have also noticed some more cities with similar type of mappings in a very short time. There are two lines written on his user page which are in german language. So he can be from german.

[OSM-talk] Hack the Map An Idea for Online Mapping Events.
Hello Everyone, I am organising event to do online mapping, to increase the enrichment of OSM maps, also we have set up a lab to train the students and to make them able to work on OSM on that day. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hack_the_Map So My point is that, just like mapping parties include both field work and computer work. Hack the Map is the idea to do only computer work, in which organisers will also set up a lap to do all the mapping at one place and also to teach others about how to do that and to aware people, and people interested all over the world can also join them to make the maps. In this context people joining online can do mapping the area of slot allotted to them or of there own area, and the people joining them around the world will be appreciated and there name will be also included in the page of the event. This is just and Idea and motive is the Enrichment of OSM Maps. Please give your valuable suggestions to make it better, also add the points that you wants to take care about during this kind of online event event.

On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 4:42 PM, Richard Weait rich...@weait.com wrote: First of all, thanks for your valuable response. I'm sure there have been similar events before. Yes, I also thinks that there are many. I apologize for being critical of your event. It seems to me that training new mappers about OSM only with armchair mapping techniques misses an important opportunity. To be sure, aerial imagery can be a helpful resource when mapping. But aerial imagery is only one resource, and it is one that is often a years-old reference. Even aerial imagery that is current offers only a limited perspective. Please include real field work as part of your event. It is that real field work that provides the very best, most current, data to a mapper. We are organising mapping parties from last few years at continuous intervals, and we have also collected the data of large areas and data collected is also of very rich quality. But the problem is that we are not finding any satisfactory results. By analysing and observing all the facts we concluded that most of the people does not have the exact knowledge of how to edit make correctly and effectively, some time they also uses to give wrong tags to nodes and way-points, which is not a good thing for OSM maps. So In result we have collected the large amount of data in last mapping parties which is still pending to upload or not edited correctly. So we decided to train the students to edit maps, teaching them field work to collect data is easy but I think we should have more concentrate teach people how to edit maps effectively and correctly. As most of the people does not prefer to get or read all the pages available on wiki for there help. Please correct me If I am wrong.
