Hi Folks,
the organisation of Operation Cowboy seems to be nearly finished.

I guess we have enough target areas and thanks to Martjins Map Roulett
enough ideas on how to find new tasks :) Thanks fly out to everybody who
starts a mapping

I don't think the Tulsa one is going to happen, lack of venue.

Paul,
Martijn had suggested contacting the local library and seeing if you can
reserve a study room or something like that.
If you can't pull something together this weekend (it's not really a good
weekend for get togethers in the US), I would love to attend a mapping
party in OK in the future.
I will post on openstreetmap.us as well. I did set up a SLC event but
I don't know if anyone is going to show up for that. Lots of folks
have family obligations around here this weekend it seems.
Also I am preparing MapRoulette's next challenge in case we run out of
connectivity errors over the
It is great to see some good PR happening before the event kicks off!
I just put up a blog post about a few things I have done to try and
help out before the fact. [1]
I mention this at the end of the post and it is listed on the wiki
page but please do be aware that there is an IRC channel
I've tried to do that, Tulsa County referred me to Creek County...Creek
County doesn't return my calls and they never seem to be open (do we still
have a library??). I think Thanksgiving is a big factor, and I would
expect the lack of visibility among tribal citizens being a contributor (my

That is a great post. I will just link to that on openstreetmap.us
instead of writing another one!

The discussion about how to tag a street name is important
whether the tags are on the street or in an address.
Can we move toward using relations instead of tagging the street
name in each address?
Copying the street name into each address is problematic.
If we hope to some day have all
ok, thanks, carl. this helps. i'm working on an emergency services
related project
right now and it's helpful to learn about these things.
the next question is this. supposing we implement Steven's proposal, how

Hmm sorry to hear that! To offset a negative experience, my experience
with the SLC public library has consistently been great - they have an
online reservation form, where you can state you preference for room
size (I think they have rooms to accommodate up to 50 people) and
equipment / services
Hi all,
Two things:
First, thanks Mark, for a very useful suggestion. I need to think about it,
but I think it has merit from the standpoint of streamlining the address
assignment process, as well as keeping address points in sync with their
associated streets.
Second, Richard, please see
relations seem to be a elegant solution for people with technology
background. And all your arguments are good ones
BUT they have quite some disadvantages. Too many non techies have problems
to get the concept right. As a result they break existing relations or they
are scared away from editing

Hello all,
I don't know a lot about this, but
apparently there is a current effort in the U.S.
to improve the addressing in rural areas so
emergency responders can locate addresses more
easily. It might be advantageous to look at their
addressing scheme to see if there is something

In taginfo, I see there is already some use:
86023 instances of associatedStreet
14921 instances of Street
This is still small compared with:

Second, Richard, please see Carl's post which talks about the proposal from
the standpoint of emergency services. Carl could likely say what the pros
cons are of splitting the tags vs loading everything in the addr:street tag.
i did read Carl's post.
I understand what you're saying. It is a nice solution, but it's not
without trade offs. In the very short run, relations are difficult for new
mappers, both conceptually and using the existing tools to create and
maintain them. In the longer run, I think our editing tools will improve,
hopefully
