+1 for importing this. I'm curious for a battle plan of whoever leads this
effort, this will be a lot of work.
I think the plan should be to give the local mappers some time hand merge
the data in, record what towns

Sweet.
I wish more local governments took this approach.
I agree. I'm looking at several local governments in Virginia (including
Arlington). Nearly all of them have some boilerplate language such as this,

My county has virtually the same copyright, and sells a GIS DVD for
$500. For the time being, I have given up the idea of any import - the
biggest gain
I have had no trouble obtaining data from various governments here in
Utah. Once they made me do a GRAMA[1] and the data is not always
readily available for download, but so far I have gotten what I asked
for at the city of Salt Lake, the transit agency UTA as well as the
state GIS dept AGRC.

I would highly encourage anyone who's pursuing these types of datasets to
not be deterred by these statements force local authorities to confirm
that this policy is indeed prohibitive. You can ask local authorities if
the data will be opened or if they would release it for use in OSM under a

I think your approach is exactly right. It never hurts to ask, and the tone
of your note is pitch perfect. Thanks for drafting a template we can all
use.

I won't be in the meeting but there's a (small) dataset that could be
used for analyses of whether automated welcome messages work. I'm not

I've attempted to use the address merge script. However I'm getting an
error message when merging. I'm sure the error is due to the operator not
the script. The script hangs with an TypeError: must be string or read-only
buffer, not None.
Rather than pursue the problem, I'm going continue with
Jeff,
Have you had a chance to look at the data from King County yet? Do they
have more current addresses than Seattle? Seattle was as of 2009. Probably
not much as changed as Seattle is pretty much built out, but there may have
been some changes and additions. I remember the City Council
No - not yet, but we should definitely take a look compare the two
datasets for any potential differences.

I just moved to the Deale, Maryland area and am working on cleaning up the
Tiger data and mapping as many POI as I can. I found that the shoreline here,
though, is very rough. Along the Chesapeake Bay the TIGER/Line® 2008 Place
Shapefiles appears to outline the separation of water and land
Alright well I went ahead and did this tonight. It still isn't perfect
but it is MUCH better. For those who didn't look, here is a
before/after shot. The before is from OpenCycleMap since it hasn't
re-rendered the area yet.
That looks much better. Now I can trace the Alaska Marine Highway
So what data does this include exactly? Parks? Roads? What?
