Re: [Talk-us] Old Aerodromes

Many of them may be valid, and could be nothing more than a farmer's private grass landing strip for his cropduster. The FAA does have a regulation requiring anyone establishing or closing an airfield (a private farm strip qualifies) to notify the government, but they don't really police it.

[Talk-us] Old Aerodromes

Hi, I was mapping some rural area in the U.S. and noticed, not for the first time, an aerodrome node in the middle of a field where there is obviously no airport or airfield. So I decided to collect all aerodrome nodes in the U.S that have not been edited since 2013 and make a MapRoulette

Re: [Talk-us] Strategy for Naming Parts of a Large Park

Kevin: We can put park data as a name= tag into a node and see it render. Sometimes that is a good placeholder, good enough. Where Elliott and I seem to agree is that we put units of parks into a similarly-named park super-relation. (I hyphenate that, Elliott seems not to, OK). The

I am very sorry for my lack of communication. Yes I am Tom Mueller. I have a class called Introduction to Geography. It is a class of 100 students. I offered my students an opportunity of extra credit if they completed 3 new buildings in their hometown (about 45 students took me up on this

Dr. Mueller: There is no problem! OpenStreetMap endeavors to be many things to many people, academia and students VERY much included! All I was saying is that it can be helpful to find a local ambassador to act as a guide. This isn’t necessary, merely helpful. If I had more bandwidth to

Re: [Talk-us] Best way to contacting users who are taking a class, but are possibly damaging data at same time?

Hey, I emailed Tom Mueller asking if it is indeed his class and if it is, to sign up for this list if he hasn’t already and post a little bit of info on the class and the students’ editing assignments. I am curious about this work and hope we can learn something about OSM in the classroom! I

Re: [Talk-us] Best way to contacting users who are taking a class, but are possibly damaging data at same time?

I'm equally inexperienced in the contact department, so take what I say with that gain of salt. This appears to be a class at California University of Pennsylvania (calu.edu), and the last of the users you link appears to be Dr. [Tom] Mueller himself. Perhaps someone with some degree of

[Talk-us] Spring Mapathon May 14-15

Hey all, If your weather is anything like mine, you must be thinking about getting out to map again! (If you haven’t already.) Well think about this: next month is Spring Mapathon weekend, on May 14-15. Now is the time to start planning your local Mapathon event! If your OSM group is on

[Talk-us] Best way to contacting users who are taking a class, but are possibly damaging data at same time?

I've been noticing today in my local area that there are several users (6 of them [1]-[6]) using the same changeset comment of "GEO100 Dr. Mueller's class". Several of these changesets are their first ever, so it seems to me that this class just started. Only 1 of the accounts seems to be
